Web-app notes

• Buttons have verbs (save, delete, don't save, etc.) instead of 'ok' 'cancel', etc.

• Some iconography but not too much (only at certain level of menus/operations)

• For destructive operations prefer an undo link in preference to a confirmation window

• Few concepts (nouns, verbs, adjectives). Common ones are "free".

• Staggered loading. Ouside (layout) -> inside (data)

• Frameworks preserve back/bookmark, etc. features

• Hierarchy of page should be represntative of behaviour

• If there is a list on the page include placeholder text when the list is empty

• Solve a real problem/need

• Build a community, then make something valuable for them

Annoyances

• Don't have thumbnails link to images if the images are the same size
• If an element responds to mouseover it must respond to click (links within spans but span is not clickable)
• Clickable elements which move (e.g. because some other content has loaded). Delay?
• Elements which move things (other elements or themselves) when moused-over
