3. Epicenter design focuses on the true essence of the page—the
epicenter—and then builds outward. This means that, at the

colors, sidebar, logo, etc. Instead, you start at the epicenter
and design the most important piece of content first.

fashion that allows everyone to access the basic content and
functionality of a web page, using any browser or Internet
connection, while also providing those with better bandwidth,
more advanced browser software or more experience an
enhanced version of the page.
