Improving Data Quality in Online Studies

When conducting studies online, whether through surveys or unmoderated usability testing, we face a fundamental challenge: we cannot see our participants or control their environment. This limitation creates several concerns about data quality, and in the years since this article was first published in 2021, these challenges have evolved and expanded in unexpected ways — yes, it’s AI related. https://webdesignernews.com/improving-data-quality-in-online-studies/

CSS: scrollbar-color and scrollbar-gutter are Baseline Newly available

With the scrollbar-color property you can change the colors used for scrollbars. You can specify the color of the thumb and the color track with it.

As we enter 2025, AI is reshaping industries, automating tasks, and revolutionizing human-computer interactions. But where is AI truly heading? Will it replace jobs or create new opportunities? How will AI impact privacy, security, and ethics? https://webdesignernews.com/the-future-of-ai/

Building an organization’s code of conduct

The most challenging aspect of this is always culture — not just in terms of having different backgrounds, but in a lot of cases, the day-to-day work, company vision, and company strategy. Often, that’s not visible to everyone, but it should be because it impacts decision making. For example, as a company, should we implement this feature or that feature? Should we fix this bug right now or should we... https://webdesignernews.com/building-an-organizations-code-of-conduct/

Full-Bleed Layout with Modern CSS

The main content area is limited to a certain width and centered but a few elements “bleed” to the outside edges, filling the entire page width. There are already a lot of techniques to create such a layout but the one I came up with relies on modern features and only 4 lines of code. https://webdesignernews.com/full-bleed-layout-with-modern-css-2/
