Will It Fly? How to Know if Your New Business Idea Has Wings...Before You Take the Leap
I found the “View Selection Source” from Firefox very usefull. Particularly if you are a web developer and need to see how a certain part of the page was created such as JavaScript, CSS. This feature allows you to see the HTML source of the part that is highlighted. With right click you will have […]
I found the warning sign next to the login field which is probably the most important element on that page very inappropriate. Everytime a user lands on that page she will think that something wrong with the page or with the login field. The first warning sign is actually welcoming the users but it is […]
Have you ever used Google Maps with a mouse that has a scroller on it? The first time I notice that you can zoom in and out the maps using the scroller was so confusing. Even after that I still not get use to it. I think from the usability point of view, it is […]
I found this site through Delicious. I did not read the articles there yet but what really bothers me is instead of finding the most important site element from the user prespective - which is navigaton - on the most user friendliest place - which is either on the top or left side -, i found “ads by Gooooooogle”. Many people integrate Google Adwords on their web sites, but I think you should not trick you visitor by placing it on the left side or on the top to camouflage it as your main navigation.
CNN International redesigned their appearance from a heavy, overload graphic and content to a simple more clear screen look. Here are some screenshots. Besides the look there are some other major changes, most obvious will be the removal of the news ticker. Instead of it, there will be a full short text of a story at a time. I think this is good since news ticker really distracts me from other textual information.
Interesting news about a student who sues Target due to the lacks of the accessibility of their web site. Read the news.
It is not a big secreet that many web designer or information architect create a rough scetch of the future web site using a pencil and a piece of paper before they use any of computer based software such as Photoshop, Firework, etc. […]
Jacob Nielsen has issued the annual top 10 best intranets of 2006. The complete report with screenshots is available if you want to purchase it for $148, it is too much for me, but his latest alert box give us an overview about some interesting points why those intranet became the top ten this year. I try to summarize the article in a meaningful categories and give my opinion to each of it.
As we know and maybe see that plenty of business owners still did not see the value of having a good quality web site in term of its design. This article on BBC web site about a study which revealed that the first impressions made by the design of the web site have a really important influence on the user decissions on that web site such as buying products or services.

Registered players are eligible for choosing the winning logo on February 1st 2006. So if any of you are registered player, don’t forget to choose my logo.
As a web designer oder developer you must have known that you can put some style into links such as color, remove the underline and creating interactivity that at the early time of web development mostly done by JavaScript such as switching the […]
This is really a cool flash site. One of an example for the proper use of flash video and i think this is much much better than using artificial avatar. By the way the web site has a great content for many kind of cocktails. So don’t miss this site, let’s go to the bar.
I have redesigned my web site a little bit, actually more to complete the content. From the design view, i have moved the whole page element to the top and moved the logo to the navigation to release the space on the top. […]
I’ve just finished rebuilding the home site of siemens.com using the Web Standards approach. In this case Web Standards signifies building a web site with a total separation of content and presentation, using XHTML to structuring the content and CSS to format the content. Web Standards also means the use of semantic structure in the web document, which can be done by surrounding the content with an appropriate mark up like H1, P, list instead of meaningless mark up like table-tr-td. It also means to lay out the site correctly, as one should already know that the table exists in order to structure the content tabularly- not to lay out the whole site.
I’m in the process of closing my time at Siemens Corp. this week. It is a kind of mandatory for everyone specially if you are a developer to make a documentation of what you have developed. So my decission to use a WIKI for documenting my work was pretty clear. The reason is i believe that a WIKI can do more than a Microsoft Word document. It is a better colaboration tool than a static Microsoft Word document. You also don’t have to pass around per email to other people if they need it. I also think that WIKI is a better colaboration tool than the one where you only can upload or download your documentation online. So this is a good start for the department.
