In the old days, many developers looked at complex websites and web applications as a series of individual pages. These days, it’s all about abstracting these pages down to re-usable elements, modules and components which are then documented, designed and built as comprehensive pattern libraries. Pattern libraries can be used as an integral part of the UX, design and front-end development phases. But where should accessibility be included in these different types of pattern libraries? Come on a journey as we explore the pain and glory of baking accessibility into UX, design and front-end pattern libraries.

Principles of Health Informatics: Usability of medical softwareMartin Chapman
Principles of Health Informatics: Usability of medical software. Last delivered in 2023. All educational material listed or linked to on these pages in relation to King's College London may be provided for reference only, and therefore does not necessarily reflect the current course content.
This paper describes reusable components that can be
used by developers to implement applications for
visually handicapped users. The non visual
components are widgets adapted from graphical ones
and they use specific input/output devices and specific
interaction principles. They are implemented as
components to facilitate the component based
development of non visual applications. The
contribution of this work in the field of assistive
technology is valuable, because there are no existing
tools that facilitate the creation of interfaces for the
blind users, and it may considerably improve computer
access for this category of users.
Software Usability Implications in Requirements and DesignNatalia Juristo
There are so many software products and systems with immature usability that it is for sure that most people have enough frustrating experiences to acknowledge the low level of use that usability strategies, models and methods have in software construction.
However, usability is not at all an extra but a basic for a software system: people productivity and comfort is directly related to the usability of the software they use (in their work or at home) and several quality attribute classifications agree on the importance of considering usability as a quality attribute the seminar will discuss and debunk three myths that stand in the way of the proper incorporation of usability features into software systems. These myths are:
• usability problems can be fixed in the later development stages.
• usability has implications only for the non-functional requirements.
• the general statement of a usability feature (“The system must incorporate the undo feature”) is a sufficient specification.
A pattern-oriented solution that support developers in incorporating usability features into their requirements and designs is presented

Definition – Fast Prototyping
Fast or rapid prototyping is a methodical exploration of innovative concept(s) by quick assembly
of pieces either tangible or intangible to validate assumptions which are important to
implement the concept. The outline of this concept is described in article “Intuit Inc. Project
AgriNova” published in HBR by Thomas Eisenmann and Tanya Bijlani. Quickly identifying &
rapidly developing solutions for part of the system which could be potential road blocks is key
to ensure success of the product. This does not need complete development of all (or some)
parts
Problem Statement
Our organization is specialized Business Analytics and Data Management expertise. Among
other things, one of the requests often made by our customer is to give guidance on suitability
of tool (or set of tools) for a particular task. Even though this knowledge is available within our
organization, it is dispersed as the consultants are working with different customer.
We set out to address the issue of
- timely availability of comparison metrics across tools
- continuous update to the metrics being used to compared
After discussing with our executives we decided to build a web based application internally so
that we can feed in the comparison data on continuous basis without spending too much time
on reconciliation efforts.
There were few challenges to be resolved while addressing the issues given in problem
statement. We conducted a brainstorming session within our organization. The outcome of this
session was a list of important components outline of which is as follows:
- User Interface: The UI should be easy to use and intuitive enough to hide the complexity
underneath. Unless the tool is easy to use people will be reluctant to use it.
- Data Update: The data should be fed in on continuous basis to ensure updates for the
tools to be compared are captured on regular basis. If the data is stale it will raise the
credibility issue of the presented comparison. We cannot compare data of outdated
version of the tools.
- Contextual Text Mapping: The biggest issue is contextual mapping of text which
describes a particular feature of tool, product or application.
Of course this list is not comprehensive, but we need to address these points to ensure viability
of the entire efforts.
I think using “Fast Prototyping” to validate the feasibility of the components is best course of
action before attempting to build this product.
Leap of Faith
Can we build & expand? As the data volume increase the methods employed, especially the
algorithm employed will perform satisfactorily? We decided to find this out.
Can we win? We did not spend great amount of time with user experience. We took a leap of
faith by assuming that the team who participated in building UX is representative of future
users. I think we should be able to tweak UI based on usage analytics and.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
