Put Buyers First? What a Concept
WOW. This is a must-read article about Amazon.com, and the principles of customer service upon which Mr. Jeff Bezos built the company. I wish executives at Apple would read this article and step it up.
Educating Users through Design
This article from Smashing Magazine was a great one, talking about designing your user interface to help people learn to use your product. The examples are fantastic, something we can all learn from.
Fancy Form
This is a superb little script that allows developers to have some fun with styling checkboxes and radio buttons. We used it recently, and it was super easy. Best of all, it degrades nicely for those that don’t have javascript enabled in their browser.
The Ultimate Office for Software Developers
While I have mixed feelings about having an office (our team all chooses to work from home), I found this article from Freshview to be really cool. I love seeing what others are doing in our business, and that is quite an office!
Checking Out Ecommerce Checkout
For those interested in eCommerce, this study of checkout pages by Varien is quite fascinating. Great examples and insight!
Wufoo Form Gallery
I have great admiration for the team at Wufoo. The design of their application is awesome, and the product is right on. I happened to really like the new form gallery they unveiled recently. Great design!!
New Window Links in a Standards-Compliant World
Ever wondered why target=”_blank” attribute does not validate under a strict doctype? I have, and this article not only explains why, but also provides a standards-compliant solution.
Mandolux - Desktop Wallpapers
A friend of mine discovered this website not long ago. It has very well done wallpapers, many of them meant for 2 or 3-screen setups. Very cool!
