XLN Telecom

Back in February, I had the pleasure of helping out the cxpartners dev team with building the new XLN Telecom website.

Due to the scale of the project and the amount of developers involved, we took a modular approach to the build, developing a pattern library first (I bloody love pattern libraries!) and then stitching the components together into various templates. The added benefit was XLN were then free to create almost limitless layout variations to suit their needs.

I absolutely adore working with the cx crew - their collaborative approach is so rewarding and I always leave with greater wisdom.

Well played everyone involved: xlntelecom.co.uk

Back in the saddle...

Good to be getting back in the saddle, so to speak (!) - and beginning a nice, long stint with the lovely, clever folk at cxpartners.

Can't say anything about the project (top secret, of course) but very much looking forward to working with Stu and the crew again - thanks for inviting me back!

On a side note - I am hoping to starting breathing some life back into my blog again. Little and often is the key :)

Stay tuned.

Next freelance availability: Feb 2014

We’ve been using this product road map template for a few years now. We thought it’d be good to share.

A product roadmap links individual projects to your wider business strategy. The steps to go through to reach the goals identified in your strategy. A way of planning the steps to get to where you want to be.

It helps show how each part of the business needs to be in step to meet important product updates & the overall strategy.

The myth of the fold, part 1

I read about this a good while ago, but have recently had cause to revisit the subject.

CXPartners, a U.K.-based design agency, recently posted the results of a study involving some 800 user testing sessions, and on only 3 occasions did the page fold stymie users.
