60 Questions to Consider When Designing a Website
We spend a lot of time asking ourselves, our clients and other people questions. Whether it’s choosing the perfect shade of green for our latest web layout or figuring out how to implement a complex typographical solution, the ability to ask the right questions is among the most critical of skills for a web designer. In this article, we’ll go over 60 specific questions that web professionals should ask before taking their website public. Why Asking Yourself Questions Is Important Many professionals work with the aid of checklists, while others routinely check for certain issues as the design evolves. The 25-point Website Usability Checklist (PDF) can be a helpful aid to your workflow. It doesn’t make the job any easier to second-guess yourself into a state of neurosis (something perfectionists do quite often) or to make blind decisions. 15 Questions for Project Management One of the central tasks of web design is project management. 1 Has the client signed the contract?

REVE - Regulaci n E lica con Veh culos El ctricos - All of the Solar Millennium Group’s core Concentrating Solar Power markets showed positive signs: Spain has provided for legal security in the issue of feed-in tariffs for pre-registered projects; the US extended its Renewable Energy Grants, for investments in solar-thermal power plants by one year; and, in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa), Solar Millennium managed to pre-qualify to participate in the bid for a 125 MW solar power plant in Morocco. In Spain, Real Decreto 1614/2010, which took effect in December, governs the details of the Spanish feed-in tariffs, thus providing for investment security and regulatory stability. These regulations adapt earlier royal decrees to the changed situation on the Spanish market. As such, it was determined that a maximum of 4,000 full-load hours will be remunerated for a parabolic trough power plant with 9-hour thermal storage capacity. International studies have also announced the continuous rise of solar-thermal power plants.

redheadjessica State multiculturalism has failed, says David Cameron 5 February 2011Last updated at 18:55 David Cameron said Britain had encouraged different cultures to live separate lives David Cameron has criticised "state multiculturalism" in his first speech as prime minister on radicalisation and the causes of terrorism. At a security conference in Munich, he argued the UK needed a stronger national identity to prevent people turning to all kinds of extremism. He also signalled a tougher stance on groups promoting Islamist extremism. The speech angered some Muslim groups, while others queried its timing amid an English Defence League rally in the UK. As Mr Cameron outlined his vision, he suggested there would be greater scrutiny of some Muslim groups which get public money but do little to tackle extremism. Ministers should refuse to share platforms or engage with such groups, which should be denied access to public funds and barred from spreading their message in universities and prisons, he argued.

Popular Twitter 'influencers' have little influence: study The word 'influencer' is thrown around a lot today but when you get right down to it, there's still a lot of debate about influence online and who influencers are. Can marketers harness influence through social media to further their campaigns? Can marketers even identify influencers? While these are very valid questions, many simply make assumptions about what influence is and who has it. As The Telegraph reported: Scientists at Northwestern University, Illinois, used specialised mathematical algorithms to rank the most influential people “tweeting”, on the hot topic of the day. What did they find? Translation: it's all about context. While many acknowledge that metrics such as follower count are mediocre at best, we're still frequently sold on the notion that influencers are easily identified. The challenge, of course, is that, unlike with PPC, you can't simply open your wallet and target keywords. So what's the answer? Photo credit: David Shankbone via Flickr.

Good Website Inspector - The YSLOW Firefox AddOn to messure the quality of frontend HTML code Hyper-Social Organizations This is a review of the new book by Francois Gossieaux and Ed Moran called The Hyper-Social Organization; Eclipse Your Competition By Leveraging Social Media. This is not a technology book, but rather a good explanation of how consumers are changing due to prevalence of social technology, and what companies should do in order to thrive. Before reading this book, you should already have read “groundswell” and “empowered“, two books that cover the idea that social media will transform the way that customers communicate with companies. Gossieaux and Moran take this a step further and teach how one might leverage this throughout the organization. We all will have to learn this eventually. The book starts with a simple explanation: “Human 1.0″ is the way that people have interacted and worked together for thousands of years. After the introduction, the first half provides four pillars of hyper-social society: Forget market segments. Here is a quote that should give you a feeling for the book:

Work gets done almost around the clock wherever a small businessperson happens to be. That makes having a capable mobile device a necessity -- and, for the most part, a "capable mobile device" means a smartphone. But a smartphone all by itself isn't very capable. - Jake Widman
