Creating Customer-Centric Websites - Nov 28-29, 2007 in Ottawa

Posted in Events, Web Design by SEO Ottawa on the September 20th, 2007

Masterclass presented by Gerry McGovern, World-renowned Web content and usability expert

Overview

Why the key to success for your website is a relentless focus on the tasks of your customers—and how to do it

This Masterclass will give you the tools and the arguments to show why a customer-centric approach is the best way to serve customers in Canada—whether they are citizens, potential customers or your own staff. The future of Web management is task management—and this Masterclass will give you the road map to achieve it.

People are driven to your website because they have a task to complete. They want to:

* Find an expert in global warming
* Book a hotel
* Start a business
* Compare laptops and buy one of them
* Find the phone number for tech support
* Buy tickets for an event
* Complete a tax return
* Apply for a grant or funding
* Find out relevant laws and regulations

Managers who look after the top websites in the world are changing their focus. They are not managing content. They are not managing technology. They are not managing websites. They are managing tasks.

If you are managing technology, content or websites, you are managing from an organization-centric point of view. If you manage tasks, you are managing from a customer-centric point of view.

World Usability Day - November 8, 2007

Posted in Events, Usability by SEO Ottawa on the September 20th, 2007

World Usability Day is for everyone who’s ever asked questions such as “Why doesn’t this work right?” and “What am I supposed to do with this now?” World Usability Day aims to raise awareness and visibility of usability engineering and user-centered design. This year’s theme is Healthcare.

Whether you’re a usability professional or just an enthusiastic (or frustrated) user, each participant has a contribution to make in “making life easy”. Usable technology makes a difference to everyone, everywhere, around the world. We believe that every user has the right - indeed the responsibility - to ask that interactive products and services work better.

For more information about this year’s event in Ottawa, please contact Gord Hopkins at ouc-info@ottawausability.org or (613) 836-0660.
