When down from the chimney there came such a clatter,
We all sprang from our chairs to see what was the matter.
Into the studio everyone ran in a flash,
Tearing open the curtains to reveal —
The glare of a street lamp illumined new-fallen snow,
But we could see naught in the swirling drifts below.
Then, what to our wondering eyes should appear,
But a UX designer, with a copy of Axure.
He had hi-fi wireframes, so polished and slick;
User journeys that promised a sale, oh so quick.
More rapid than eagles his personas they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
“Now, card sorts! Now, testing! Now, collaborative ideation!
On, standards! On, structure! On, eyetracking fixations!”
We built the Web site from the designs that he drew,
With a fine user experience and valid code, too.
The graphics were tight, while adding some spice,
And our elegant code loaded in a trice.
The pages, they flowed, and were found first by Google,
Our clients were happy—being typically frugal.
Our designer sprang into his ride, to his tools gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like a hot design missile,
And we heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight
“Happy browsing to all, and to all, a good site!”
