Why Your Form Buttons Should Never Say Submit - UX Movement

In may cases Submit buttons are "calls to action". You're asking a visitor/user to do something.

Instead of the default "Submit", consider what's actually happening from your user's perspective. Is there a better way to word that button?

When users fill out a form, they are engag­ing in a task. The action but­ton should affirm what that task is, so that users know exactly what hap­pens when they click that but­ton. A but­ton that describes the user’s task tells users that the form focuses on car­ry­ing out that spe­cific task. The more focused your form is, the more likely you’ll get users to com­plete your form.

However, sometimes statitics can help you get a bird's eye view of how your account is going.

TweetStats is one such tool, and gives you some benchmarks for your Twitter account that can compare month-by-month.

It's still pretty basic, but it works (mostly). You drag the width of your supported browser (Safari for example) until it's a bit less than the 960px grid used here, and the sidebar will drop down to below the content as the whole design takes on a fluid width.

Try it and see!

Migration Time

This blog formerly existed at waterfallweb.net - but it seemed a bit pointless to keep using that name when everywhere else online I'm "rockyshark".

So here's to the big migration!

You may be noticing the general ugliness of this theme. Believe it or not, it's that way on purpose.
