big fan of how the About Us page is a bunch of pictures of the same woman on different vacations.
Michael Aleo, 8 years ago
Came here to post that. This cannot be real.
Cian Mac Mahon, 8 years ago
It looks like it's the 'CEO'.
Cristian Moisei, 8 years ago (edited 8 years ago )
Small correction.
Mike Wilson, 8 years ago (edited 8 years ago ) This is a peek behind of the veil of this UX thing we all worship.
What's ironic, is that these people were calling themselves UX'ers before it became a buzzword that everybody and their grandmother started dropping on their Linkedin. Even though the site is from '09, those cats have been in the game from the beginning. Real OG UX'ers if you will.
The rest of us are just late-to-the-party bandwagon jumpers.

I just checked out some of their css.
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;They actually prefer Arial over Helvetica.
Timothy Kempf, 8 years ago Also, check out how amazing the UX was in 2011: https://web.archive.org/web/20110202120939/http://ouxinstitute.com/

That is actually cool!
Pedro Pinto, 8 years ago
That's awesome.

The About page is hilarious. Various photos of Deborah J. Mayhew PhD (tm) taken on the same overcast day by the water.
This site reminds me so heavily of Garth Merenghi's Darkplace.

Get How Join What Who Why
At least they used proper capitalization in eXperience.
Todd F, 8 years ago
Any site that uses Flash is clearly just trolling.
Kyle Barber, 8 years ago

When she said: "O-U-X-I, pronounced ooxie" I nearly spat my coffee.
Dan G, 8 years ago
thought this was satirical

Made in 2009. I don't remember how bad things were in 2009.
David Kavanagh, 8 years ago
They weren't that bad I assure you... Although, the term UX wasn't thrown around so loosely back then.
In 2009 we would have had the exact same reaction we're having now.
This would have been cutting edge in 1996.
Eugene Ross, 8 years ago
Honestly, I've seen worse.
On a user experience education website?

The UX equivalent of The Room?
A founder of the institute, Deborah, has a course on UX design in Udemy. https://www.udemy.com/designing-for-productivity-in-the-user-experience/?dtcode=KuuLhed2WizG So... if anyone is interested...

My eyes! D:
Lee Hord, 8 years ago
Love this comment at the top of the CSS file:
/* DEBORAH'S Alt Home Page CSS - Merit will NOT Edit! */
Clearly been a UX fight or two in the past.
Dan Boland, 8 years ago (edited 8 years ago ) ...
Andrea Montini, 8 years ago
Is this a joke? It must be.
Anthony Gibson, 8 years ago I'm just enjoying these comments...
Max Gustofson, 8 years ago
Someone is trolling so hard
Samantha S, 8 years ago "Get"
