comment Do people actually use tooltips?
Tooltips are a great way to layer in info in a web interface, but don't rely on them too heavily. When you move to mobile you'll have to come up with another way of explaining all those pretty icons -- probably with a chunk of text alongside the icon.

comment What is the current pixel width standard for a website's content area?
Yup, the Nielsen article sums it up -- the new average resolution is 1366×768. We're looking at redoing an admin interface in a wider 1200px container. That should be fine for most users, but I'm concerned that it also work for users on laptops and tablets.

comment Is a sitemap always needed when designing a microsite?
I always include a sitemap, or a flow, for multi-screen projects. It seems like overkill, but you'd be surprised how often it forestalls objections from stakeholders or developers.

comment Should “Customer Service” be considered a function of user experience?
I use our customer support group as a resource. Most customer support groups will maintain a list of top customer issues. And many of the CS people have thought of potential fixes for those issues. So, it's well worth it to check in with your CS staff on a regular basis.

comment Why should we ask the password twice during registration?
Another thing about double-entry is that it helps the user remember newly created passwords.

comment What's the best position for the global navigation of an application within an intranet site that has its own global navigation?
Re: duplicate home buttons -- consider a different label for the app home link like "Application Start" or "Step 1". Where Home links are used they are usually global to the site. Visually setting your application apart from its container will help too.

comment Forgot Password Alternatives?
We don't ask for security questions, or alternate email addresses. Phone numbers are optional. Fortunately, the customer service reps can reset user's passwords.

Good point, maybe we'll eliminate that error message.
