UI design mistakes – download.com
I was trying to download an update for GOM player(great player, by the way) but I stumbled upon… clicking the download button.
I clicked and nothing happened. Because the designers from download.com broke one of the UI design rules.
If you draw a button – make it act like a button.
The quality of software is often estimated by the authors attitude to the details. And from that point of view I’m disappointed in this site. And tha last thing for the designers of download.com(in case they’ll read this sometime):
"Design it’s not about fancy drawing, it’s about usability."
