Margeaux, You may want to check out http://myfreebusy.com/ they seem to have most of what you are looking for. Though I'm not 100% sure they can handle placement into a site.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Right-Click Actions in Web Applications (Enterprise)
What is this "right click" thing you speak of? I guess you haven't considered folks that use a left handed mouse where clicking the right button fires the primary click action. But that's cool, I'll start using the term "left click" to mean secendary click actions. That'll confuse you.

USAA has one of the best functional websites I've ever encountered and looks nice too. Granted this probably comes from not really having any lobbies and do most of their transactions through the phone and web. I would submit that USAA is a great example of "good online banking".

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Password requirements are not user friendly

These passwords also > tend to be the easiest to break in to. All of my strong passwords are easy to type (which is why I chose them). It annoys and concerns me when a website forces me to select a weak password. Restricting what a user can pick for a password to the point they they aren't going to remember, serves no one. Not the user and not the company/website. If the user cannot remember their password then the company/website should have some way to recover/reset that password. In some cases requiring the user to *call* the company to recover their password (wasted resources if the user was allowed pick a password they could remember). As far as weak passwords go, the system shouldn't be so insecure as to allow one user to cause very much damage. If the user selects a weak password and someone breaks into their account and destroys the users info/account/profile the responsibility is on the user. If the system allows that one user to destroy the system then that is on the company. Granted admins might have that power but they are not typical users and tend not to select weak passwords. The best way I've seen to encourage users to select strong passwords is to show them on the fly how strong it is. Who wants to see a big red "weak" next to their password? Just my 2 cents. -- Andrew Jaswa andrewjaswa.com wsuug.org Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list ...

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 37 Signals Change Management for IE6 "Phase Out"
Being a web developer I think this is a very good thing. IE6 is old (~7 years?) and broken in a lot of ways. While it might not be the best way to go about announcing discontinued support for IE6, it is progress in the right direction. Think if we still had to support NS4 or IE4 (*ducks* I'm sure someone out there still has to. Sorry.)? I've been waiting for announcements like this for a while now. If 37signals has the data to back up their decision I don't see this as a problem. I'm sure they have been looking at their webstats and have found that IE6 users have been dropping off left and right. I figure they found the magic number at which to stop support. The web is about change. When was the last time you used a piece of software for 7 years without upgrading?

[IxDA Discuss] Coming Soon Pages
Greetings, I have a client that wants to put several "coming soon" pages on their site. As in a link that points to a page called "About us" but the only thing on that page is the text "Coming Soon". Essentially links to empty pages. My initial gut feeling is that this looks un-professional (thinking back to the "this page under construction" days). It also could present some SEO issues, but I'm not too worried about those at this point. From a interaction perspective what would be a good argument for or against having these kinds of pages? Any links to research would also be helpful. Thanks, Andrew Jaswa Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list ...
