I’m a UX designer at dotBlue. I love to build great experiences with rich interaction. Getting to know the user, their requirements and wishes and creating something that feels right to them. I love to do user research, IA, wireframing and rapid prototyping. I love user testing and continuously iterating a design to ever keep improving it. In one word: I love to create.
As a former developer I also love to get my hands dirty and play with brackets and semi-colons every now and then. The web is a fantastic area to work in, as it is constantly evolving. With the advent of HTML5 web applications are catching up with the speed and snappiness of desktop application, while being much quicker (and cheaper) to build, maintain and iterate. A UX designer's dream.

Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JohnGB, I have exactly the opposite experience :) I guess it also comes down to repetition and what you're familiar with. In any case, the mobile future is interesting. |

Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JohnGB, I agree that HTML5 apps don't get the same speed as native at the moment, but it's ever improving. On the other hand: web is native on platforms such as Tizen or BTG. I agree that if it's more complicated it costs more, but you can't just ignore the fact that having to do native apps for multiple platform at the same time increases costs enormously as well. Android and iOS are both very big platforms, and depending on your market you may want to add a third platform (and I don't expect the status quo to remain as it is today). |

Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JohnGB, I don't think it's a valid argument when you add "it's more about development issues" :) It's more complicated to do it right, that's correct. But it's not impossible. |

Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JohnGB: you are correct that FB abandoned the HTML5 app, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to re-create the same UX. Please see: vimeo.com/55486684 |

What is the validity of contrast and colours tests? Maybe I'm missing something, but white on white isn't really recognizable, is it? :) |

What is the validity of contrast and colours tests? Thank you very much for your thorough input, appreciated :) I just don't understand your last paragraph, do you meant the button at the bottom of the page (in the Contact session)? Or the one in the "We're hiring" widget? |

What is the validity of contrast and colours tests? Many thanks for this excellent answer. Especially with @MattObee's addendum this was exactly what I'm looking for. I would like to highlight this quote from the referenced rationale: "The contrast ratio of 4.5:1 was chosen for level AA because it compensated for the loss in contrast sensitivity usually experienced by users with vision loss equivalent to approximately 20/40 vision.". This makes the validity and importance of these tests very clear to me (and it explains why I found our website to be readable enough). |

What is the validity of contrast and colours tests? @JohnGB: thanks, I've changed the question. Now it only explains which specific test I used, let me know if it's still incorrect. |

How to handle to iOS visitors to a Flash web app? @jwenting, we are talking about the web! Of course you have to take every platform into account (well, for as far as it makes sense based on your audience). I know that "Write once, run everywhere" isn't like the actual world, but with this attitude towards cross-compatibility we won't ever get there. |

Help menu - “?” or “Help”? It depends on too many things: - the screen real-estate you have available - the location where you put this label - the language of your target audience - ... Please provide a more concrete example. |
