Thanks for the tip. You like the idea or only the design? :)

Oh my, silly me. Should be fixed now, and thanks a lot for the catch.

There is no way, and I don't think Dribbble is an OAuth source. Thanks for the suggestion though, I will look into that and maybe ping Dan C. to see if it's possible.

When I came to work in th US I was actually totally surprised that americans work so many hours less. In northern Italy it's unthinkable to go he at 5PM.

One of the topics I cover the most there is the difference between startups and agencies/freelancing. While startups tend to look at results (the ones that survive), agencies tend to look at the customer, at least most of them. I actually b

Hi, there are no Amazon Associate links: the only one Amazon Associate link I can think about is with Flanagan's book, and Mr. Flanagan is the associate, not me. I just thought removing it wouldn't have been polite. When I could link the bo

I leave out visual design because lots of startups that meet every goal you can eventually imagine (ginzametrics, bingocardcreator) don't even go close at having a decent visual design (no offence intended). I believe visuals are also a ver

Should be critical, yes. But if you know the market, you know that things like usability or ux are used 90% of times as buzzwords from sellers. I'm afraid I can't disclose some of my experiences with top design agencies in both the US and I

I guess you mean conversion and not conversation. A/B testing is part of every sane design process, there's no "divination", only iteration. Knowing the process of design would definitely help here.

by stylejam 15y ago
I don't really understand your answer - conversion should be point 1 for every design, call it graphic, call it web, call it interaction, but you suggest it's some kind of "pro" service. In my opinion it's not, a design that doesn't convert

What I'm pointing out is that "what you want" or "your spec" is wrong. What you can and should ask to a designer is: here is my homepage, I want people to understand this and then signup. What happens now is that customers ask for a website

by stylejam 15y ago
Good enough in web design is a website that is kind of clear and kind of converts. If it's ok for the customer it's ok for me, but considering that I hardly believe it's ok for the customer here we have a big problem. And there's no such th

Customization can actually be an important part of a business model. The problem is how to behave when it's not part of it, and here I agree with the author, the customer is asking for "something else". I've been in a startup that used to s
