Há cerca de dois anos eu concorri para o projeto Zizuzi, um conceito de rede de emprego, com contratandos e contratantes. Quando vi o documento de aproximadamente 17 páginas de conteúdo relativamente preciso e bem organizado, eu pensei que iria participar num projeto inteligente.
Ontem tive curiosidade de ver como estaria o projeto. Morri. Vejam por vocês.

Sem informação para quem entra, sem forma de registo, nada. E isto é só a página de entrada. Eu até tremo de pensar o que estará lá por dentro. Expresso as minhas condolências pela pobre alma que inventou o nome Zizuzi; em nada sugere “rede de procura e oferta de emprego”.

Yesterday I gave birth to a nice debate about <br />. I threw that tweet because I was facing a terrible blunder from a fellow designer. He was using <br />'s to wrap an <hr /> just to give the ruler some space — instead of adding margins to it —. Paulo Zoom and Levi Figueira propelled the whole thing and I kinda moderated it. The end result was quite satisfying, I must say.

Just picture it: you are about to welcome your client into your office for a first meeting. You are excited to know what he wants. He brings his suitcase. Both of you happily sit down and he takes the project briefing out of the suitcase and hands it to you. This is what I want. Please take a look.
, the client happily states, confident in his effort to provide a solid brief for you to work on.
Take the briefing and tear it up in half!

Last week I struggled with a design decision that really caught my attention. Consider this:
- You have a user driven app on the web.
- You also provide some actions for guests.
What you would do? Either:
- Don’t show the user only actions? (my opinion: this one reduces clutter on your interface).
- Or do show them and when the user clicks the links/buttons, the user gets a login redirected page for every new click?
My pick would be number 1. Why?
I’d rather have a welcome page that showed you what to use in case you signed up. Actions such as creating a new item on a product list and message sending that apparently require a sign up are confusing for a guest. Besides, clicking on such an action and redirecting you to a login page several times is not that much of an engaging experience.
Feel free to add up on this thought.

Ever since I joined Weemagine and started to help building Weebiz, I have been learning a lot of stuff other than technology. The marketing team has really good knowledge I can use myself. This week I concluded that the way we approach people through our content can sometimes – if not always – be the key to success.
