Length: 90 minutes (with Q&A)
You can learn a lot about user experience design by studying how other websites, even in other industries, solve usability challenges.
How do you balance organizational objectives with users' wants, needs, and motivations? What influence does UX have on users' willingness to convert? Which design inconsistencies and usability problems cause users the most headaches?
Using data from our latest usability study "The Skinny on Celebrity Spokeslosers", Angela Schmeidel Randall, CXO of Normal Modes and lead researcher on this usability study, will teach you UX pitfalls and solutions that are common to any website or application.
Identify and avoid UX pitfalls common to any application
Why not learn from others' mistakes?
- See how users struggle with poorly designed navigation.
- Understand how poor UX generates avoidable support calls, increasing operating costs.
Discover new ways to effectively use video to explain ideas to your customers
Video can be a great way to explain new ideas.
- Learn the do's and don't's of video.
- Understand how video fits into the user's buying process.
Design for users from a variety of backgrounds
It can be a challenge to provide a consistently good UX to the general consumer.
- Account for demographic differences of your users in your designs.
- Create a UX that caters to your target demographic without alienating others.
If your development team is struggling to improve the UX of your website or application, you can't afford to miss this webinar.
