Web Design Questions from Webdesigndepot
Going Deeper
Restricting the contact page to contact information isn???t as simple as it sounds. Like many design goals, this one begins with questions. The key is to think like both a website owner and a user.
Incentives |
|
| Website owner | End user |
|---|---|
| What encourages people to contact us, sign up or otherwise act? | What do I need to ask them? What???s in it for me? |
| What prevents people from contacting us or taking action? | How do I know this will be worth my time and effort? |
| How can we encourage messages or sign-ups? | What are the benefits of this product? |
| What prevents people from acting? | (Case by case.) |
Data collection |
|
| Website owner | End user |
| What information do we want people to provide? | What information am I comfortable sending? |
| What will we do with the information? | How do I know I won???t get spammed? |
| How will we process the information? | How soon can I expect a reply? |
Contact methods |
|
| Website owner | End user |
| How do we want them to take action? | What???s the easiest way to act? |
| What haven???t we thought of? | What are my other options? |
| How can we speed up the process? | How long will this process take? |

Zach in 3-D
Day 75: Wrapping 2010
Today was the last day of school until January, so things will be quiet for a few weeks. We will resume posting when classes start back up.
Day 74: Pink Bunny
Strong south winds brought warm weather to Austin this morning. Zoe brought a bunny to school. (Daddy is an avant guard poet)
Day 73: Tinted Windows
She is in there, somewhere, bundled up and excited to be going on a field trip to the Zach.
Day 72: Never Let Them See You Cry
Zoe had a meltdown this morning, starting when I told her we were not taking the bike to school, but got it back together before we got to school.
