Cambridgeshire Webdesign and Online Marketing

This is a future glimpse at UX but in today's market we have to deal with quite remarkable advances in UI such as accelerometers in the iPhone or the pinch zoom which apple's competitors were slow to replicate. Indeed it is my belief that UX is what made Apple products better than the rest. Graphic designers could understand the Operating Systems as there were pretty icons to click and it made that Monday morning start a real joy ! The mobile phone of today force us to look at UI and UX with respect to us not having access to a keyboard and this alone has highlighted the importance even when we are faced with a regular website and a keyboard.

Principles of UX and UI will be addressed as part of an article I am going to make as yet another WIP as this is just the Glossary entry. For now the priciples are very short and sweet, I figure UI to be a subset of UX.

Principles of User Experience  UX

1. Keep it simple
2. Anticipate user movement
3. Test
4. Feedback

Within the contexts of the loose web ACL stads for Access Control Lists. 

Laymans Terms: You know like in facebook when you are logged in you can add things about yourself- well it knows how to store your photos as being yours due to ACL. 

More Technical: Consider that as a user of a website you may be using the site in different ways. Staff of a web company need to be logged in and verified against ACL's to allow them a set of privileges that customers might not have. For example Staff need to update price lists and customers certainly should not be able to do that.
if you are designing a website and need this kind of control consider very strongly employing the use of pre-written frameworks or CMS. This is not a light an easy subject to just enable on a basic website. The basic site we offer does come with built in ACL to unlimited customisable levels.
