My goal with every design is to get to “Duh, of course that’s what it should be called / of course that’s where it should go / of course that’s what should happen next.” AND THE RESULT SEEMS OBVIOUS WHEN YOU GET THERE.

But the road to Duh is hard, laborious work.

PS – Should I write a post called “The Road to Duh”

Usability seems really simple, yet so overlooked; why would the State do that? I mean its not like there is a lack of Web development firms out here... I resort back to my social media roots, and I suggest the AZ511 Web site could just downsize into a Twitter feed, a blog and maybe a Google Maps Mashup. I was shocked to see the navigation on that site, too. ::Same Reaction:: ~Joe The IVR is HORRIBLE when I called AZ511. If customers (ahem, citizens) need to yell into their phone just to discover if a road is closed for never-ending construction; the State is doing something wrong. I enjoyed that review.
