When creating software members of the design and development team are constantly changing the code base as the software goes through each iteration but at times this can create an issue. Because of rapid development processes, files and code get change or deleted at a very constant rate. An example of this is Purencool Iticket the core grew and expanded so rapidly that each day there are a lot of changes.

But how does it happen, why are some websites so magnetic we could spend hours looking at them and yet others send us running in the opposite direction at warp speed? Visual communication is an amazing medium. The real reason for this is that we are subconsciously aware of what we like but don't always know why .
