52 Weeks of UX

Ghosts: invisible specters often thought to be trapped between worlds, left to torment the living or act as a messenger from the beyond. They invoke fear because we can’t touch them, can’t see them, and we don’t fully understand their existence—much like the mysterious design decisions that often haunt your product. Constraints drive and shape the design of any product. They are the foundation of a good decision-making framework, allowing multiple people to work in unison with a shared understanding. http://52weeksofux.com/

http://completeusability.com/ Quick Summary : In this article I highlight a simple but important feature missing from many bank and financial websites. I also show an example of a bank that has the feature but implements it badly, and one that offers the same function but a much better experience. T he more a company relies on technology to serve its customers, the more it has to gain or lose by the quality of its online user experience.
