Craig Lucas posted Emphasizing the elements of User Experience

How does one do so when business stakeholders just don't want to listen and want things rushed. This is a common problem working as developers. I liked Jesse's point about how your website needs to be treated like a product. How does one emphasize that way of thinking

Jeri A Hastava: Annabelle's Bar & Bistro is another great restaurant just a short block from the Palomar. Open late. Great happy hour. Great food. http://www.annabelles.net/
