Amen to that - but how do you convince the powers that be? When
rebuilding the site for my day job <http://www.aclib.us> *any* user
testing was vetoed with "Just get something up. If there are
problems, we can change it later." Of course changes were made on the
"squeaky wheel" principle, many coming from inside the organization,
which naturally resulted in deterioration rather than improvement.
A redesign is imminent, so *any* suggestions as to how to effectively
make the argument? Please!!
