David Russell's IMC session

UI, IxD, UX… Form and Funtion.

Rules to live by:

1. Simple is supreme.

2. Consider conventions.

3. Size elements appropriately.

4. Create memorable experiences.

5. Don’t make assumptions.

6. Test. Test. Test.

Start with a prototype. Avoid splash pages. Keep good stuff above the fold. Use includes to maintain consistency. Link home on every page. Keep main navigation simple. Create a good 404 error page. Make contact infortmaion easy to find and use. Create clean URLs.
