by Naomi Niles

While trying not to sound overly enthusiastic (which I am!!), I’d like to announce the new Keuka College website redesign. We are proud to have worked on this project along with Pete Bekisz and the Keuka College team.

Apparently I made a fatal blogger mistake in my last post. I asked some questions, but I didn’t answer them. I was hoping to provoke some thoughtful discussion, but apparently asking questions and then not giving answers can annoy people a little. Right, I’ll remember that next time!

Motivation, Stickiness, and Websites

by Naomi Niles

I came across this   video through Twitter on Monday. I don’t remember now who tweeted it,  but thank you whoever it was!  It was done by Cognitive Media for a Dan Pink   talk at RSA in London.

If you’ve been involved in making websites for several years, like I have, I’m sure you know about many of the best practices involved. In fact, it’s usually easy to pick out websites that were done by amateurs because of obvious violations of said best practices.

Balsamiq Mockups Review

by Naomi Niles

A few weeks ago… Er, more than a few weeks ago, I posted a blog post on why designers should use wireframes. I have always used Photoshop to do more formal wireframes for client sites, but wanted to give Balsamiq a try since I first heard about it. They were gracious enough to give me a copy to review. By the way, they are incredibly friendly and fast responding.
