This week, for paid members
- Our paid lesson this week is all about the creation of long-term business strategy. On the face of things, this sounds like a very weird thing to be discussing in the paid community. Many of us already have solid long-term strategies in place. But what happens when weâre working with less optimization-mature clients? How do we lead them to the creation of durable values, and how do we practice that durability in our daily work?
- Our design of the week covers the right way to handle single selection in product detail page buy boxes.

Links & analysis
- In further âstuff I thought everyone did, but it turns out nobody doesâ news, it turns out that you can be inspired by old-school low-tech interfaces. I donât think you can learn too much from these, since they operate so well with constraint.
- For those who engage with social media frequently, you may wish to make your content more accessible. This resource seems like it would be helpful!
- A pattern library for decentralized apps. No, not that kind of decentralized app.
- How to handle feedback, from the perspective of the most important people in the process: developers. In my experience, too many value-based designers seek feedback from those with strategic approval authority. This makes sense, and it also sometimes results in unworkable or non-trivial solutions. How can one critique effectively, such that you create something that is profitable and buildable?
- Baymardâs latest is on how to display prices on product detail pages. Weâve covered this more broadly in our buy box research, and itâs nice to see the specific topic handled here.
