Un client possédant un site web nous a demandé de revoir leur interface, d’en faire ressortir les enjeux et de proposer des solutions.
UX – Experience Utilisateur
Touche à tout
Un article publié ce matin dans New York Times, intitulé « To Win Over Users, Gadgets Have to Be Touchable» note la rapidité avec laquelles les interfaces tactiles ont été adoptées par les consommateurs, à un point tel que beaucoup se retrouvent frustrés lorsqu’un appareil ne réagit pas, tel qu’attendu, à un balayage ou pointage du doigt.

bixar: find your bike in Montreal
bixar is a mobile augmented reality (3d) layer helping people finding
- bike stations with free docks (can you park?)

A comparison of performance, UX and dev-friendliness of various webfonts services
Recent technological progress has made the life of designers a little less miserable: with @font-face in CSS, Web Typography is no longer limited to a handful of choices.

Where is the (Web Site) Kitchen?
Imagine, you are working for an architecture agency. A client comes and says I need a new restaurant. The interview process is starting.

And then the conceptual work will start, hopefully the content (the menu) is available.
The project is quite advanced, the blueprints have been created and we are almost ready to start working on building… …

Mobile User Agent Strings and Wreckage Ahead
In a society with strong diversity, you design the system to be flexible enough for everyone. Often it means to find the sweet spot where you maximize the experience and the access whatever your requirements are. The work of Web standards is part of this system to maximize the experience.
