Personas and Developers

"What are Personas?"

"User personas are essentially fictitious characters that represent the various different types of people that visit your website."

"Personas enable you to experience your website through the eyes of another person, which will somewhat neutralize your subjectivity."

"And like characters in a movie, personas will be archetypes."
