The Redesign, Dissolved — Dorian Taylor
▻http://doriantaylor.com/the-redesign-dissolved

What I’m trying to change is the all-or-nothing nature of the typical website redesign contract. With this scaffolding, you can deliver incremental results to your clients into production, so their business goals—and your payday—aren’t waiting on some far-off launch date. What’s more is that you don’t have to know or care one jot about the morass that is whatever platform—or platforms—your client currently has in use.

Dorian Taylor:

The goals of UX are divergent from those of marketing to the point of being antithetical. The methods are different. The culture is different. But the outcome, and therefore the value, is the same.

Content Management : A Case Study (Of Sorts) — Dorian Taylor
►http://doriantaylor.com/content-management-a-case-study-of-sorts

if you’re gonna make a Web in­ter­face for ma­nip­u­lat­ing data of some kind, why not make it op­er­ate over some struc­ture for which there isn’t al­ready an ex­traor­di­nar­i­ly ma­ture desk­top tool that does ex­act­ly the same job?

If you’re going to make a Web-based in­ter­face for a task like en­ter­ing text, con­sid­er it re­me­di­al. I don’t care how snazzy HTML5 is. Who­ev­er uses that func­tion­al­i­ty is al­most cer­tain­ly try­ing to do their job on their phone from down at the bar or some­thing. And, if you in­sist on mak­ing one, for good­ness sake fix the back but­ton. I once saw a guy put his fist through a wall after clip­ping that and los­ing the mag­num opus he had spent the pre­vi­ous hour naïvely hunt­ing-and-peck­ing into his brows­er.
