Searched for the information on this theme, and only here I found it. It should be noted that when using the sequence pattern, a web
implementation usually provides an active state of the current step,
which isn’t appropriate in this case.

Sure, of course.

The most specific pattern is the sequence of steps to completion at the top (Tidwell 76). Here I just take the chronological order of the four steps and and lay them out left to right (as vertically would make reading the lowest one difficult and wouldn't be inherently clear if the first step should be on top or the bottom), and provide visual confirmation of what has been completed and what has yet to be finished.

Less specifically, but still regarded as a design pattern (Tidwell 100), is the visual framework of the page. I moved the expected delivery date to the first row of the summary of data, and bolded the text to emphasize its importance.

I then used the alternating row colors to distinguish one row from another, and didn't bother retaining the bold "In transit" that UPS bolds. Simply put, I've already seen that the package is in transit (especially since it's not here yet), and it's not as important as the expected delivery date.

It should be noted that when using the sequence pattern, a web implementation usually provides an active state of the current step, which isn't appropriate in this case.

If I added "In Transit", that text would look unique from the completed steps and the steps that are yet to be completed. However, if the package has been picked up, and yet to be delivered, most people will understand that package is on its way.

Hope that helps!
Chris

You said you used simple design patterns. Could you describe what patterns you used and how you applied them?

Thanks for checking it out, Jared.

It’s definitely not rocket surgery, but it seems like it solves a few problems…
