A well-designed interface can improve productivity, says Jakob Nielsen, co-founder of Nielsen Norman Group, a research firm in Fremont, California. A 2003 study he conducted found that when websites were redesigned to make them easier to use, their companies’ sales increased by 100 percent and productivity went up by 161 percent. While website and terminal design are not perfectly analogous, the results hint that Bloomberg has everything to gain from revamping its terminal’s look and feel.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.portfolio.com/culture-lifestyle/goods/gadgets/2007/07/09/Bloomberg-Terminals-Design">Nielsen points to the use of color, suggesting that dark text on a light background is easier on the eyes than the reverse.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.portfolio.com/culture-lifestyle/goods/gadgets/2007/07/09/Bloomberg-Terminals-Design">The competition—terminals from Thomson and Reuters</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D1D0B0E1-7BEE-431D-9A97-2E4A09940B2E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
