WebAIM: Screen Reader User Survey Results - 0 views

  • Frederik Van Zande
     
    "In October 2009, WebAIM conducted a survey of preferences of screen reader users. This was a follow-up survey to a previous survey. We received 665 valid responses to the screen reader user survey. More in-depth analysis and documentation on the free-form responses will be available in the future.

    A few disclaimers and notices:

    * Totals may not equal 100% due to rounding.
    * Total responses (n) for each question may not equal 665 due to respondents not answering that particular question.
    * The sample was not controlled and may not represent all screen reader users.
    * Care should be taken in interpreting these results. Responses are based upon user experiences with web content that is generally inaccessible. We cannot help but wonder if responses may have been different if screen reader interactions with web content were typically very positive.
    * Data was analyzed using JMP Statistical Discovery Software version 8
    * We hope to conduct a survey of this nature again in the future. If you have recommendations or questions you would like asked, please let us know. Additional analysis of this data and details on the responses to open-ended questions will be available in the future."

Why are we typing passwords twice? | Unwrongest - 0 views

  • a) We use this as confirmation that we typed what we meant to type.

    b) It is a convention, it is what we expect and therefor get.

    c) Web developers are bad habit forming idiots with preconceived ideas

    d) if we type it twice we are more likely to remember it.
  • Instead of confirm password


    One solution is to just kill that extra input, like Virb and Facebook have done. Another is to replace it with a “Show Password”-checkbox using the Show Password Jquery plugin.

    To make menus and links simpler you have to think like a customer. You also have to reduce the number of links and focus on the task at hand.

    "Over a quarter-century ago, Xerox introduced the modern graphical user interface paradigm we today take for granted.

    That it has endured is a testament to the genius of its design. But the industry is now at a crossroads: New technologies promise higher-bandwidth interaction, but have yet to find a truly viable implementation.

    10/GUI aims to bridge this gap by rethinking the desktop to leverage technology in an intuitive and powerful way."

  • On ne demande surtout pas à Ségolène Royal d’être à la pointe du design Web, mais de savoir s’entourer. Avec ce site, elle prouve le contraire et c’est terrible pour son image (surtout sur les plus jeunes).

50 Most Usable RIAs - InsideRIA - 0 views

  • Frederik Van Zande
     
    Bill Scott and I have reviewed hundreds of RIAs while compiling examples for our book Designing Web Interfaces: Principles and Patterns for Rich Interactions, and subsequent talks and articles. We recently realized that we had amassed quite a list of applications. Thinking other designers and developers might be interested in these resources, we applied two simple criteria to identify the top fifty:

A List Apart: Articles: Testing Search for Relevancy and Precision - 0 views

  • Frederik Van Zande
     
    Despite the fact that site search often receives the most traffic, it's also the place where the user experience designer bears the least influence. Few tools exist to appraise the quality of the search experience, much less strategize ways to improve it. When it comes to site search, user experience designers are often sidelined like the single person at an old flame's wedding: Everything seems to be moving along without you, and if you slipped out halfway through, chances are no one would notice. But relevancy testing and precision testing offer hope. These are two tools you can use to analyze and improve the search user experience.

A List Apart: Articles: Internal Site Search Analysis: Simple, Effective, Life Altering! - 0 views

  • Frederik Van Zande
     
    Understanding of your site visitors' intent is one of the most delightful parts of web data analysis. In this article, we'll learn five ways to analyze your internal site-search data-data that's easy to get, to understand, and to act on.

    But let's take a step back. Why should you care about this in the first place? Good question.

    In the good old days, people dutifully used site navigation at the left, right, or top of a website. But, two websites have fundamentally altered how we navigate the web: Amazon, because the site is so big, sells so many things, and is so complicated that many of us go directly to the site search box on arrival. And Google, which has trained us to show up, type what we want, and hit the search button.
