Don’t forget about the user experience
Complementing UX we have content strategy. Creating
great content is another step to a successful site. Poor
content has a negative effect on the user. If they are not
getting what they want, they go elsewhere. Find out the
must-know rules to help you and your client create a
world-class strategy. Give yourself a competitive edge.
Heading to the developer side, it is APIs that are the
focus this issue (page 72). They are everywhere. Think of
an online company and we guarantee that they have an
API you can use to power up your projects. We choose
25 must-haves and give you the lowdown on how and
why to use them.
In addition to all that, we bring you the usual top
tutorials. As always, enjoy the issue.
X – it’s only two letters but covers a
myriad of areas that cannot be
ignored if you want your site to be a
roaring success.
It could be argued that UX is just
common sense, but there is so much
more to user experience. This issue we
employ the talents of UX expert Chris
Cherrett to guide you through the process of
creating a great web experience. He’s tells why its
important, the difference between UX and
usability, identifies the best research methods,
best practices, why wireframes are important
and the best tools to test and prototype with.
As users of the
web, we’re keenly
aware what makes
a website or mobile
app easy to use and
understand (or,
what makes one
difficult)
