Good UI for End-User's Perspective is Still Important on Web Apps
It was a beautiful day when we prepare our web applications to demonstrate our 2-week project in front of our CEO, to our Project Manager, Test and Requirements team, and to the Software Development team leaders. The web application if passed accordingly to our Proof of Concept (POC), will be shift and be tested before deployment. I was so confident that I had made all the requirements given to us by the Requirements team. But too much confidence change everything. I received a lot of criticism. But why? The answer is "Bad User Interface"! Like the banner was too big and should be a text and not a picture so that it will look simple, some text in buttons where not properly labeled, even the buttons stylesheets where not properly monitored. It was really hard on my part, because I made almost all my time configuring how to program and develop every piece of information on my application but still, on the business world, no one uses CTRL key to create multiple selections for example. Everything is a mouse click away. And the simple the better. And everything must be accordingly design according to its background color and even the text and hyperlinks must be properly configured. All in all, despite the criticism, it takes me again to the next level of software development. This will be a good start as my learning experience and not a failure. Everything should be considered in developing software in the business world. So guys, keep your skills on what I will call designer-business capability up for you to catch a good UI Perspective on your Web Applications!
