Web Design Practices

November 07, 2003

As a follow-up to yesterday's post on De Facto Web Standards, I ran across Web Design Practices (pop-up), a well-presented survey of the interface design practices of 79 prominent E-commerce sites. The site is run by Heidi Atkinson, the author of the study and article republished on Boxes and Arrows.

The site really brings the common standards and usage information to the surface. This is helpful in those discussions about what is really a "web standard" and refocus discussions on user needs.
