Design basics

Web design

Usability

  • Usability First - We want to provide valuable information about usability for anyone interested in the design of software or websites, from beginners to experts, in academia or in industry.

Jakob Nielsen's Current Issues in Web Usability articles

  • Accessites.org - We aim to prove that accessible, usable web sites built with universality and standards in mind need not be boring. We will show you artfully crafted sites made by some of today’s most progressive web developers.

User Experience

  • UX for the masses - These articles are written by Neil Turner - A UK based UX designer. I like to share, discuss and comment on UX ideas, tips, insights and practices that everyone can use to help design a better user experience for all.

Information Architecture

See also ontology in general.

  • Information Architecture - The importance of having a well-structured website comes from how information and data is related to each other. The thorough planning and gathering of ideas to form a structured and meaningful arrangement of this data is Information Architecture.
  • So what’s an Information Architect?
    • study of information structure for a defined purpose
    • define the architecture of content relative to database construction and user-interaction
    • organize and qualify the appropriate use of metadata schemas, controlled vocabularies, folksonomies, ontologies etc.
    • articulate and produce meaningful information visualizations
    • help to structure information for easy digestion in digital applications

Specifics

  • UX Myths collects the most frequent user experience misconceptions and explains why they don't hold true. And you don't have to take our word for it, we'll show you a lot of research findings and articles by design and usability gurus.

Sitemaps

  • Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.
