Current UX work

Format of meetings:

Mix of 1 large focus topic and any quick wins (not necessarily related to the larger topic) that help us book success. Possible topics:

  • Visual hierarchy
  • Migrate UI
  • Example content

Need to create an asset library

There are no up to date PSD/Sketch/… files readily available. Would be good to have those.

  • Place to share design assets
  • Have reference files that document the standards
  • Research ways to organize this setup. google drive maybe?

Another Usability Study in Twin Cities this Year?

We've begun planning for Twin Cities Drupal Camp this year and are interested in knowing whether or not there is interest in another Usability Study at the University of Minnesota. This year, we are actually having our camp on the University of MN campus.

I've heard that their summer schedule is filling up, so we need to get on their calendar now, if we want access to their lab. (NOTE: We have not yet confirmed anything with them yet. So even if they have time available, we still need to put in a request).

Bricks module — revolutionary new way of creating rich content in Drupal

https://www.drupal.org/project/bricks

Bricks — is a revolutionary new way of creating rich content in Drupal. Thanks to the powerful contributions like ECK and Entity Reference, Bricks itself is just 100 lines of code.

In terms of concept Bricks is a new generation of Paragraphs, drop-in replacement for Panelizer and a good friend to Display Suite and WYSIWYG.

Live demo

  1. Open pre-configured sandbox on simplytest.me.
  2. Click Launch sandbox and wait.
  3. Click Log in (email and password should be pre-filled).
  4. Go to Appearance and click Set default near the Bootstap theme.
  5. Go to Structure > Content types > Page > Manage fields and:
    • Edit and Save field_body (this enforces Field API to alter database schema).
    • Optionally Delete useless body field.
  6. Finally click Add content on the toolbar and create your first bricky page!

Offer to help with D8 UX and Usability testing and improvements

Hello everyone,

First a public apology to all those within the community I offended and in other ways behaved badly against last time, few years back, around. It is not an excuse, but I was then on my way straight into the wall and towards a personal meltdown which has taken until now to feel sure that the risk for backlashes is under control, including to know I will handle things better this time around.

Please feel free to contact me privately if there is anything you need me to explain further. I would be happy to discuss and clear up any remaining issues you have.

Experiences performing user tests with Drupal prototypes

I have been working on a project recently where we have been performing user tests against Drupal prototypes. The audience is a mix of people from regular users of Drupal to marketers who have never seen the platform.

We are seeing a trend where people are regularly distracted and/or confused by things within Drupal core's interface. One example is we designed a test where users would edit a node and change the workflow state. Users found it challenging to even find where to go to edit the node.
