Re: [ia-55] Beginner Needs Advice - Given that you have a psychology background you should be more comfortable with the Usability portion of UX than someone coming from a graphic design background.  That's a good advantage to leverage because data is the meat of your conversations Bernard Chen Oct 28, 2009 10:04 PM

Re: [ia-55] So what is it that you do? - I use a variation on this theme -- you wouldn't build a building without figuring out where the doors, rooms and hallways are, so why build a website without thinking about sections, forms, media etc. But from now on I'm going to go with Jo Chris Oct 20, 2009 4:34 PM
Re: [ia-55] So what is it that you do? - I had to explain to my mom what I did for a living once and here's what I told her. I said essentially when you build or remodel a structure (whether an office building, a house, or a community center, or a store), you can't just go and build it. Ha Phan Oct 20, 2009 3:56 PM
Re: [ia-55] So what is it that you do? - I do a similar thing. I ask them: "Have you ever gone to a website that completely confused you?" Most people say, "Yes."

Re: [ia-55] Social Network within retail site - login, registration, and profile management - I also agree that you guys should implement a SSO (Single Sign On) method handled in the back-end, so that there is no need for 2 accounts otherwise it will fail.
