Beyond "clean & user-friendly": websites with a better purpose

When we talk to a client about their initial desires for a new website, 99% of the time the first comment is some variation of: I want a “clean” and “user-friendly” site.

On behalf of the web design industry, let me apologize for every ugly, tough-to-use website you’ve ever had the displeasure of navigating. I’ve seen them too, those websites of nightmares, and frankly,...

New site launch: MoxiePlay

MoxiePlay is the go-to website for women who love NFL football. Members are active on Facebook, but wanted an online hub where they could more easily talk teams, tailgating recipes, and maybe a little trash.

Leave Arial and Times in the past — @font-your-face to the rescue

If you are a graphic designer or Drupal themer, you don't need to be stuck using Arial on your website; you can easily use a great typeface from one of several providers and implement them using a Drupal module called @font-your-face.

Great content is wasted if there is no focus!

You have a message to share, a product to sell, a service to offer — but it may be all for nothing if your website doesn't have focus. When we design a website, we are always looking to focus our client's message so that the message can be heard over the "noise" of our culture.

What are you looking at? Eye Tracking can help your content be more effective.

My favorite type of data in the world of user interface design/user experience is Eye Tracking. An Eye Tracking study tells us where people look. It can tell us the order that information is scanned and it can display a heat map to show where a sample of web visitors looked on your web page. Eye Tracking can be used for web content, print media, product packaging and anything else where you want to measure what...
