When I meet people and tell them I build custom apps in FileMaker, the number of people who recall the platform from years and years ago with a nostalgic smile is impressive. Perhaps the loyalty FileMaker users have toward the platform is an important reason Claris FileMaker has thrived for so long. Along with PowerPoint and Microsoft Word, FileMaker stands with some of the few software applications nearing 40 years old. It has become a software platform that has stood the test of time. But in today's age, your FileMaker Pro database management system is no longer a stand-alone solution. It needs to become the hub to connect your existing business applications and integrate them with custom solutions in the cloud.
Before understanding the importance of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) in custom software design, we first need to understand that these concepts - often used interchangeably as UI/UX - are two distinct areas. It is wise to approach the concepts of UX and UI design independently, though they will both be vital to a successful final product.
One of our goals as we’ve grown through the years is to be able to hire a person to coordinate the planning and implementation of our online presence, connection with our clients, and our marketing efforts. We are delighted to welcome Kim Nellans on board as our Digital Content and Marketing Coordinator.
Kim has an extensive background in web design and front-end development, including her web design business Tiny Zen Studio, and is currently pursuing further studies in the areas of user interface and user experience. Stay tuned for an in-depth blog post from Kim on that topic this summer. In the meantime, read along to hear from Kim about her personality, her story, and her philosophy in life. Welcome, Kim!
