UI & Accessibility 10
- The tiny arrow is making a surprisingly big decision
- An icon should not need its own onboarding process
- The sticky button needs to leave room for the website
- Website motion should help people keep their place
- Alt text should explain the image’s job, not moonlight as an SEO brochure
- Tabs are useful when people can work out what is behind them
- The layout needs to work between the screenshots
- Your brand font needs to survive a phone screen
- Your brand palette needs to work when colors are harder to tell apart
- The focus ring deserves a place in the design
UX & Conversion 16
- A case study page should show how you think
- A player dashboard should make the next step obvious
- Does this really need a popup?

- The confirmation page still owes the customer an answer
- “Book a call” should tell people what they’re booking
- A contact form should not require a packed lunch
- A showroom website still has a customer journey to finish
