How do we balance the user experience (UX) with reasonable security measures? It can be done, if you keep these fundamentals in mind.

If you don’t want your company's site to fail on the web, you’d do well to observe these best web design practices and make sure you implement them when applicable.

If you’re trying to turn your small- to medium-sized business website into something great, then look to some of the strategies being used by similarly sized businesses for inspiration.

Although it can be difficult to imagine, someday your child will have a career of his or her own. He or she will likely start a family, buy a home and start having their own children.

So, while being a kid is still extremely important, it’s also important for you, as the parent, to start thinking about your child’s future. For many of us, that means investing in a college fund — but that’s hardly the end of it.

What many of us don’t do is truly prepare our child for the working world. It’s not until middle school or high school that we really start discussing the idea of going to college. Maybe we need to start a little earlier than that?

I’m not suggesting you should choose a career for your child. But you should be able to identify certain skills and characteristics that would make them a suitable candidate in various types of industries, such as a future developer or UX designer. You can nurture that skill set early on, and prepare him or her for a potential career in one of those fields.
 

Invest in Future Developers and UX Designers

To make this simpler, I’ll merge these two career paths into one.

Computer scientists drive the technological infrastructure of our world. They develop and create new hardware, software, applications and even methods for using technology. Many opportunities like software engineers, mobile application developers, game developers and even UX designers fit into this broad field.

Why does this matter? Well, since …

"In order to have an organized way for empathy mapping, we rely on a psychological model and trying to model it in a simple way, so we will split the board to three section for each persona and a scenario and try to see what those personas would Do, Think and Feel, when they are in that scenario."

Elizabeth Sanders (2002) believes there is a shift happening in design that generated an attitude to think about designing with users instead of designing for users (Sanders, 2002). Everyone has something to add on top of the main idea in a design process, so why should they be ignored? She also stated If they can have appropriate toolkits to express their ideas, they can share their thoughts and ideas in a creative process. However, it should be considered that these participants are not part of the team, but they speak for the research and share their insights.

It is also believed that, it is hard to design experience, because it is a step-by-step creative activity and users will produce it. This process has two sides, communicator and communicate, it is important to see how these two are interacting in a certain moment. The question here is how this communication can be understood and how they can be collected in a sort of valuable conversation, which can create positive effects during the design process in order to design a meaningful experience? To summarize, how do we access experience?

Access to Experience

Elizabeth Sanders (2002) in her all encompassing research about user-centered process and co-design has proposed sort of rules in order to collect users’ current experience and their preferred experience. She believes designers can listen to what people say, and catch what they think. Designers also can watch what people do…

Wireframe design, a tool for being more creative!

When information, interface, and navigation are being designed, page concept comes up to create a unified skeleton for a website. Garrett (2010) says: “the page layout must incorporate all the various navigation systems, each designed to convey a different view of the architecture” (Garret, 2010, p. 128); all of these pieces are necessary because they have a role in the page. Therefore, information design is crucial for a good result in this part.

A wireframe can be defined as schematic way to create the skeleton of a website that shows how all elements can be fit together to communicate with users (Garrett, 2010). Wireframes collect all ideas in a single document and in the process of working on a web project it is an important reference for the implementation of visual design (Garrett, 2010).

Wireframes are the first phase in a formal visual design for a web project (Garrett, 2010), and in the whole process of development, the developers must be able to come back and compare the product with what has been defined in the wireframe. A wireframe should be a tool for builders of a website to check if they are progressing correctly.

Garrett also believes that when there are separate visual designers and user experience designers in a project, the wireframe enables both sides to share their comments and ideas on a specific topic. It also helps them find hidden questions, apart from its utility in uncovering …
