The Silicon Valley WebGuild - a Chapter of the Association of Internet
Professionals (06)
June 12, 2002 main meeting.
Topic:
"Scent of a Web Page - Getting Them to What They Want" (07)
Who:
Jared Spool - founder of User Interface Engineering (08)
What:
You work hard providing top-notch content on your site. But will users find
it? If they don't find it, all that effort is for nothing. What can you do to
guarantee that users find the content they've come looking for? In this
entertaining and informative presentation, Jared Spool will show the latest
research in how designers control whether users find their content or not.
He'll show how sites do better when they prevent users from needing the
search engine. He'll also show how exposing the site hierarchy can increase
the success of the user. Jared will show you the secrets behind successful
designs from Lands' End, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, and the BBC.
You'll see sites where users who say they always use the on-site search
engines didn't even notice when Search was missing. And you'll see how to
best use lateral links, bread crumbs, and next and previous. All based on
up-to-the-minute research on how users actually navigate sites. (09)
