Make Your Website Work

Seminar overview

More and more companies are talking about website “usability” and “user experience”. In a competitive marketplace, providing a good user experience can be a key advantage. But what is the user experience? Is it really something you can design?

According to Gerry Gaffney, Director, Information & Design you can change the way you design and interact with users, without breaking the bank. In this seminar, Gerry will provide some basic techniques that you can use to understand your customers or users and importantly, how to apply the understanding in designing your products and services.

Paul Tyrrell, Director, RU Waiting will offer the client’s perspective and demonstrate how Gerry helped LinkMe (www.linkme.com.au) gain a better understanding of their users which lead to an improved design and a greater online experience that provided positive returns in revenue and customer loyalty.
