.Hack The Best UX: Silicon Roundabout Workshop

"It's the users, they just don't get it"

How often have you heard this or been the offender (yes, offender) who said this? You are not your users!

Are you experiencing any of these problems below?

• Issues retaining users

• User abandoning processes before completion

• Features not been used

• Poor/low user engagement

• Product is difficult to use

• End product from freelance developer does not match design or as imagined

• Users not converting

Or if you simply want to get ahead of the curve and understand how to design a better user interface, then this is for you.

In this 2 hour workshop specially designed non-Design Founders of tech businesses, things you'll learn include:

• How to use language for a better user experience

• How to design a better user journey

• How to design better user interactions

• How to design to make sure the user can actually complete the task

• How to use colour to encourage interaction

• How and when to use icons

By understanding some simple rules and principles of design and usability, you will be able to see obvious things that act as blockers for your users when they are interacting with your product.

This is an interactive workshop so we'll be going through example products and also be prepared to have your product reviewed.
