Matthew, nice job on the solo podcast. I enjoyed the discussion on usability, trust and experience that a Web site can offer. It just feels right when you don’t notice what happens on the site as the design allows for a natural flow. Your thoughts on the discoverability that Web sites can provide was interesting; as a designer/developer, I focus so much on creating the site that once it goes live there is nothing left to discover. I seem to discover more from a site that I’ve created only by watching someone navigate and experience the site. It was refreshing to hear your view point from the user’s perspective.

Two new WordPress themes Adept & Amerifecta
Both are versatile themes, built for speed with seven widget positions; three in the sidebar and four in an extended footer. They features a clean design, suitable for a wide range of applications. Designers will appreciate the fixed width grid layout, including a baseline grid for vertical text alignment. To visitors this makes the site ‘look and feel’ right. Users will also appreciate the light page weight, around 100k!
This site is using the Amerifecta theme > download the .zip archive from the Overhaul Industries site Adept is available from both Overhaul Industries and WordPress.org/extend/themes
