	Before FedEx Shipment Manager (View full size) What's wrong with this screen? Unclear which sections you must fill in before submitting the form Features indirectly related to the shipment process (i.e. adding to address book, sorting address book) are shown in-line with form elements, adding confusion Address book pull-down automatically refreshes the page regardless of whether you click the "Apply" button There is no Address Book feature for senders To ship even 2 packages, you have to refresh the page Linked form labels jump you out of the process, inviting you away from the task of shipping A "Cancel Shipment" button at the bottom of the page could spell disaster if accidentally clicked View original FedEx page...

	37Better Q&A How do you choose which sites to redesign? Like you, we at 37signals spend a lot of time using the web to save time and make our lives easier. Occasionally, we come across a site that does just the opposite, leaving us frustrated and confused. From these experiences, we rebuild the interfaces the way we think they should work. Do these companies hire you for this work? No. 37signals is not contracted to build these interfaces. Our hope, however, is that companies we examine will learn from the mistakes we point out and improve their sites for all of their customers. Will you look at our site? If you like what you see in these examples and would like to hire us for a redesign or a review of your site's usability, please contact us for more information.
