Rather than blog about every session I attended at Internet Librarian, I’m just going to just focus on the ones I thought were the most interesting.
Designing the Digital Experience
presented by David Lee King.
David told us that basically this is a 30 minute, presentation version of his book by the same name (which I had heard about before and was why I wanted to attend this session).
There are three paths to the experience:
Structure – Create an experience by making the website easier to use. A well designed experience should stay out of the users’ way. You should focus on developing parts of your site that users visit often. Don’t spend too much time on things users only do once a year. Look at your website with a critical eye, think about what would make people stumble. Figure out goals from there, don’t forget the “don’t make them think” philosophy.
