Hi,
I'm remodeling my kitchen and buying new appliances. While researching my decisions, I visited your site to see how your refrigerators compared to other manufactures. One of the most important factors in my decision is the amount of energy the product uses -- but I couldn't find this information listed on your site anywhere. Am I not looking in the right place?

Eric,
I think you may be misunderstanding my query. I'm interested in buying a new refrigerator. One of my key decision-making points is the energy rating of the product. I'd like to be able to see the rating of all of your models on their respective product description pages.

Jennifer,
Right. I realize that. That's why I mentioned it. It's a pretty crucial decision-making point for a lot of people (including me).
You should consider having your Web team add it to the standard product page.

But! Not all users have the same goals.
Shapes! Colors!

Successful design comes from two approaches...
Top-down
•Figure out what users need
•Derive mental models
•Focus on user research
Bottom-up
•Figure out what you have
•Develop content model
•Domain of traditional IA
![Page 34: Are You Experienced? Seeing the Digital World Through Users' Eyes Jeffrey Veen Partner, Adaptive Path](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b5252a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Top down: Understanding your users
• User research may be a science, but formality isn’t required.
• Ethnographic research methods sound impressively scary, but
we all do it every day.
• Research is a way of life, not a special project you schedule
and do.
![Page 35: Are You Experienced? Seeing the Digital World Through Users' Eyes Jeffrey Veen Partner, Adaptive Path](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b5252a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
User Profiles, Personas, Scenarios
• Studies and stories of fictional
members of audience segments
• Humanizes rigid task-based
interaction
• Sells user centered design
throughout the organization
• Depersonalizes product development
debates
![Page 36: Are You Experienced? Seeing the Digital World Through Users' Eyes Jeffrey Veen Partner, Adaptive Path](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b5252a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ethnographic Interviews, Task Analysis
• Engaging potential users in
discussion of how they accomplish
tasks in the real world.
• Interview transcripts are
deconstructed into specific tasks
that map to potential features
• Provides assurance of feature
selection and nomenclature
• Provides an opportunity for
innovation
![Page 37: Are You Experienced? Seeing the Digital World Through Users' Eyes Jeffrey Veen Partner, Adaptive Path](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b5252a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Usability Testing
• Validation of feature
decisions and
implementation choices.
• “Measures” not only ability
to complete tasks, but user
expectations as well
• No longer the domain of the
“lab coat and stopwatch”
crowd
![Page 38: Are You Experienced? Seeing the Digital World Through Users' Eyes Jeffrey Veen Partner, Adaptive Path](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b5252a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Finding Users
• For a simple test, find 3-4 people similar to your site’s audience– Friends, family, coworkers from other departments
• Determine target audience• demographic/webographic/psychographic
• Seek them out• Existing user base, customer support inquiries,
advertise on existing site• User groups, email discussion lists• Traditional means: classified ads, etc.• Use a recruiter: Charge per user based on how
specialized your population needs to be

Lessons Learned
• Plug-ins and Flash are two-edged swords– Interactive features are desirable when seamless– Most of our instructions are meaningless jargon
• Users do not read a lot on screen, regardless of the quality of
the writing– People scan pages looking for the next valuable link.– They gravitate to different areas of the page for different tasks
• Keep it simple– Many, many expectations are brought from the external Web– Pop-up windows are instantly closed unless initiated– Underlined words are always links

Bottom Up: Designing with patterns
![Page 43: Are You Experienced? Seeing the Digital World Through Users' Eyes Jeffrey Veen Partner, Adaptive Path](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b5252a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Abstract solutions to common problems in context
![Page 44: Are You Experienced? Seeing the Digital World Through Users' Eyes Jeffrey Veen Partner, Adaptive Path](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b5252a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Patterns are applicable not only to architecture, but all
kinds of design: computer science, corporate organization,
traffic signage and (of course) Web design
