		<description><![CDATA[Are you designing a rule builder? It seems like I&#8217;m asked to design one or two of these every year. I&#8217;m often called into my client&#8217;s offices to look at a product with a rule builder much like this one: Ugh. Good luck making any sense of that. I take screens like this one and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This topic comes up a lot in conversations with our clients and other designers: users don&#8217;t like it when you change their software. What do we do about it? The very talented Jared Spool likes to tell a story about how much users hate change. He asks us to begin by imagining our kitchen and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The closest analogy I&#8217;ve been able to come up with is &#8220;A builder is to an architect&#8221;. But when I use this analogy I get some push back. &#8220;Wait a minute,&#8221; they say, &#8220;a builder can create a house without an architect.&#8221; It&#8217;s true &#8211; many builders do build houses without architects. A lot of them work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I downloaded the new versions of iWork on my iPhone and iPad and went through the Getting Started guides. On the whole I&#8217;m very impressed with Apple&#8217;s UI design work on these applications and with how much I can do on a computer that fits in my pocket. However, I have to say that I [...]]]></description>

I want to dive in a little bit on Dashboards that allow the [...]]]></description>

These are typically B2B applications, SaaS applications, intranet applications &#8211; not necessarily public, consumer-type applications but rather enterprise applications. Five years ago we regularly delivered our designs as HTML and CSS files to our clients. The engineering team would, in turn, incorporate [...]]]></description>
