User Experience as witnessed by me.

Wire Framing for UI / UX

by admin

I have used many different wire framing applications over the years. I was never a huge fan of Visio, tried Balsamiq Mockups and even dabbled in using Adobe Illustrator to perform my duties.

I have found that OmniGraffle along with the myriad of stencils from GraffleTopia has proven to be the perfect tool for what I do on a daily basis.

Now that I can spend a majority of my time developing better experiences for clients on our platform (when I am not in meetings), I enjoy this robust tool that can facilitate the development of flow charts, wire frames and any other necessary high-level experiences necessary to communicate my message.

GraffleTopia includes jQuery Mobile elements as well as traditional flowchart, organizational and common desktop elements just to name a small few stencils.


jQuery Revisited

So I have finally been able to sink my teeth in. The Companies migration to a truly mobile environment has been painless for the most part. The company I work for does online classifieds and our clients truly want to be able to override everything using CSS since we develop an API the clients can wrap their own site template around and customize to look like their own site.

Using a standard system of CSS over ride principals (inline > embedded > linked) we allow our customers to not only do language translation but allow them to re-style our css attributes by writing their own and having it load after our style sheets (over-riding them).

The jQuery Mobile Library is much more robust than the traditional jQuery Libraries most of us are used to working with. There is the Landscape and Portrait rendering modes which pretty much determine all your widths. Practice how to build fluid layouts more than ever.


Oh jQuery

by admin

While converting our companies verticals to a Mobile version, I have found that the jQuery Mobile development Team has quickly been updating core elements faster than I have ever seen software updates. Not only does this mean that there is incredible demand for this software but I am sure incredible support that will come along with it.
