A usable website is more than just metrics and user testing.
Usable websites include:
– a clear, consistent design
– strong, clear navigation and
– engaging and useful content
And a well-configured content management system (CMS) can significantly help you with all three elements.
Join the Web Content Mavens as we discuss how to develop a strong content strategy and support excellent user experience – all within a web content management system.
Whether you use WordPress, Drupal, Sitecore, another web CMS or are still evaluating options, you’ll learn about how you can leverage the CMS environment to create and manage content more effectively and evaluate and improve user experiences.
Topics options include:
• Overview of user experience (UX)
• How to work within a CMS to improve UX
• Identifying website UX issues (via user testing)
• Approaches to design and formatting
• Developing content strategy within a CMS environment
• Selecting a new CMS with UX as a focus
• Content migration
Who should come?
If you are an author in a CMS, you’ll learn!
Beyond that, we have sessions of specific interest to content, marketing and web managers, others with responsibility for websites or other digital properties, user experience specialists interested in CMS and CMS/IT managers.
