As design functions become more integrated in business functions, I've long been interested in how we can more effectively help increase the value of a given business in general.

I wanted to start a weekly roundup of articles relating to more and more of what I do and find interesting while working as a product designer.

Any feedback appreciated here =)

I think the best part of this page is the way it really does a good job of actually selling the product, especially letting you try out the actual product so can easily see how it would add value to your business.

The animations are great too though.

I've used TrackDuck (https://trackduck.com/) before, and it worked really well. It adds comments onto a page, but also takes screenshots for more context, and it also gathers browser and OS info for reproducing. They were acquired by InVision recently, so who knows what that means.

There are some issues with the font stylesheet loading now, so probably just a recent release that broke something. I'm seeing it too.

Before just looking at new technology, what are they wanting to add / get out of additional technical additions?

If they want more business, then maybe adding AMP markup for their content to be more quickly digested on mobile devices.

Adding onto this note, maybe converting the site into a Progressive Web App: https://wordpress.org/plugins/progressive-web-apps/

Tech changes all the time, and while React & Vue are great, there's no reason to rebuild a WP site just for the sake of it.

Dig deeper into why they want updates to figure out what tech could help achieve their goals.

Would the iOS Simulator not work for your needs?

It comes with Xcode, but you have to install the Developer Tools to access it.

A few resources that lead to many more resources:

Maybe they will -- but the issue we were trying to solve was more to the point of how can we better direct the user to where they want to go, rather than just give them a decent way to pick from LOTs of options.

If you've worked with a kickass UX person, you know that you are not a UX Designer. Hat tip to the author as this is something most web designers won't admin freely.

I, also, am not a UX Designer.
