What’s with corporatethinkers.com domain and name change?
Posted: Mar 21st, 2008 | No Comments
I have felt the site has outgrown its original purpose. That being said in order to support the purpose of providing excellent design ideas, sample ui’s, and web app projects I’ve changed the name. The new name will now be uidesignguide.com. The old domain will work and stay active...

Features In The Front Usability Get To The Back Almost daily I face this this challenge. In fact it is infuriating about how many times in the day a usability concern is locked into the backseat. New features almost always seem to win versus making a new product better simply by improving the usability of an application.

The idea for this design blog first came about two years ago at SXSW Interactive.
Currently UI Design guide is in its fourth redesign. This site takes quite a bit of time to maintain as well as write the content. Just like UI Design this site is a passion that keeps evolving.
Inside, I cover articles on many topics icluding: lessons, prototyping methods, agile UX methods, design reviews, design challenges, application features, and of course design experiences, just to name a few.
With all the blogs out there you may be asking yourself who are you to give advice? That's a fair question. If you have a moment feel free to read about my design history.
