How can I improve my website?
No website is perfect. It’s not going to be. The pace of change within digital media is far too fast for us to reach perfection. We can though make them more effective.

Balancing login usability and security
Online security and passwords is a topic that never dies. We are hopeless at being secure, and a whole load of companies have shown they are equally as hopeless at it.
On top of that, hackers have proved time and time again how smart and inventive they can be in order to break things open.
I’m not a security expert, but I am an expert in usability and practical usability. This article is written with user experience in mind and considers how we can make digital services more secure without making users confused, disheartened, angry, or violent (or all of them at once).
The hidden Impact of those extra little features
I was indexing Swedish digital agency Avantime’s new website for The Beantin Index. Indexing sites is always a great exercise. Amongst other things, it gives me the chance to brush-up on and evaluate various methods, techniques and ideas.
Of the sites I’ve reviewed, almost all have an eyebrow raising moment. Avantime was no exception. A little Flickr feature got my web-sense tingling.
That big sliding banner? Yeah, it’s rubbish
You know that big automatic rotating banner you ordered for your start page? Yeah, that’s right. It’s rubbish.
“ Have your ever used that system? Well, I wish you luck. It’s so difficult to understand that I lost my temper today and began to cry
A user on a system they have to use as part of their job. It’s unacceptable what we make people put up with. Stupid bloody system as Jonas Söderström puts it.
