Good Design Just Feels Better
written by Allan on July 21, 2008
I find it hard to write and talk about good UI, I think I know why. We received this feedback about the new LessAccounting.com design.

"I really like the new UI. I can't pinpoint exactly why it's better. It just feels more polished and solid."

Whoa! Good design/UI just feels better. There are general rules to follow but for the most part its about feeling. Thanks Jeremy for that spark!
So how do you "know" when you've created or found a good design?

LessAccounting. It's like Quickbooks, just not total shit.

I like the design of the Less Everything page. My only problem is that it is illegible to me when it first comes up, due to my quite poor vision. On the upside, when I enlarge it enough to read, everything is still there and still formatted properly. This is far from a given even in so-called web designer’s sites. I have frequent problems with columns intermixing, text bleeding over sidebars, stuff scrolling off and being hidden and other irritations. Good for you for avoiding that.
As to the design of your blog page, I have one observation. I like the look, but for some reason it feels like a Twitter user page to me.
I feel a good design by when my body lights up, and what I’m looking at makes me “happy.”
My eyes feel like they are ‘at home’ when they see a good design, and they go green with envy with they see a great one. :)
When I dont have to think… everything just flows.
