Well i don´t know if it helps, but i would look in to pages with music
playing applications, like grooveshark.com for example. They always
handle the content and the interface with a look and usability that
makes you think your not on a web page, and has a great content

Does anyone have examples of sites with product pages that they really
like? We're looking at new ways to present product information on our
site. Our pages currently have a lot of data and we're looking for
ways to improve the experience and reduce the clutter.
Examples that we've found include
While in normal text ... use of ellipses (%u2026) would help users
understand that there is more to come, In a menu their use is
ambiguous.
Use of a link entitled %u201CMore%u201D or %u201CDetails%u201D would
be more obvious.

@Maciej Thanks for taking the time to respond. You've given me a good
list of things to consider and present to the business to help them
make an informed decision.
I particularly like the suggestion of having a clear message
communicating what will happen if the provided address is incorrect.
Test your pages with your key customer groups and gather you product
objectives from within your business, then your own designs will be
the best they can be for your products.

mind when I'm facing this problem again, thanks.
The only scenario I can come up with when this solution is not
intuitive is when the lists of data in the details are very large,
maybe even with paging through the details. I
Hi Marcia,
It really depends what it is your product pages are showing as to
send through some suitable examples. If you are selling clothes then
large images is probably more important than specific details, if you

There is this project I'm working on that is for pet owners, breeders
and vets. They have identified 15 consumer types between the three
main segments I've mentioned. The client is requesting we create
personas for all 15. In my experience I've rarely have had to create
more than 4 on any given
One way to aproach this is to have them prioritize them... Look at
cost for all... And for a few, and make the decision together. If it's
worth it to them... And they will pay for them... Then let the process
reveal what works best.

I wonder how you could get 15 types at first. Is there any criteria?
or from researcher's pattern recognition.
I think those types can be categorized or filtered by criteria.
For example, 5 of 15 might have similar behavior regarding money.
In that case, those 5 could be in a category. But of

Hi all,
I'll be honest, though I've worked in web design and development for almost
13 years, I've never - until now - had to work with a CMS on a static site.

ago and it was pretty basic: no 'templates' or 'modules' to be

Have a look at IBM's OVID method. It uses UML to model UX elements

On reading this discussion, my thought is that it might be best to focus the
design on one segment each, and then make the personas necessary just for that
segment.
However, 15 is still probably too many. The key to condensing them would be to
focus on goals. If persona A's can be
