Yay, subscription confirmed! We’ve prepared a little present for you. Thanks for being smashing — now, and ever. Dear Friend, Meow, you are one of us now! As a little token of appreciation for your time, we’ve prepared a little goodie for you. We’ve prepared a PDF deck with 150+ questions to ask when designing almost anything — from accordions and drop-downs to tables and maps. Get The Checklists PDF → If the button above doesn’t work for some reason, please copy and paste this URL into your browser instead: Download Vitaly’s "Interface Design Checklists" (PDF, 364 MB) Useful pointers for designing accordions, navigation, carousels, tables, configurators and maps. These checklists are based on the work we’ve been doing for many years, exploring and examining examples of desktop and mobile interfaces. Learning what works and what doesn’t in usability tests and user interviews. These aren’t golden rules, but rather starting points to help you consider all angles when working alone, or in a team. We hope you’ll find them useful for your work. Thanks for being smashing, now and ever. The Smashing Family (help@smashingmagazine.com) https://www.smashingmagazine.com
