The Ultimate Guide to Proper Use of Animation in UX

Nowadays it’s hard to impress or even surprise with an interface animation. It shows interactions between screens, explains how to use the application or simply directs a user’s attention. While exploring the articles about animation, I found out that almost all of them describe only specific use cases or general facts about animation, but I haven’t come across any article where all rules concerning animation of interfaces would be clearly and practically described. Well, in this article I won’t write anything new, I just want to collect all the main principles & rules in one place, so that other designers who want to start animating interfaces don’t have to search for additional information.

The Ultimate Guide to Selling Coaching Services to Your Blog

Making money means building an audience, and building an audience means engaging people on a basic level. The most basic possible way to engage someone is to talk to them one on one.

The ultimate guide to HTTP status codes and headers for SEO

In the client-server architecture of the World Wide Web, the interaction between browsers and websites is handled through the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). This protocol was introduced in 1991 and is an official web standard. Almost all traffic on the web is handled through HTTP. When search engine spiders like Googlebot crawl a website, they behave like browsers requesting web pages from a site and rely on HTTP for this exchange. This is why it’s important for search engine optimization specialists (SEOs) to understand how the HTTP protocol works and the impact it has on search engines’ crawling and indexing of web pages. In this column, I’ll explain everything you need to know.

The ultimate guide to bot herding and spider wrangling

We generally think about search engine optimization in relation to humans: What queries are my customers using? How can I get more bloggers to link to me? How can I get people to stay longer on my site? How can I add more value to my customers’ lives and businesses?

This is how it should be.

But even though we live in a world that is increasingly affected by non-human actors like machines, artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithms, we often forget a large part of optimizing a website has nothing to do with people at all.

In fact, many of the website visitors we need to please are actually robots, and we ignore them at our peril!

How to Teach a Child to Read. The Ultimate Guide

I looked like a mother hen with my chick gathered around me. Sitting on the floor with my legs crossed, I stared into six eager pairs of eyes that were ready to learn to read… but there was a problem.

A knot tightened in my stomach as I realized just how unprepared I was to take kids from non-readers to readers. Sure, I could say “sound it out”, but was that really going to get it? This was a serious responsibility! Who decided I could even be trusted to do this?!?

“Let’s all look at the first page,” I said. And we dove into a book.

This is the Cliff’s Notes version of the things I learn from trial and error, helpful colleagues, and professional books as I taught those kids to read:

The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Your Entire Home

1. Zap your damp or wet sponge in the microwave for one minute to kill 99.9% of the bacteria lurking on it.

Both the USDA and Good Housekeeping found this actually works; try to do it at least once a week, if not every three days or so. And if you heard that microwaving doesn't help, well — all those news reports were inaccurate. (It's also essentially equally effective to run your sponge through the dishwasher, on the top rack, with the heat-dry setting, if you prefer to do that instead.)

The Ultimate Guide to Wallpaper and the Home

Something that has remained with me since I was a child is just how powerful wallpaper design can be.

These wallpapers evoke memories gone by, depicting a time and place of my youth. Whether vivid or demure, pattern, colour and imagery are all around us and we are now seeking to embrace it more than ever with wallpaper.
