My Philosophy

Before I had the privilege of attending one of Jakob Nielsen's User Experience conferences, I discovered his Web site, www.useit.com. Specifically, I really liked his May 1996 Web page on the "Original Top Ten Mistakes in Web Design." As of 3 Oct 2005, he published his "Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005."

Because Nielsen's opinions make so much sense, all of my Web pages have:

• No flash or splash screens. ("Flash: 99% Bad")
• No tiny fonts. ("Let Users Control Font Size")
• No frames. ("Why Frames Suck (Most of the Time)")
• No animation or music. ("Guidelines for Multimedia on the Web")

Nielsen's Web site is chock full of interesting reading for any Webmaster or Webmistress.

→ Branding requires a logo. My logo is a small gif file of my initials R-A-J interconnected into a symbol I have been using since the late 1960's. (There. I dated myself.)

→ The Texas Flag line is another small gif file to show my "Don't Mess with Texas" attitude.

→ The Never Forget Ribbon is yet another small gif file to show my "Don't Mess with the USA" attitude.
