DENIM: Finding a Tighter Fit Between Tools and Practice for Web Site Design

Proceedings of the SIGCHI …, Jan 1, 2000

However, existing web design tools do not support these tasks very well. Informed by these observations, we created DENIM, a system that helps web site designers in the early stages of design. DENIM supports sketching input, allows design at different refinement levels, and unifies the levels through zooming. We performed an informal evaluation with seven professional designers and found that they reacted positively to the concept and were interested in using such a system in their work.

Sitemaps, Storyboards, and Specifications: a Sketch of Web Site Design Practice

Proceedings of the 3rd conference on …, Jan 1, 2000

Designers also employ multiple tools during the course of a design project, including graphic design, web development, presentation, and word processing software, as well as pen and paper. Sketching on paper is especially important during the design exploration phase of a design project, when designers wish to explore many design possibilities quickly without focusing on lowlevel details. Web site design tools intended to support the early phases of the design process should employ informal interaction techniques and should integrate well with other applications that designers use regularly.
