Welcome to UX Digest – the best user experience tips, tricks and resources from across the web! This site was built with the intention of creating a one-stop-shop for UX best practices – a reference guide for web designers, developers and producers alike.
For starters, we are following great UX gurus like UX Booth, Usability Post
, UXmatters plus a wealth of other creative jedis that know a thing or two about delivering great experiences on the web. As they fill the clouds with their infinite fountains of wisdom, we extract the underlying rules, lessons and insights and bring them straight to you. No filler, no fat – just the meat of it all. If you want to uncover more, click the source link at the bottom of each post to get it straight from the experts themselves.
This site strives on learning and spreading information.
So whenever you come across a UX goodie, think of us Fallen Angel buy . We offer hugs and a better web for everyone in return.
I really like what you did with the sidebar. Fades away when you don’t need it; comes into focus when you do. Haven’t seen this anywhere else — very clever.
Thanks Dmitry! When designing the sidebar, I felt like it was taking too much attention away from the body. Fading it out allowed me to set priority for the information on the page. The fade-in lets it regain focus only when necessary.
I’m looking forward to more of these useful and nicely short articles.
However, I’ll be sticking to my feed reader in the future unless there’s a higher-contrast alternative. Have you considered making the text color in your posts a little darker for better contrast? Grey on lighter grey is hard on my eyes.
Glad to have you on board Jessi! And thanks for the suggestion – we’ve darkened the colour of the text to hopefully provide better contrast and less strain on your eyes!
This is the problem with designing on a high contrast monitor!
