Create pleasurable experiences for people who interact with our content
“Users don’t care about convention and heuristics and all of that. Users just want to have a good experience achieving the outcomes they set out to achieve in your site/system/product.

Surely we can actually create a pleasurable experience through the way that people interact with our content or functionality.” – Leisa Reichelt

“As the advocates for user experience I think it’s important that we’re advocating for everyone’s experience and perhaps doing a little bit more than just whispering the word ‘accessibility’ in a meeting early on and allowing it to be just as easily dismissed. And not just because of the potential legal implications, but because it’s our job.” – Leisa Reichelt
