When a small-to-mid-sized business first implements a new technology, it’s often only one person inside the company who owns the entire product. In the early ’90s when the web was in its infancy, my role included everything from copywriting to graphic design, coding, and basically everything that was needed to create a website. There wasn’t nearly the same focus or variety of roles working on the web as exists today, so I was the only one who knew how to do it.

“Although the Galaxy S9 may not have the innovative features expected by the market, we are focusing on enhancing the completeness of the Galaxy S8 hardware and an innovative user experience (UX),” a Samsung said all the way back in mid-November. More and more Galaxy S9 reports were painting a similar picture at the time. The Galaxy S9 would not bring over a brand new design. Instead, Samsung would repackage the Galaxy S8 with new hardware and software tricks this year.
Fast-forward to today, and you’ll see a rumor that says Samsung invented new UX features for the phone never-before-seen on previous Galaxy S models.

Let me ask you something: Would you buy a home without a building inspection? Would you build a home without consulting an architect?
Recently, my husband and I purchased a house. Although it’s only 20 years old, we wanted to be sure we were making a sound purchase, so we hired a building inspector. The building inspector found some issues but not enough to scare us off the house. So we bought it and got to work planning the necessary repairs and renovations. We’re really looking forward to experiencing the finished product later this year because we know it’ll be safe, sound and delightful after all of our hard work preparing it.

The calculator isn’t the most beautiful thing in the world but when you press your fingers into its buttons, it can do some wondrous things. Or take Crocs — the butt of many jokes — but the first choice of shoes for people working in the medical profession. That’s the thing when it comes to the user experience vs. usability debate: products don’t have to be beautiful to offer a great user experience.
