Created Cake UCD e-learning. Authored #ReadabilityGuidelines, plus led project, designed wiki… Wrote ‘Task-based intranet content’ – buy: Blurb, Apple, Kobo. 🦋

We tend to go into user journey mapping focused on finding pain points, to improve the design. This is good, reflects a desire to improve #usability.

We should also identify bliss points, to know what’s brilliant, reassuring, very usable (if anything), so we don’t design it out.

Going through @CakeBitesize content training - some great practical tips e.g. on use of bold and tone - that I haven't seen so explicitly written down before (it's somewhat implicit in other style guides)

We’re no longer bitesize but the e-learning is still great! Reposting the Cake making machine GIF one more time for old times’ sake. 😊

£13.30 for 4 books is still a bargain at twice the price these days. 📚📚📕

Btw is there a way for people to return them to Wob, to keep things circular? I give mine to charity/station book swops anyway. Plus have also joined my new local library.

@Wob_group Hello, order number # WGB-2312-21049335 got sent to my old address and I won't be able to pick it up w/in the 18 days the DO will keep it so it'll go back to you. I'll reorder same books next year – feel free to charge me again as I fully support your great initiative!

If your government (national, local, whatever) or organisation (public, private, whatever) has ever made use of the GOV.���UK Design System (code, guidance, whatever), please reply and let us know what impact it had.

Chipping away at the content – rationalising, reducing, clarifying: this can be how #ContentDesign gets initial recognition within an organisation.

Getting some really clear, user-centred content up and live can be of big value. Let's consider it #MicroContentTransformation.

this seems very bad for anyone that owns one of these bikes—you have to unlock it with the app! and unless something has changed, it's owned/maintained by an external vendor... who won't keep it up if they aren't paid

What makes an accessible, easy to read font?

“Do have:
• Tall x-height: the height of lower case letters like m, a, x, and r.
• Height difference between ascenders and capital letters, so for example, capital "i" and lower case "l" look different…” https://t.co/oeLbxog0ks

Content usability basics module by @CakeBitesize 🍰

An intro to user-friendly web content. How clear language increases comprehension, why to use the active tense – and the importance of #accessibility, #inclusivity, #tone and #consistency.

Designing a high-converting form is not achieved by using float labels.

It’s achieved by:

1) Asking minimal questions
2) Making those questions clear
3) Using simple interactions that users understand

Prioritise the hard work over visual fluff.

Do I know anyone who could offer #GraphicDesign work experience this July for a Year 11 student? She took Design GCSE early and will have just taken the Graphics GCSE exam. Absolutely loves it, work is of a high standard, is thoughtful in her process and has great initiative.
