The other one I can think of is: "Don't be cheeky and try to promote your web company by putting your logo at the bottom of the page, or hidden in the HTML code of the page. We didn't like it 20 years ago when printers tried putting it on our brochures, and we don't like it nowadays."Darren Whitelawhttp://www.twitter.com/darrenwhitelawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750343339904865739.post-34476378352063001532011-04-18T21:03:51.364+10:002011-04-18T21:03:51.364+10:00Top stuff, let's hope the message gets through...Top stuff, let's hope the message gets through! :)Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10401563613826134730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750343339904865739.post-44456260496370809262011-04-18T16:09:47.933+10:002011-04-18T16:09:47.933+10:00Craig this is a beautiful piece of work - absolute...Craig this is a beautiful piece of work - absolutely love it!Cheryl Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055234386823934792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750343339904865739.post-61970452472883866352011-04-18T14:51:07.920+10:002011-04-18T14:51:07.920+10:00I think I've lived through every one of these ...I think I've lived through every one of these examples as an insider.

Indicate if you're open to customising an existing app, and suss out each respondent's solution during the pitch - using *scenarios* (joint digital agency celebrations once RFTs move away from requirements matrices to user stories/scenarios!)<br /><br />* Usability analysis, should precede implementation & usability testing. Unsurprisingly, a fragmented approach will result in a fragmented solution ;) don't put out multiple RFTs for what should be a holistic, comprehensive project.<br /><br />To go back to where the post started, adhering to AGIMO's web guidelines (especially around accessibility) will result in a better overall web project - can't underscore that enough, and I do hope digital agencies who aren't versed in this aspect are challenged!Anuhttp://twitter.com/atomic_anunoreply@blogger.com
