Notas del editor
- My background is in Computer Science
- Ask what the landscape of the audience is. - Usability Experts - Designers - Developers - Writers
- - Administrator who need to touch everything to take credit - To combat those ‘okay fine’ decisions ...Oh yea and dont forget about
- Notice student’s are not on the list? - Have just one main contact, get signoff’s for everything.
- No joke, include them in everything, make their life easier otherwise they will bitch all day long to make your clients life miserable. Listen to all input.
- Don’t diver right into design, get to the meat and design around that.
- Explain theirs first, then yours then throw something weird in the mix.
- Woopra. It turns visitors from numbers to individuals.
- See every visitor, where they came from, where they went, what they ate for breakfast. This is not something you could see with Google Analytics
- If your site does not accomplish what you envisioned. - Change and try try again.
- - What it comes down to is users dont want an experience, they want your content.
