Web Page Test Results for INSPIONS.com

Curious with the announcement of Google’s page speed service, We ran the Web Page Test on http://www.inspions.com.  It appears, little surprisingly,  if we follow ‘thumb rules’ of optimization for web pages, the optimized site may actually run slower than the current version.

The page load time is actually worse on the optimized version of the site.  You may check full results of the test here. I will take a look at detailed analysis and post notes later on what is good and bad about the current site structure.

Lifecycle of a Wireframe

Just watched Lifecycle of a Wireframe by Nick Finck on Active Player. Wonderful session.

Dive deep into the process used to create wireframes, a key deliverable for user experience designers. Hear about the principles that guide this process, how to create great wireframes (all the way down to the nitty-gritty page or screen level), and how to identify and deliver solutions that meet your clients' business goals and solve their problems. Walk away with a better understanding of what delivering awesome wireframes entails - from methodology, to process, to delivery - and how to do it yourself. If you're an information architect, interaction designer, visual designer, or regular old user experience-curious creature: this one's for you.

While we can just start with a white paper and pencil to get started with wire-frames, We could also create great wireframes right in MS Power Point itself. You may download this  MS Power Point template for creating wonderful wireframes in Power Point.
