Seminars

Our seminars are a chance to hear about and discuss the latest trends in usability. You’ll be among web managers and product managers from blue-chip companies to share experience or take notes on customer experience. Plus you’ll get a chance to go hands-on with some new and unusual devices.

Bespoke seminars

Is there a subject your team or organisation would like to understand better? Would you like to create a bespoke seminar with us to get the most appropriate and useful information for your company? We can tailor a schedule to fit your needs whether you need a morning workshop overview, or a three day in-depth exploration of an aspect of user centered design. These seminars can take place at your offices or at a more convenient venue for your attendees.

Last seminar: The web in 2008 - what you need to know, 23 January 2008

Well presented, questions answered directly. Enjoyable and informative. Great value for money! Seminar attendees

Our first seminar was a sell-out attended by some of the Web’s biggest brands and most innovative companies. We’re preparing our next seminar for 16 January 2008 - along with some special events.

Successful online communities

Something is happening to your online ‘audience’. They are commenting, rating, blogging, recommending, linking and talking. Adding community features to a web site can make it more useful, more engaging, and can significantly raise its search engine rankings.

We’ll explain the key points in any project and what you can add to your project plan to ensure that usability doesn’t get left off the agenda. Plus the top five objections to user centred design - and how to counter them.

Designing for mobile interfaces

Why? Because manufacturers are falling over themselves to produce devices to compete with the buzz surrounding the iPhone, data tariffs are affordable and a generation that has grown up with mobile is coming of age. It means a totally different approach to planning and designing user experiences. We share our experience.
