Apparently the best in web design…

One of my subscriptions is to TechRepublic... [url=http://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/the-best-web-designs-of-2013/][b][u]Here[/u][/b][/url] one of their number offers his take on the best designed pages of 2013. On a personal note, the comments section is very interesting.

Interesting design on Vivaldi - the link in your post is so well hidden ("highlighted" in dark grey) that I did not see it at first.
And the comments at the site were, indeed, very interesting. The world has too many «web designers» and too few competent user interface engineers. That, by the way, is Jon's area of expertise, so I hope he will be doing some hands-on supervision.
-
Quite right.
A number of years ago one of our developers decided to give me a preview of his new interface.
From a development perspective it was good but from a use perspective it needed considerable improvement.
He did learn from that. Every time after he had everyday users evaluate new interfaces and took their advice. -
Sounds like our country's "insurance sign-up" debacle, in that sense. They were saying how good the website was until it actually went online …

Apparently they decided to keep external testing out of the contract to save money…
It also seems to be designed in order to prevent as many as possible from getting registered. This is, after all, about getting a quote for a service people are going to pay for. Still, the "designers" have gone out of their way to verify and double check the identity of any potential customers much more rigidly than any credit card or "quick loan" company.
As a case study, it will probably be used in the future to show how not to design user registration. One of the fundamentals is not to ask for more information than you actually need. I do not know how many times I have quit a user signup because they asked for more information than was needed for the purpose.

Custom CSS kick ass :silly:

Here one of their number offers his take on the best designed pages of 2013.
I wonder what I have to switch on to use that site:
No content blocker active, cookies allowed - but no 3rd party, Javascript allowed, Referrer allowed, no plugins.OK, they want me to switch the browser - fine - I did that and looked at the examples of "best web design".
Sorry, they are not.
I am disappointed.
Mostly meaningless pages with not enough content to be of any interest.Several of them are purely experimental and exclude me even if I use the latest top notch Chromium build of today, or Firefox or whatever.
Oh, I shall set experimental flags?
Are they nuts?!
I will not do anything that might make my browser instable.(OK, OK. I did it, but I will not recommend it to the casual browser user for sure - and I am still not impressed)
Conclusion:
The best on that techrepublic page is the 2 parts comment of wizarddrummer … -
Same conclusions here…

I have to agree. Web design seems more about eye candy and flash than a usable site.
I have to start using the phone again explaining that I can no longer find what used to be one click away to do my business. I am told in their "New and Improved Site" I must go to this menu item then pick that an now go to… -

That reminds me of the time when SUN hired the Norman/Nielsen Group to improve their website - after they were finished, you could reach each of the more than 200k single pages with less than 6 clicks, on average not more than 4, despite there were hardly more than 8 to 10 navigation items on each page - and if you still did not find what you were looking for, there was a clearly visible site search that gave decent results, not the usual stuff you get from most site searches.
IMHO it was a near perfect solution.
Sadly it went all downhill again when someone else thought the site was not "fancy" enough and redesigned it some years later.
-
That sounds like a perfect example.
A most unfortunate trend. -
"is link colour a parameter which is adjustable within FireFox's about:config"
not that I can see, but I'm not a FF user. (Something about 'layout.css.visited_links_enabled', but that is all I see.)
"MANY web pages still are FAR TOO TALL."
Absolutely, but I guess it is always a compromise. With a widescreen laptop and desktop monitor I see it all the time.
"I HAVE considered doing some custom CSS to change the link attributes here"
Me too. But I am not familiar with css… some HTML, but that's it.

… one of the first things I made when I arrived here was this:
https://vivaldi.net/blogs/entry/just-another-usercss-for-this-siteMay be it is a starting point for your own CSS experiments.
Made for Opera <15 to be used as site specific CSS - but may be with some extension or so it is of use for Fx and Ch users too.

Many Thanks QuHno.
Will start my learning experience with it.
:cheer:

With this Extension it should also work in Opium: User CSS

@shood1943:
There are no links to these websites so we can see them for ourselves.
Links to all the sites were in the article linked in the first post.
For convenience here is the original TechRepublic article.
