We’ve been gratified by the high level of interest in and enthusiastic response to this Web magazine.

Are you thinking about contributing an article to UXmatters? We’ve so far been fortunate to have some very well-known UX professionals contribute columns and articles to UXmatters, but what you have to say matters more than whether you’ve made a big name for yourself. If you have something important to communicate to the UX community, this is a great place to do it. We are particularly interested in connecting with industrial designers who would be interested in contributing articles or a column on industrial design.

Please help us to ensure that UXmatters meets the needs of the UX community by contributing articles, volunteering to work on the UXmatters team, and joining in discussions of user experience matters by making comments on articles. Let’s make the UX community and the UXmatters community one and the same! Join us, because user experience matters!
