There are two types of design clients in the design world: Those with more money than time, and those with more time than money. The former usually prefer to take a hands-off approach. They’re happy to hire out all tasks to you, large or small, and then pay the bill when it comes. It’s smooth […]

Notifications are all around us on the web and on mobile. Originally intended to help our user experience and usability in general, that’s not always been the case in practice since notifications can quickly become an annoyance if they’re designed poorly or not managed properly.

Ah, I remember the days well… when everything was a shiny, drop-shadowed gradient, with at least 6 pieces of clip art, and a stock photo of 5 celebratory office workers. We loved pictures of keyboards with nonsensical buttons on them, and 3D-effect stick people holding glossy symbols. And then what happened? iOS 7 came along. The […]

You aren’t being paid… Scratch that. You aren’t being paid what you’re worth. You bend over backwards for your clients. But they have no idea how hard you work. How much effort it takes to do what you do. So they nickel and dime you to death. They use special phrases to send you hints. […]

In the last couple of years we’ve noticed more and more websites following the same basic format. This is typically referred to as design convergence; two designers, approaching the same problem, might reasonably arrive at the same solution—even more so, if they’re aware of each other’s work. It’s common to hear complaints from designers (rarely […]
Hard as it is to believe, it’s been over 20 years since the World Wide Web has become a mainstream part of our collective culture. It has played a major part in changing how we communicate and how we work. There aren’t many aspects of our lives that haven’t been changed by the web and […]

Let’s say that co-owners of a business who know nothing about creating a website (except that they need one) are in the market for a website.

As soon as we decided writing was a good thing, everyone wanted to be a writer. Even now, almost everyone feels like they have a book inside them. Even people who don’t read books want to write one. And I bet almost all those would-be authors have at least tried blogging. Blogging used to be […]
