I use Christie’s site for my art blog occasionally. They advertise great paintings and photographs on their front page. For the life of me I can’t actually get to the listings they show. Why you no link to inside content!!!
Edit: Supposed to click on the big picture. Duh. Makes sense, but with so many other places I thought made sense to click, it was a bit confusing. Something should look like an obvious link.
Dear Facebook UI Designer:
Yes, “submit” buttons are kinda gross. But having to explain how to interact with a form is more gross. Just sayin’.
When it comes to evaluating the usability of an interface, user testing is often considered unnecessary if an expert has already reviewed it. Since people rarely behave the way you expect, an expert can find major usability problems, but usability tests always reveal surprising issues.
Usability testing and expert reviews are both useful and tend to have different findings, therefore it’s usually recommended to combine the two in order to get the most comprehensive analysis of the interface.

The longer I stare at it the more I feel a panic attack coming on.
Serious mapping problems. The right-side scroll bar controls the left-side content. Easily solved by having the navigation on the left and just having it scroll with the page like normal people do.
