... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Fusco, Marc E. and Burkhart, Brenda J. (1995): Developing a Multimedia Presentation: Our First Experience. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. p. 944.

We recently completed a multimedia presentation for a technical seminar. This was our first experience integrating a variety of media techniques into one system. During this process we found that our background, designing Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for engineering software systems, helped us in designing and producing the multimedia presentation. We were able to apply many of the same user-centered design (UCD) processes that we have used in specifying and designing standard GUIs. During this project we established a set of guidelines for developing a multimedia presentation based on our experience. We believe that this set, which may not be entirely complete nor applicable to all multimedia projects, is a useful approach for efficient design and development of a multimedia presentation of the kind we have undertaken. This paper communicates the set of guidelines and our observations and experiences that we envision may be useful for others performing similar tasks. Guidelines using the following categories will be reviewed: project management -- resources and schedules, system requirements -- hardware/software platform, specification of structure, interaction, navigation and media, intended audience -- identification, and design and production -- content definition and structure, storyboards, scripts, graphic design, and video and sound production.

Fusco, Marc E. and Katz, Robert B. (1992): Catch a Rising Tone: Selecting a Tone for a New Calling Service. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 227-231.

The tone used in the new service Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) must be reliably detected by customer premises equipment (CPE), so that it can prepare to receive caller ID data, and it should alert customers to new calls but without being annoying. To help select a tone, the first experiment of this study examined the acceptability of a series of high-frequency dual tones that might be able to perform the required CPE signaling. Subjects were presented with the tones under circumstances in which they would typically be heard (while talking and listening over the telephone) and rated the sound quality of the tones. Long bursts of tones were presented as well as short bursts prepended or appended to the 440-Hz tone used in Call Waiting service. The results suggested that customers may find high-frequency dual tones acceptable. To determine acceptable parameters of tones, in the second experiment, subjects rated the loudness of selected tones as their length and power were varied.
