Developing UX Agility: Letting Go of Perfection By Carissa Demetris, Chris Farnum, Joanna Markel, and Serena Rosenhan Published: June 4, 2012 “The agile literature that informed our agile champions did not mention UX activities, so it was up to our UX Design team to work out what it would mean for us to work within an agile framework.” A few years ago, our Development organization championed a move from a waterfall development approach to an agile development process. [1] Our User Experience Design team had already established a well-respected place in our organization, and everyone had a clear understanding of our roles and responsibilities within our waterfall development process. The Development team achieved its new-found agility through daily builds and two-week sprints, or releases, but as we started attending daily meetings and delivering designs, we often struggled to feed the work backlog and keep pace with them. Although achieving agile UX was a gradual process, we eventually made the shift. Perfection Revisited Endnotes

Using CSS Background-size Responsively If the latter half of 2011 is to be remembered for anything within the web community it will be for the rapid evolution and adoption of responsive web design. Though not the Holy Grail for every mobile web strategy it does correct some of the mistakes the industry made in trying to tame the untameable. Before Ethan Marcotte's A List Apart article on Responsive Web Design came along designers revelled in the constraints of the 960 grid; the limitations we imposed on our websites by determining a fixed grid system in an unfixed world gave us a false sense of control over our designs. With responsive design the tried and tested processes we have employed over the years are being rewritten to suit a new and unfamiliar way of building websites. Responsive Inline Images Images in web design have been easy for years. Luckily however inline imagery doesn’t provide all that many issues in a responsive design until you discover an image disappearing off to the right of your mobile screen.
Anton Chekhov Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (/ˈtʃɛkɔːf, -ɒf/;[1] Russian: Анто́н Па́влович Че́хов, pronounced [ɐnˈton ˈpavləvʲɪtɕ ˈtɕɛxəf]; 29 January 1860[2] – 15 July 1904)[3] was a Russian physician, playwright and author who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short stories in history. His career as a playwright produced four classics and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics.[4][5] Chekhov practiced as a medical doctor throughout most of his literary career: "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress."[6] Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theater.[7] Biography[edit] Childhood[edit] Portrait of young Chekhov in country clothes Young Chekhov (left) with brother Nikolai in 1882 Chekhov family and friends in 1890.

How Much Does a Responsive Web Design Cost? Answer: $13.47. Asking “How much does a responsive web design cost” and expecting a cut-and-dry, prescriptive answer just ain’t happening. Brian Hoff (@behoff) handily explains why in his article What Does a Website Cost? Imagine asking a Real Estate company, “How much does a house cost?” The fact is that responsive web design costs more…than doing nothing. I’ve seen a project that didn’t take mobile into consideration at its inception, and about 80% through the design process the client asked “How will this work on an iPad?” The moral of the story is that right out of the gate it’s much better to account for today’s plethora of devices, and also acknowledge the unpredictability of the future. Responsive Site Or Dedicated Experience? While this topic has almost been beaten to death by now, there are some budget-related considerations when determining how to approach a mobile web project.

Wind-tunnel UX and Branded Design Authors: Neil Barrie, Zag Strategy Director & Stephen Wake, Zag Head of Design Great brands have long understood that providing customers with enjoyable, differentiated user experiences is critical to winning their loyalty. Walk in to a Waitrose supermarket or Kohl’s store and there’s no comparison to a Tesco or a kmart from the layout of aisles, to the attitude of the staff to the products they do and don’t stock. ‘Screen’ UX offers brands a whole range of new opportunities to really deliver on their promises and strengthen their customer relationships. But too often this is a missed opportunity, we end up with experiences that are good but not great. Wind tunnel web design?

Of course this is easy to say, much harder to do.

Tips For A Finely Crafted Website Advertisement Good Web designers know what many others might not realize: that creating a truly beautiful website requires care, time and craft. And similar to how a craftsperson molds their creation by combining raw materials, skill and unwavering focus on the vision, a beautiful design is planned and executed with exceptional focus on what is to be achieved by the website. It is important, however, not to confuse a beautifully crafted website with one that simply brushes over the content with attractive visuals. Make no mistake: these methods do take extra time, and they often result in improvements that the untrained eye might not consciously register. Start From Scratch, Every Time For a truly customized design, always start with a blank slate. Whenever possible, avoid cobbling together work from old designs. Every element on the page should have a reason for existing. Invest In Custom Icons And Graphics Spotify4 is a perfect example of this. Remove Friction That Impedes Scrolling
