Feel free to provide auxiliary documentation explaining in detail what complex stuff is happening for the curious... but don't force users to wade through it just to use your UI. Keep the UI simple... You'd be amazed how many users could care less how something is made, they just want it to work. I consider it a success on my part if a UI appears simple and loads super fast... They shouldn't have to care about the complexities of code, databases, frameworks, algorithms, etc. | |

Otherwise, apply the KISS principle and keep the Mar-Comm from tainting the simplicity. Read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_communications | |
