I agree that this sounds like a lack of professionalism. Maybe they
did not spot the same issues that you saw? If they saw the issues, I
am not sure why they would not have taken those learnings to heart and
used them to improve the design. In the end, better design would make
them look better
Can anyone recommend resources for developing a successful large-scale
web analytics regime? Better yet, is anyone NY-based interested in
consulting in this area?
Recently we lost out on a major pitch, in part because of lack of
expertise in this area, and I'm trying to play catch up.
If you where to decide between testing during the process or testing
after the implimentation and could only choose one of them, what would
you choose?
Is that a trick question? Why test after implementation, when
changes can no longer be made?
I think there is a difference between
I may have overstated by point, I meant more difficult to make the
changes. I will say that it kinda depends what you mean by after
implementation. Keep in mind, there are popular delivery models
that don't allow for frequent updating of a product's design after
release, which can be synonymous
I'm not sure monetary or point rewards are going to be helpful here.
As I cautioned above, shifting the focus of your user from the task
to the reward may cause them to be less interested in (or have less
positive feelings about) the task. That is, causing the user to
refocus on rewards
Hi,
Yes, setting goals can certainly persuade people to complete a task.
Research in cognitive psychology suggests that a goal's influence on
motivation is affected by hitting the sweet spot on three primary
features: proximity, difficulty and specificity. In your example,
because goals are
That simulation does not even come close to accurately simulating
driving while texting. I don't want to admit how I know that.
Maybe if you were trying to send a text while competing in a NASCAR
event or something.
In the ET-texting-while-driving case, the data could be used to test
whether
with care,
I think ET can provide quite a bit of insight.

Welcome to the Interaction
together. The visual experience gave drivers the sensation of
speeding up. Drivers compensate by slowing down, and accident rates
have dropped.
You could use that example in your pitch.

In my experience, users are looking for the same general content
online as in print, but there are vastly different expectations in
terms of presentation. For the most part these expectations make
sense. Why would a publisher simply place their print materials
online? Was early TV just a video
Surely you have some suggestions, lets hear them. Here are a few off
the top of my head:
Competitive analysis, analytics, ask client for existing research
Find where users hang online and read what they are saying, search
twitter for references ...
Stakeholder interviews

Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
there, you might talk to management.
Sometimes getting a pair of people is also fun.
It is easier with mobile apps.
Having a camera-person (in public spaces) to make it more like a news interview
can help people 'get it'.

We had the same debate. While I personally think dark on light
non-white (specifically a light blue) is best, we once tested a
design with white on dark blue almost black. users did not have
trouble reading as long as the font was sufficiently large (we had
slight negative reaction to font less
@adrian: true. in our case it was not a performance issue. we were
concerned with people not being able to read or not liking to read,
and not so concerned with reading quickly. That is why I pointed out
that this was not done in the original posters' specific context.
Performance tests are a

Hi Shashank,
Sounds like an interesting topic. The way your phrase it now seems
rather broad, but if one of the aspects of change you are looking
at includes visual placement of menu items and icons etc, you might
look at the Psych lit in visual scene perception.
good luck and go jackets!
