20m · Published 09 Oct 06:05

In the design world, there’s always been an assumption that some users demonstrate “search-dominant” tendencies by going right to the search engine when they first visit a web site looking for content. But back in 2000, UIE made a groundbreaking claim that blew away the web design world. From our research, we concluded that users aren’t Search dominant. How does this effect your design choices?

29m · Published 01 Oct 15:48

In usability tests where we incorporate interview-based tasks, the participants interests are discovered, not assigned.

There are many situations where this is the appropriate way to test a product.
