Self-care, generalizable principles, order confirmation

Draft's Letters

Store Design has been sent to the printer. Still on track for a January delivery.


Rest is necessary, of course. In what specific ways have you rested this month?


This week, for paid members

  • Our office hours are tomorrow, November 21 at 1p CDT. Want to talk to a value-based designer about what to do over the weekend? I have a very good stuffing recipe.
  • Our weekly paid lesson is about how to care for yourself during busy periods at your job.
  • And our design of the week shows off a curious buy box detail. Does it work? More research is needed!

Want in? Join us now – named one of the best ecommerce communities going on the web.

  • An absolute banger from Baymard: ideas in value-based design are generalizable across most industries, in most applications. When to go specific, versus when to frame as heuristics?
  • Lovely post on when to run experiments versus roll out one-off changes.
  • Well-designed order confirmation pages provide no dead-ends for the customer. It’s never just about conversion, fam!
  • Buttons.
  • Minimalist affordances.
