you've already decided that you should.
How to implement them is what you're asking.

In planning a new website for a client, I'll get the chance to
observe their call centers and sales process in addition to
interviewing the company's representatives.
I am developing lists of questions to use when interviewing these
teams, and I thought I'd ask for your input.

Many of the art directors I work with have stacks of my sketches on
their desk.
Recently, in a kick-off meeting for a quick and simple project, I
sketched up my take on the requirements and handed the sketch to the

Days later, I was at her desk reviewing her work, and
Multiple search fields are bad. I'd recommend one of the following
approaches:
1) Default to a global search result page, but offering a dropdown
between the keyword field and submit button where users can scope

I agree with Jeff's concerns about page load, but I disagree that the
global navigation is the right place for a site map link. Rather, I
find that site maps are most often linked from the footer. If
that's the case, footers like this match the user expectation well.

Google Search does have the Did You Mean feature - perhaps that
would help in the Louise/Louisa arena?
Also look to the predictive search on Facebook as a best-in-class
example of finding people. It might be outside of your scope but is
very easy to use.

The site is easy to navigate and understand, so the feedback below is
more nit-picky, clean-up stuff. I hope it's helpful to you.
One opportunity for better usability would be to add hover effects on
all things that can be clicked on. I see them on system links, but
