Why is eye-tracking important?
BBC has a short film on that subject. Compiled in just two minutes, find out why your navigation menus should be at the top, or left column.

SHIFT 2008 - Lisbon
It happened last week in Lisbon, an event gathering some experts in User Experience, Web communication and designers called SHIFT. Now we have a video with two guys from the organization staff doing a summary (in Portuguese) of the same event:
Following the steps of LIFT Conference iniciated in Geneva a few years ago, SHIFT puts Lisbon in the map of some brilliant people with good ideas to share with anyone interested in Web2.0, Usability, Web business models, and so on...

"We, designers get excited about our creativity but users appreciate creativity after they are happy with the usability"
Hello to all, I'm gonna start my participation sharing 2 things, 1º the sentence above.
It's already known by all of us, but I think it's never too much to remember ;) And 2º, a realy nice tool for every webdesigner that cares about usability. A checklist with 88 questions...and don't be surprise if you find out that the mistakes are often the same!!!
This checklist is a little bit long, but is easy to read because it´s organized by themes such as: Technical, Images, Content, Navigation, Structure, Forms, Multimedia and Extra features.
Here's a small hint of what you can find in this list:
"... Did you check your website in at least IE, FF, Opera and Safari?
Did you use EM or percentages instead of PX?
Did you create enough contrast between the text and the background?
Did you make a distinction between links and plain text?
Did you use breadcrumbs if you have a large amount of pages?
Did you make your logo link to your homepage?
Did you make sure that music and videoclips can be turned off at any time?
Did you make a site map?..."
