I like to make programs and devices smarter and easier to use. I experiment with new, brilliant interface concepts. I'm a programmer, designer, web developer, and a nice guy.

I like to take pictures. I enjoy good humor in others and the simple things in life, like thunderstorms. Music is a great companion. I seek after anything of good report which makes life more fulfilling.

I believe choices make us who are, and are a major part of how we and others feel.

comment Navigation above site header?
You could fix it to the top of the screen so it's always at the top. The Google blog comes to mind, but there are other good examples of doing this. (BoxedIce is another one)

comment Is it ok to change the (US) address input field order in favor of a pre-fill feature?
Some zip codes span across city or state boundaries, leading to ambiguous or inaccurate auto-fills... just keep that mind!

comment Remember the State of a Page when navigating to other pages?
The cookie (or session, if using PHP) idea is a good one that I've used a few times. I save a custom SavedState or PageState object into the cookie or session (serialization) and, upon the user's return, un-serialize it. Sometimes it contains a series of commands or "steps" to manipulate the DOM, if necessary, upon page load. At least these objects contain any information for server and client to restore the state.

comment When is it appropriate to combine “help/support” with “contact us”?
Yes they are, good question. In our case, we actually have one product but two very different ways to access and use it. Consequently, the two deliver very unique value to the customer. The two are almost opposites except that they do the same thing at the core. We separated the "products" and "pricing" options because, for example, one is subscription and the other is one-time. Plus, we've found in our analytics that our users prefer a clear & transparent "Pricing" option.

You have a good point about the user's motivation to click. I bet if we kept Support and Contact separate, we could fill both unique pages with valuable, targeted content.
