July 21:
Austin Govella on Liquid UX
Designing Content, Navigation, and Interactions for Highly Dynamic Sites
How do you create an effective user experience in the midst of rapid changes in users and content? On Tuesday, July 21, Austin Govella, co-author of Information Architecture: Blueprints for the Web, will help answer that question for us.
The challenge with users is that they’re never the same person twice. Your website is the same way: it’s never the same site twice. Designing a user experience that responds to both changes in your users and changes in your site isn’t hard, but it gets complicated quickly.
In this presentation we’ll use a ton of real-world examples to understand the issues you need to keep in mind when creating highly dynamic websites, and we’ll walk away with checklists for managing ever-changing and inconstant content and users. Once we know how to think about and design liquid sites, we’ll look at some best practices for communicating multiple conditions and states to stakeholders and developers.
