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 for quite some time so don’t worry too much. I plan on switching this over to the primary domain later next week. You may be wondering what this allows me to do?

This allows me to focus on many, many, more issues. I have several posts coming after the redesign is complete. The first post will be #1 in my series on creation of a web application from concept to delivery and beyond. It should be a fun project as you follow along with the design process. I have several other articles I’m working on in addition to these. So hang tight with me a bit while I get all organized and up to speed now that I’m back from SXSW.

Yes I know I’m a day behind, but to truly get the best perspective out I needed time to reflect. Day 3 was interesting.

To start of with was the change with time. Move one hour ahead and what watch what happens to those unfortunante souls that stayed up late. They missed out on a tremendous panel. Speaking from last year. Jason Santa Maria & Wychert (sorry can’t find his first name right now). The panel topic was “Everyone is a Design Critic.”

The day started with a glimpse into accessibility. The class was really basic and there were only 1 or 2 things that I picked up overall. I think what we wanted to here more about was guidelines and instead we found out more about the people and the issues they face. THere is nothing wrong with this except for the fact we really wanted to hear more about the guidelines. It was helpfull though to hear the screen reader in process and that is where the most information was gained. I left half way through this one as it wasn’t really hitting on the things I was hoping to hear. Panels are great but they can only answer some questions. At some point you have to just move on into the next one to get as much information as possible.

Slept terrible last night so going to grab the starbucks. Today is the first full day. There are ton of events going on and as usual so many at the same time. The schedule online at sxsw.com is really hard to use. I came across this site that manages the SXSW schedule in a unique and highly usefull manner. If I only had a printer. The first session I plan on trying to attend half / and half of the accessibility and Design is in the details. There are 2 other panels I would like to attend at 10:00 but I don’t see that happening.

There were only a few book discussions today. The first one really touched on some principles regarding social reputation and managing social reps online. Since these were simply book discussions the conversation never really answerd any questions. It’s kind of like you have to buy the book to get the information.
