Thought for the day
September 18th, 2007
My thought for the day is this:
Everyone should keep usability in mind while performing their job. While creating something (especially like a website), some aspects end up being unrelated—graphic design to programmers, implementation details to designers, etc—however usability should be an part of every aspect of the creation process. There are an unending number of uses to design for, the least we can do is succeed for one or two.

Well said. It’s too often left up to one cog in the machine to deal with usability issues; and when that’s the case, one spends most of one’s time trying to impose standards on the non-standards compliant work of others in the team.
However, when the team works with a set of pre-defined standards, then the whole process — and indeed the outcome — is that much more…usable.
