UX Myths collects the most frequent user experience design misconceptions and explains why they don’t hold true. And you don’t have to take our word for it, we’ll show you lots of researches and articles from design and usability gurus.
Mir gefallen besonders gut:
- Psychological Study of Web Designs | Abduzeedo
"A website is the window to the soul of an Internet business as well as the people behind it. It may have a positive or may be a negative effect on your end result. If you take the time to think about what your visitors want and how they want to get it, then you’re already on the right track to creating a site that will tap into the psychological drives of your target audience." - The Psychology of Web Design | Webdesigner Depot
"Designers often don’t take the time they should to learn about how basic psychological principles can effect the experience their visitors have on the sites they build."

Shay Howe spricht in seiner Präsentation über die Wichtigkeit von Webseiten-Inhalten und beschreibt wie man gute Inhalte strukturiert erstellt und präsentiert.
When it comes to designing a website, content is often overlooked, but why? Very rarely do users browse the web looking for a good design or decent experience. Users come for the content. Not giving them what they want with poorly written content will frustrate users. Not only does it waste their time, but your time as well.
Neben der Präsentation hat er seine Erklärungen online gestellt und die Folien können bei Slideshare als .pdf heruntergeladen werden.

- 15 Helpful Website Usability Facts & Guidelines | BestDesignTuts
"This article explores ways to make web sites more usable for users. It examines the meaning and importance of web site usability and how usability can be considered when designing a website." - 25-point Website Usability Checklist | User Effect
"[...] I developed a 25-point website usability checklist – a way to create some method out of my madness and make sure that I don't forget anything critical when I'm working with a new client." - Usability Testing On A Budget | Visual28
"Usability testing does not have to be expensive. There is a plethora of tools available nowadays for low cost usability testing that do not require elaborate testing centers or large budgets. In the list below, I have compiled a list of tools that will cost you next to nothing to run. I think of it as guerilla usability testing for those on a shoestring budget."

Web pages often contain links like “Click here” or just “here”. This document explains why such usage is bad practice, especially for accessibility reasons.
Ein sehr kurzweiliger Artikel über die Unart Links “click here” zu taufen. Hier ein Auszug:
- “Click here” just looks stupid.
- “Click here” looks especially stupid when printed on paper.
- “Click here” is useless in a list of links or when in “links reading” mode, or whenever a link text is considered as isolated from its textual and visual context. The problems of link texts out of context will be discussed in more detail below.
- “Click here” is bad food for search engines. If you say “For information on pneumonia, click here”, search engines won’t know that your document contains a link to a document about pneumonia. Some important search engines use the link text in estimating the relevance of a link. Using descriptive link texts thus helps users in finding documents they’re interested in, potentially including your document due to a link text with some key word.
Nick Fink erklärt uns in seiner neuesten Präsentation, wie man Webseiten für mobile Endgeräte (sprich Handys) optimiert, liebe Zielgruppe.
This will be a crash course in mobile user experience design, are you ready? We will look at how the mobile context has evolved over the years and where it is headed. We’ll explore the differences between the web and the mobile web, why these differences are important, what the key user experience principals are for the mobile web …oh yeah, and there will be plenty of examples for you to sink your teeth into. I will give you the information you need to design an optimal user experience for the mobile web as well as what decisions you will need to make along the way.
Na ja, klappern gehört ja zum Handwerk. Das man nach 86 Folien eine optimale Mobile Web User Experience basteln kann, wage ich zu bezweifeln.
Aber der Kollege hat, wie immer, eine Reihe guter Beispiele zusammen getragen.
