Awhile back one of our clients asked us to review and audit their checkout process. While I agree with the writer’s sentiment at the end that forms can be dull design work, it was still a fun and interesting process to go through and provide some possible solutions for the future.
This article would have been perfect timing back then as support, but I suspect that it will come in handy in the future, as well.

With all of us focused on our work and striving to making the best interfaces, I found this post by Cooper’s Golden Krishna refreshing. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in making this amazing digital experience and even be wowed by some of the ideas, that we fail (or I fail) to step back and say “wait…why do we need this? And does this really make our lives easier?”. It’s not just about slapping an interace on it (like us Portlanders like to birds on things) and Krishna provides some really great examples in this article.
As a bonus, if you’ll be in the San Francisco care on September 19th, Cooper is holding a round table to discuss this. So you should go.

I know what you might be thinking. This is a post about which Portland mayoral candidate I think might/should win this November. It’s not. I am by no means a political consultant. I don’t follow polls. And furthermore, I never like to talk politics (with strangers at least).
But what I do like to talk about is user experience design. And inspired by this recent article on the mobile differences between our two presidential candidates, I decided to take it local and conduct a quick usability audit on the sites of Portland’s mayoral candidates, Charlie Hales and Jefferson Smith.

“We used to graduate two or three women CS majors per year, around 10%–12% of the total. Then one of our faculty members, Christine Alvarado, looked around and said, “Let’s do something about this.”
