Quick tip: Use fewer links

SEO folks, come at me. The overall product card has gotten cluttered with too many calls to action. It’s killing the point of the interface.

Ecommerce sites have a mind-boggling amount of links. Especially if you are a large company selling diverse things. Just to get to the product list, we first navigate through a mega menu. We do this to choose a category on most eCom sites. Then on the category page, we have to deal with a bunch of filters. If we’re lucky they will be in accordions and we can close them to skip.

A11y 101: 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide

It was Christmas Day in 2012 that I had my first major incident. You see, for as long as I could remember I suffered from migraines. I recall having to takes days off school when I was a freshman. But they started before that. At this moment in time, I was getting 20+ migraines a month. I had migraines that would last days. I had some last hours. Those were the worst. I’d start to feel better to only have another come on before the end of the day. Along with the migraines would come anxiety, nausea, dizziness, brain fog, aphasia. But that day was different.

A11y 101: 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable

You know the feeling. You’ve just spent the last twenty minutes filling out a form on a website. Suddenly, it asks for a specific piece of information. You need to dig for this information. You spend the next 7 minutes digging in your desk, files, computer, until you find it. Flip back to your form, and you are logged out.

If you are lucky, the form will allow you sign back in and continue from there. There’s a good chance you may need to start over. For you it is frustrating and takes time. But what if you can’t complete the form in the time given? Maybe it’s because you can’t answer the questions quickly enough.

Independence Day, or is it?

Ok, the title is clickbait, but what isn’t these days.

Today Americans from the United States of America celebrate our Independence Day from British rule. This annual celebration usually includes trips to the lake or beach. People often grill outside with friends and family. The day wraps up with fireworks. Growing up, the Fourth of July was one of the greatest parties of the year.
