I take it that you are probably tired of reading or listening about new years resolutions, right? Let’s face it, we are bombarded with them and any advice on how to keep them from middle of December at least.
Well, I will have to add my share to that asking what is your new years (usability) resolution? What do you want to do to improve your projects and the way you design them?
Mine is very simple, to write more concise copy and to learn to communicate through the medium of the web more successfully. In order to do that I will have to study writing techniques a bit more and also test my writing all the time but that’s OK.
What do you think you could improve or pay more attention to this year? Do you know what usability errors you are most guilty of? Would you be able to make a list of them? If so, pick one, or a few and try to work on them. Fair chance is that the ones you will choose will be the biggest ones. And yes, they will also be the toughest to tackle but at the same time once you learn to avoid them your projects will get million times better.
So, what’s your new years (usability) resolution?
