On today’s episode we sit down with Steve Souders and Mark Zeman of SpeedCurve. We talk about the benefits that come from Developers and Designers working side by side, and how the users are often a key component in uniting these (and other) disciplines.

Mark discusses “perceived performance”, and we talk more about flowing the user experience over time, and some techniques on how to do that. We also talk about the difficulty in determining which metrics you should be measuring for your website.
