Currently, the only generic Web commands that truly work are those in browsers rather than on individual sites. Examples include Back, Forward, and Print. In the latter case, it would be much more useful if the generic Print button subsumed a page's Printer-friendly version feature; clicking Print should print a printer-friendly view, not the view

Journey maps should result in truthful narratives, not fairy tales. Start with gathering any existing research, but additional journey-based research is also needed to fill in the gaps that the existing research won’t cover. This is a qualitative-research process. While quantitative data can help support or validate (or aid in convincing

These designers were presumably highly motivated to follow the standard since a part of their course grade was determined by their designs and they knew from previous lectures that compliance was to be considered a major usability consideration. Also, the standard was very small and easy to follow, making it almost impossible to overlook rules

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.

What started out as a ledger for Bitcoin transactions, turned out to have so much more potential. It has become clear that blockchain technology has many promising applications. It’s immutable and decentralized nature makes it appealing to many industries. It’s apparent that blockchain is one of the most revolutionary inventions of the

Brand is a tool for influencing choice. Brand is not made of visuals or words alone — it’s not a logo or a slogan. Nor is it a figurehead, such as Steve Jobs. Those things are simply ways to communicate the brand. Although a figurehead such as Elon Musk or a logo such as McDonald’s golden arches can and do serve to effectively deliver the

You’ll also want to set up and test your notetaking method and documentation plans ahead of time. In our research, we set up a collaborative document (see below) where all three observers could take notes simultaneously. As each notetaker documented an observation, she coded it (using her own schema). This method allowed us to collect data and

In order for stakeholders to use personas, they have to believe in them, feel invested, and have ownership over them. The most successful personas are created with involvement from their end users. Otherwise, people will have no understanding of the data behind them and the rigor that went into creating them. Coworkers may think that the UX team

On the other end of this dimension, methods that focus mostly on behavior seek to understand "what people do" with the product or service in question. For example A/B testing presents changes to a site's design to random samples of site visitors, but attempts to hold all else constant, in order to see the effect of different site-design choices

Any unusual fees that are unique to your store or class of products will be an unpleasant surprise if disclosed at the end of the checkout. Before committing to the checkout process, users want to have a general idea of the total cost of their purchase.  Many people need to stay within a budget , so an unexpected, significant fee that is revealed

Examining organization’s technology requirements is vital for understanding which of the current solutions need to be upgraded or replaced. For example, in some IT companies such departments as legal, information security, HR, etc. may have systems that are transferring protected data between countries. The operations of these departments must

Also, the country has many international airports and an easy transportation access to major cities in Europe, the USA, and Asia. Ukraine is 2-3 hours away from the UK and other Western European countries. Time zone is GMT+2, and business hours in Ukraine and Europe virtually overlap. Another big advantage of the partnership with Eastern European

Healthcare companies often contact healthcare software developers in Eastern Europe. Countries like Ukraine, Poland and Belarus have high-quality STEM education, rich talent pool, extensive domain expertise, and a wide range of experienced vendors to meet the dynamic technology requirements and business needs in the healthcare domain. We’ve

Banner blindness has expanded beyond the deliberate act of not looking at banners to encompass avoidance of anything that usually signals irrelevant information or advertisements. People disregard colorful boxes in the margin of the page because such graphical treatments are commonly applied to ads. In fact, anything that’s overly large or

The higher these individualized recommendation areas appeared on the site’s homepage, the more likely it was that users noticed and used them. For example, Amazon included several clearly personalized content areas near the top of the homepage, as well as throughout the long-scrolling page, and was often mentioned by users as a site that is

An expert review can identify minor issues that would be difficult to observe or measure in a small qualitative study: inconsistencies in font usage throughout the interface, a color that doesn’t follow brand guidelines, or the use of center-aligned text instead of left-aligned. Larger issues that go against best design practices would also get

An Information Technology (IT) department is charged with the responsibility of developing and managing a company’s technology assets. The Information Technology (IT) department includes so many differentiations that it can be mind-boggling. This blog will help you sort out what you know about IT — and what you don’t know about

Fortunately, the world as we know it is not going to end for now, but the Izrael notes that KRACK is a proof-of-concept. As patches are now being released, the hope is that it will not be exploited in the wild, but it’s likely that criminals will try. He suggests that for protection,  businesses must ensure that all their corporate and

She explained that the original design of the Internet was driven more by considerations of interoperability rather than security, and as a result we are now faced with almost insurmountable issues. Some examples include online criminals who steal our information, mass bandits who have the ability to damage portions of our internal infrastructure

It’s no secret that China has the largest consumer market in the world with almost 1.4 billion people and rising. What some may not be aware of is that China will present what will be the greatest middle-class growth bump of any country since the United States beginning in the early 1950s. In fact, by 2022 over 76 percent of China’s

We cannot argue that the photography world is in an exciting place right now. The new tech trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are being developed and implemented at an unprecedented rate. Even Facebook tried to downplay the incident in June 2017 — reported August 2017 — when their AI bots invented their own language

The exit popup can’t tell the difference. Imagine that a user is engaging in page parking to help her research a topic. She starts with a Google query, and then opens up several results into new tabs rapidly. The user begins moving through each tab, closing some that are irrelevant, but saving some to return to them later. Then, in the middle of

Thanksgiving is fast approaching in the US. So, in the holiday spirit, we’d like to take a moment to express appreciation for some of the designs that bring us joy. I know that sometimes we, UX professionals, can get a reputation as curmudgeons: always criticizing and pointing out flaws. However genuine our intent to improve an experience, the

It therefore costs $38,000 to identify the 34 usability problems that will be fixed, or $1,118 per problem. The cost of an actual fix might be much more, but in our example, the cost is modest because all that's required is a bullet point rewrite. That is, the new text must be written, approved, and placed on the site. Let's say that all of this

Additionally, two unique awards are also handed out. For this hackathon, they were Customer Inspired, which recognized a project that has real potential to impact our customers in a positive way and was decided on by WP Engine’s Chief Customer Officer, Tina Dobie; and Warp Speed, a Star Trek-themed award, which focused on a project that may

Texas’ economy is the second largest in the United States, a measure of success that’s only expected to continue; Texas ranks first for its growth prospects due to impressive growth forecasts and competitive employment rates across the state.
