I love this blog, Designing Better Libraries, about applying design thinking to library services and settings. This particular post lays out a few design principles that clicked with the LibGuides swimming around in my brain. Among the principles, originally discussed in the context of presenting, but easily applicable to the world were about to plunge into:
--Put yourself in their shoes.
--It's not about the tools, it's about the ideas.
--Embrace simplicity.
There's more, and each elaborated upon, but with simplicity and care for the reader. Read more!

I love that you're trying to think this way. UW Libraries has a set of personas that we created to help us make better choices for our web content. It was mainly intended for use by PWOG for the overall site, but is certainly also useful to anyone creating web content for our users. It's on Staffweb linked with the other web publishing stuff.
