Business people have learned that the intranet is the perfect place to communicate their goals and statuses to all employees. This information helps employees realize how the organization is doing and motivates them to work toward and achieve organizational goals. It also adds a level of respect, signaling to all employees that they are important

Uniqlo.com used a nonintrusive passive notification to provide feedback that an item was added to the shopping cart. No action was necessary to dismiss the notification. Such notifications sometimes cause issues for e-commerce shoppers who do not notice the brief messaging. Users who miss the message may respond by adding an item to the cart

We get countless questions about small details in UI design that don't matter much to the overall user experience. One classic is the order of buttons in dialog boxes: OK / Cancel Cancel / OK Both are reasonable choices, and people can argue for hours about their preferences: Listing OK first supports the natural reading order in

Melissa Hathaway came across our radar recently when President Obama tasked the former Bush administration aide with leading a 60-day review of Bush’s Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative; a largely classified, purported $30 billion, multi phase plan to address cybersecurity issues that Hathaway was involved in developing.

One of the most common questions that people might ask digital collectors is why they buy artworks that they can’t display? You can’t put a digital figurine on a mantlepiece and while you can broadcast a digital image to a screen, you’re not likely to keep that screen on all the time. The blockchain has made owning collectibles easy. It

The problem is, intermediaries between the advertisers and publishers take substantial commissions for their services. These services have given the name to a phenomenon called “walled gardens of data” – an environment that can control your access to web services and information. Blockchain advertising removes the need for

When deciding where to start or what to focus on first, use some of these top UX methods. Some methods may be more appropriate than others, depending on time constraints, system maturity, type of product or service, and the current top concerns. It’s a good idea to use different or alternating methods each product cycle because they are aimed at

The entire point of the journey-mapping process is to uncover gaps in the user experience (which are particularly common in omnichannel journeys), and then take action to optimize the experience. Insights and ownership are critical elements that are often overlooked. Any insights that emerge from journey mapping should be explicitly listed. If

During our research, we set up a collaborative spreadsheet where the observers could document and code (in real time) the participants’ verbal remarks, physical gestures, or written words. The Topic columns held notetaker-specific tags for each note, created as the session notes were generated (for example, Culture, Behavior, and Facilitation

In today’s rich ecommerce landscape, finding the right product takes time and effort. Thus, it makes sense for users to want to avoid redoing the same work. However, using the shopping cart for saving items of interest occasionally conflicts with the normal functionality of the cart, which is to hold items for the current purchase. For example

Long dropdown lists are especially difficult for mobile users, particularly those on iOS. The iOS picker control (which is used for implementing dropdowns) occupies half the screen and displays only a few items at a time. If the list is long, users have to scroll many times before getting to values at the end of the list. In our studies, users

Limiting the number of elements on the screen can allow key touch targets to be larger and further spaced apart, and thus easier to tap. For instance, the Glow Baby app timer to track how long a baby is nursing dedicated most of the screen to the two touch targets corresponding to the nursing timers (each target measured to 2.3cm, or 0.9in, wide

System integration and its customization always incur ongoing IT expenses. Unfortunately, there is no universal application that could solve all integration challenges. However, OpenText xECM solutions have a lot of ready-made functionality and significantly cut down implementation costs. In addition, there are technical consultants and IT vendors

Picking the best country for outsourcing software development is an important step on the way to choosing a vendor and setting up a dedicated development team. Without any doubt, both Poland and Ukraine are the destinations where you can find a lot of qualified resources for your nearshore development team. These countries have the booming IT

The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® is a global standard-setting organization in the outsourcing sphere. The companies included in GO 100 listing have proven their excellence in 5 aspects, namely size and growth, customer references, awards and certifications, programs for innovation, and corporate social responsibility

Regarding “The Everything Directory” (the 2nd category in the global navigation) this alphabetical listing of the university’s online content was not helpful for users. Alphabetical listings can work well when there is a well-known, common vocabulary for the terms used. At a university, however, most visitors don’t know the correct

UX work happens in many different contexts, from very lean startups that employ Agile methodologies and embrace little documentation, to consulting engagements for third-party clients, all the way to large corporate or government environments with strict process and documentation requirements. What unites these very different work environments is

Collaboratively identify common themes or elements that surfaced throughout the designs. Give groups a collective “$100” (or any other monetary value) to spend on the list of features or concepts that have emerged from the workshop up to this point. Have the group decide together how to allocate value across the list of features. During the

Big data is the type of data that is characterized by informational and technical features. A huge and ever-growing data volume, variety of data formats and log of records nature belong to the informational aspects. Traditional solutions were no longer suitable for capturing, storing and processing the data distinguished with such features

Voting and governance through tokenization has been done through Distributed Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). While in an ideal world the voting rights would work very similar to standard governance in companies, but there are again no regulations. This may prove to be an issue in specific scenarios. Yet, many VCs point to tokenization as the

It’s fair to say that people connected to the ideas of terrorism will use any form of weapon possible to maim and kill at their disposal and a car or truck is just one tool in their potential arsenal. It’s also true that preventing terrorism is a multifaceted problem that encompasses law enforcement, intelligence, politics, and

To have the correct image in technology means businesses must have a thorough understanding of the field of public relations (PR). They must realize that the breakneck pace of innovation in the industry makes it difficult to differentiate themselves from competitors. Overcoming that obstacle requires some industry-specific tactics and knowledge

Whenever users interact with a system, they need to know whether the interaction was successful. Did the system actually catch that button press or was it busy with something else and it ignored it? Did the item get added to cart? Did the request go through? (One reason users have these questions is that they have been burned before by technology

That may be true for many users in many circumstances; however it’s not always true. Every now and then, users will shop at sites where they are unlikely to go back. (This is one of the 5 main classes of e-commerce user behavior.) They would rather finish their task as soon as they can and be done with it; the benefits of creating a new account

For new users trying to learn about the service, just a short tagline on the homepage is enough to quickly and effectively explain who you are and what you do. Once this groundwork has been laid, people might feel compelled to start the relationship with your site in earnest. However, without this initial context, Get Started links are no better

The process of disabling the 5.0 editor should not be a hassle. In the coming days, we will be rolling out an admin notice that will display on the Dashboard page* of your site(s). This notice will have information about adopting the new editor and will provide buttons to install/activate the Classic Editor, or upgrade your site to 5.0 ahead of

Last week, WP Engine employees from our Limerick and London offices came together for the bi-annual All Hands event in Limerick. All Hands is a 2-day event where employees come to engage with, collaborate, and strategize with employees from other offices. This year’s theme was “Boldly Go” in honor of the famous sci-fi sagas Star

During a month where many are focused on resolutions around wellbeing and professional and personal growth, we are proud to announce that WP Engine was recognised as a centre for Excellence in Wellbeing by Great Place to Work! To calculate wellbeing, employees completed a survey that analysed for the six dimensions of wellbeing in the workplace
