MJM Demo

Overview:

  • Philosophy
    User-centered design: start with who's going to use it & what they need. Test often and make decisions based on data.
  • Web standards
    CSS-based design, valid HTML (when possible), unobtrusive javascript (not shown here)
  • Website vs. web application
    "You only need us, & no one else" vs. "give them what they want -- fast; make them want to touch it"

First step:

  • Music & Data Manager template to match new layout
    Using css-based layout, with simplified design

New ideas:

  • Tab between pages
    Pre-loaded, dynamically loaded, traditional link
  • Edit & reorder information within the page
    Use ajax techniques to make the application faster/more fun
  • "Playlist Builder"
    One idea for how to manage sequentially building a playlist
