Packaging Design for Web-based Products
Digital Web magazine has published a new article by me about applying the principles and lessons of packaging design to Web applications and services:

Packaging Design for Web-based Products

'Though hundreds of years of packaging design history and best practices may have influenced your offline shopping behaviors and decisions, the lessons learned in this enduring discipline didn’t have much of an influence on early web designs. After all, early web sites were primarily tasked with promoting or explaining offline services, companies, and products.

Following on the heels of these brochure-ware sites came a wave of e-commerce applications: buying, selling, or trading physical goods or services. It wasn’t until web applications became services, products, or content destinations unto themselves that concepts long known in the packaging design world—such as central and peripheral messages, shelf-space differentiation, and self-retailing—came to be significant considerations online.

As a product designer, I’m responsible for ensuring that web applications not only resonate with their target audiences but also embody appropriate brand propositions. As such, I’ve taken it upon myself to dive deeper into the principles and lessons of packaging design in order to learn what lessons can be applied to the world of web applications. Here’s some of what I’ve found so far.'

Thanks to the Digital Web team for asking me to contribute to their great magazine.

Lazyweb: full list of Sony BMG owned domains?

A non-spam comment recently arrived on the old Boycott Sony site, which is something of a rarity these days. Reader PJ asks whether there is a known list of sites that are owned by Sony BMG, or Sony generally, so that he can block those sites for showing up in AdSense ads.

I don’t have such a list. Does anyone out there? I suspect that part of the issue may be that Sony Music/Sony BMG registers unique domains for its artists, meaning that blocking ads for them may turn into a game of whack-a-mole. But I’ll throw the question out to LazyWeb anyway.

DRC report - more feedback
Maurice Franceschi has e-mailed me his response to the recent Disability Rights Report on Web Accessibility.'However, given that the vast majority of sites cannot even achieve the basic issues I cannot see any clear way forward to getting sites to address the more advanced and broader issues above as long as the DRC takes a softly, softly approach - I mean, they do not even list the 1000 websites tested in the report. In the accompanying webcast there was an obvious reluctance to go to court but at the same time the Australian Olympics case is mentioned as an example of what can happen. I think a high-profile case is going to be what it takes, in the end, to force compliance. If Ryanair can be taken to court and lose over the wheelchair charging, I do not see what the problem is. 'He makes some useful and valid points: read the full e-mail about the report.I think Maurice is right - a high profile court case is going to make all the difference.

CSS and Web development search engines

In October 2006 Google extended their Co-op platform with Custom Search Engine, which lets anybody create a specialised search engine (and earn money from it if they want to).

I'm aware of three custom search engines of interest for Web professionals:

Eric Meyer's CSS Search
Sébastien Billard's Ergonosearch
Scott Bernadot's Sparkl

While custom search engines are an interesting concept I find myself somewhat wary of using them. Not because there's anything wrong with them, but because I can't help wondering if what I'm looking for is on a site that the custom search engine has not added to its index.

Only Ergonosearch has a list of indexed sites. You can see which sites are indexed by CSS Search, but only by creating a Google account and logging in. I can't find any way of finding out which sites Sparkl indexes.

I think giving visitors easy access to a list of indexed sites would remove most of that feeling of uncertainty and make me trust specialised search engines more.

Are you aware of any other Google CSEs related to Web development?
