Best UX Quotes2
On Web Usability
The computer industry has been able to ship
difficult-to-use products because you buy
first, and then you try to use it. With the Web,
usability comes first, then you click to buy or
become a return visitor.
Jakob Nielsen
Best UX Quotes3
Is Your Website Still Not Cross
Browser?
Anyone who slaps a ‘this page is best viewed
with Browser X’ label on a Web page appears
to be yearning for the bad old days, before the
Web, when you had very little chance of
reading a document written on another
computer, another word processor, or another
network.
Tim Berners-Lee

On Web Analytics And
Understanding Users
Remember, a website is not a monolith that’s
used by one type of people, it does not exist
only for one reason. Your job is to figure out
what are all of the reasons that it exists for
and find the best source to measure it.

You can blame the ‘stupid user’ all you want,

expensive tech-support people if you want to
sell or distribute within your company software
that hasn’t been designed.
Alan Cooper

you?

Best UX Quotes13
Trade Off Between Capability And
Usability
There’s a trade off between capability
and usability. This is, as far as I know, no
one has figured out how to achieve
maximum capability and maximum
usability in the same device. There’s a
trade off. In prospect, capability seems
way more important than usability. In
practice, the reverse is true.

technology.

Best UX Quotes21
On All The Bad Design Out There
The public is more familiar with bad design
than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned
to prefer bad design, because that is what it
lives with. The new becomes threatening, the
old reassuring.
Paul Rand
