“People should never feel like a failure when using technology. Like the customer, the user is always right. If software crashes, it is the software designer’s fault. If someone can’t find something on a web site, it is the web designer’s fault… The big difference between good and bad designers is how they handle people struggling with their design. Technology serves humans. Humans do not serve technology.” – Joshua Porter

“You don’t sacrifice the experience for growth; you drive growth from the quality of the experience.” – Do you matter? How great design will make people love your company by Robert Brunner and Stewart Emery
I highly recommend Robert and Stewart’s book Do you matter? How great design will make people love your company. In this book, they explain how great design is about creating a deep relationship with your customers by creating a complete “customer experience supply chain.”
