Uno dei temi ricorrenti di questi giorni viene approfondito in un articolo dal titolo “Designing User Interfaces For Business Web Applications”.

L’articolo ci illustra alcune nozioni base per evitare che la nostra applicazione lasci l’utente frustrato ed insoddisfatto; i capitoli sono:

• Websites vs. Web Applications
• First, Know Your Users
• Design Process
• Design Principles
• Essential Components Of Web Applications
• Don’t Forget UI Design Patterns
• Case Study
• Final Thoughts

In breve, dai Final Thoughts:

“Designing user interfaces for business Web applications is a challenging job that is full of compromises. You have to make compromises between client and user needs; business requirements and users; novice and expert users; functionality and simplicity. It requires a solid understanding of users and their tasks, as well as of UI design principles and patterns. Despite the difficulties, the job is interesting, and you learn many new things on each project that influence the way you design websites”.
