Chapter 56 Design Guidelines
Design Guidelines bring together various design objectives that factor into BigBusiness.
A consistent look and feel, similarity among tools, and powerful analogs for processes, make it easier to get BigBusiness to do what you want because all you want is built in.
For most operations and options, there are simple, powerful, and extended variations. Preferences for company and user offer another way for BigBusiness to come to you.
Full Docs
Full Docs just means we write down each change as it happens. This causes headaches for design but means we can deliver customization faster with standard documentation.
In the conversion to Big Business 14 there are many, many changes, fully documented. This proves worthwhile with issues like dark mode, which is automatic, to keep track.
Full Nine
Full Nine is our design objective that a new version include all the features you rely on.
For example, there are four Toolbar options in Big Business 13 and only two working in Big Business 14.21. With so much to convert this seemed the expedient solution.
Early adopters need to adapt, temporarily, but in due course we will convert the rest. Please let us know what oddities you encounter, particularly with colors and formats.
Zero Defects
Zero Defects promotes a user-centered design. The software should conform to users' expectations gleaned from outside sources and pursuant to a need for approachability.
No expectation is beyond the pale. Some may exceed practicality or budget or scope, which may simply be a timing problem, awaiting a service or offering to support them.
Every idea is worth a shot, to assess fitment, measure practicality, and envision result.
