“Designing interactions and guiding experience is more than interface design or usability tricks. Every piece of interaction will speak to the user. Every detail, every piece of marketing copy, image, icon, drop shadow, layout placement, or button contributes to the user’s associations and judgements about the company they are dealing with.” – Shawn Borsky

![“The experienced web designer[’s]... job is not to whine about emerging commonalities but to use them to create pages that are distinctive, natural, brand- appropriate, subtly memorable, and quietly but unmistakably engaging. If she achieves all that and sweats the details, her work will be beautiful. If not everyone appreciates this beauty—if not everyone understands web design—then let us not cry for web design, but for those who cannot see.” - Jeffrey Zeldman](http://www.inspireux.com/wp-content/uploads/110.gif "“The experienced web designer[’s]... job is not to whine about emerging commonalities but to use them to create pages that are distinctive, natural, brand- appropriate, subtly memorable, and quietly but unmistakably engaging.

“Experience design should not be solely brand focused; instead it should not be too branded focused. It is about designing delivery of customer needs, so naturally it should start with the customers. It should form the core of a go-to-market strategy of any brand. It is the experience first, then the messages.” – Idris Mootee
