Design Strategies: Our Process for Building User-centered Websites

Designing a website can be a very complicated process with a lot of stages depending on the size of the site you are building. But with a user-centered strategy, grounded in best practices, you will be set-up for success.

In this session, we will guide you through the strategies we use and the basic steps needed for a clean, user-friendly website that is based in user research and design best practices.

What we'll cover:

  • Research
  • Defining Audiences (based on real people you know directly or indirectly)
  • User Surveys
  • Using Data to Understand Users
  • Developing Personas
  • Identifying Motivations
  • Designing Persona-based Information Architecture
