If you’ve been around awhile you might remember Matt Jones’s WebDogme ‘01:

Eric’s dogmas are spot on. I’ll print them in 48pt Frutiger (our corporate font :-/ ) and permanently glue them onto the office wall for everyone of my colleagues to read, every single day.

The dogmas are stating the obvious, but that’s what dogmas are for. As a consultant I feel I’m stating the obvious for my clients every day, but sometimes you need a guy with a higher oomph factor than yours truly to state it too for the CEOs out here to hear it.

Come on – shout it out.

I’m a big believer in having a starting point for your thinking. It serves as a rudder when things start to get tedious or too micro-focused.

As long as you have a standard to begin with, you have to come up with an argument to depart from it as opposed making up a rule on the spot or being at the mercy of the most charismatic person on the team when it comes to what and why something finds its way onto a page.

It’s not going to solve all your problems and compromise is part of doing business. However, you’d be surprised how often you can close a discussion by being the person in the room with an external basis for a point of view.

The “dogmas” are perfect. A lot of re-stating what has been said a thousand times before; but clearly, there is a need to re-state these ideas and more importantly, for them to be read or heard.

It all comes down to a well formed information architecture and simplicity and actually practicing the dogmas…

I love the dogmas – they are a great approach to thinking, but flexible. Great interview too!

Interesting article.

There is definitely a need for practical, reusable heuristic patterns like this, and it’s good to see other people spreading wisdom as it is gained.

Later on this year, you should consider reading my upcoming book, “Designing the Obvious”. It is all about some of the same types of ideas found here, except it focuses more on proactive, application-level patterns found in many great web-based applications and discusses how to achieve them. The simple elimination of things implemented because of internal politics and such can make an application better by default, but there are many other factors that contribute more directly to the success of a project. Designing the Obvious discusses these things in depth.

Anyway, it should be out in September/’06, so keep an eye out for it.
