As designers and developers, we don’t always have access to research to about our end users, or the opportunity to learn about them. This can leave us building products based on our managers personal opinion, or client specifications, and never really knowing how we can serve our users better. But the good news is there are many opportunities for user research that most designers and developers just aren’t aware of. They are cheap, easy to implement, and can used straight away on almost any project. Lily will talk you through 3 methods of no excuse user research that you can use immediately on the websites, products, apps and services you work on every day.]]>

Design is no longer just the remit of designers. Everything from server infrastructure, to API design, to button interactions, to the colours in the branding can effect the user experience of the things we design and build. But when everyone on the project is making design decisions all the time, how can we ensure that they they’re the right decisions, and that when those decisions are made, everyone else is onboard? Lily will be talking about the qualities we need make design decisions successful, and what can happen when we struggle to motivate the people we work with to buy-in to the same approach.]]>

The users experience of the services and products we build is harder to quantify than it once was. Just a few years ago, the best we could expect was some printed marketing materials and a desktop-focused website. Now that experience is made up of a collaboration of responsive websites, apps, emails, push messaging, and interactive experiences across a multitude of interfaces and devices. Design is no longer just the remit of designers. Everything from server infrastructure to the colours in the branding can effect the user experience. So what does this new world look like for those of us who make design decisions every day?
