John suggest you can also think about what makes the booking process
that little bit special?
Is it something the customer receives on arriving at the hotel (box

around, is it a % off the next visit, is it a free

Before providing a list of sites or designs - what key questions do
you think people would have of broadband providers before arriving at
their home page?
What are the types of things they would want to be able to do through

Feeling free to blatantly point to my own take on Compared to What?,
http://meiert.com/en/blog/20080703/compared-to-what/. I understand
this concept's root in information design, but worry about the
supposed fact that not only many designs, but rather news sources
fail in answering that question.
Jens,
Interesting article. I've posted a (rather lengthy, sorry) comment, but was

I had this problem yesterday with Google Video Uploader. The login window
has a 'Submit' button which stays disabled till the user types the first
digit of his/her password (I had asked it to remember my username).
It looked strange and took me an unnecessary effort to realize it was not
broken!
Tangent: what is your opinion on performing card sorting one-to-one
individually vs in a group? ...
*Individually*
Pro: you can get a better picture of individuals' mental models
Con: usual amount of time to compare all the sortings
*In a group*
Pro: you can take advantage of the consensus

Inline validation is the best way to go, but the user could still not enter
anything and see that the form is disabled and wonder why. but that is a
better trade off then having a button they can press which doesn't work.
better to prevent errors then allow them and then message about them later.

Id say yes UCD is broken and have always been.
Personally I close to hate everything about that approach.
The reason why it's broken is manifold, but primarily the problem is

everyday is that someone on a product team will refer to poor
usability, but not highlight what the comparison is for this judgment
