>>It's no use testing bad designs. A-B-testing will only work if both alternatives are good (good enough to meet the requirements). I agree. Their was no problem with the prototypes, they both achieved the desired result efficiently with different layouts.
>>If there's an opinion war after testing, then I would think that the design problem wasn't clear to start with. Did the stakeholders agree on what problem the design should solve? No, the design problem was clear. That is a good question about the stakeholders. Who would that be? The lab was all part of the same business .com entity. UX, Sales, Marketing etc. we offered the same service we created. That was outside of the scope of what I was doing. The deal was the observations weren't in sync. Anyways, when I think layouts these come to mind: http://www.newyorker.com/ http://www.npr.org/ http://www.surfline.com http://www.havoc.tv/ http://espn.go.com/ Sorry to hijack your post again K. Make sure to double check any test results if you conduct any. On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 6:11 AM, Yohan Creemers <[email protected]> wrote: > It's no use testing bad designs.
