If you actually need to get somewhere, a hot air balloon is a fairly impractical vehicle. You can’t really steer it, and it only travels as fast as the wind blows. But if you simply want to enjoy the experience of flying there’s nothing quite like it. Many people describe flying in a hot air ballo on as one of the most serene, enjoyable activities they’ve ever experienced; it was awesome!

Now that is one heck of a comprehensive post. Thanks so much, there’s so much info here it’ll take me days to get through it all.
About 1 year ago, I’ll implemented a formal (had previously been informal) wireframing and planning stage to all my web projects and it’s had a measurable positive effect on the progress of my web projects. I can’t overstate how important it is for ALL developers and designers to do even a minimal planning stage for all their projects.
Nice article. I was actually a part of our company’s website redesign and the usability research and testing we did had very interesting results. You never really know what individuals will find confusing, or are more prone to click on until you do the testing. With that it’s a good point to find the “wrong” people to test your layouts.
The majority of the individuals who will be viewing a website are the “wrong” types in the sense that they are not designers, but they’re who the user experience is for, so catering the experience to them is a must. Nice article!
Far from being useless, Boris, I think this article provides a really interesting perspective on usability testing
I especially like the somewhat unorthodox “what if” suggestions, and the point that the “hard way” may actually have some perceived advantage for the user. Perhaps the same old usability guidelines, reiterated over and over, actually limit our thinking – and limited thinking is a main cause of bad usability!
