THINK ABOUT THE LAST PRODUCT
OR SERVICE YOU PURCHASED. DID
IT MAKE YOU HAPPY, FRUSTRATED
OR MEH?
WHAT IS USER
EXPERIENCE(UX)?
EVERY ASPECT OF THE USER'S INTERACTION WITH A PRODUCT,
SERVICE, OR COMPANY THAT MAKE UP THE USER'S PERCEPTIONS OF
THE WHOLE. USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN AS A DISCIPLINE IS
CONCERNED WITH ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT TOGETHER MAKE UP THAT
INTERFACE, INCLUDING LAYOUT, VISUAL DESIGN, TEXT, BRAND, SOUND,
AND INTERACTION. UE WORKS TO COORDINATE THESE ELEMENTS TO
ALLOW FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE INTERACTION BY USERS.
UXPA, Usability Body of Knowledge, Glossary
UX IS DEFINED AS..
ISNT THAT THE SAME
AS USABILITY?
Designing for WordPress: Using User Experience to tell a Strong Brand Story
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT
USABILITY IS NOT A SINGLE, ONE-
DIMENSIONAL PROPERTY OF A USER
INTERFACE. USABILITY HAS MULTIPLE
COMPONENTS AND IS TRADITIONALLY
ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FIVE USABILITY
ATTRIBUTES: LEARNABILITY, EFFICIENCY,
MEMORABILITY, ERRORS, SATISFACTION.
Jakob Nielsen, Usability
Engineering, 1993, p. 26
ITS MORE THAN THE THEME
YOU CHOOSE OR WHAT
COLOR TO DESIGN A BUTTON.
IT'S HOW USERS
 Read your blog
 Listen to or watch interactive content
 Navigate within your site
 Fill out forms
 Share posts to social media
TO BEGIN, CLEAR GOALS
MUST BE DEFINED
E-COMMERCE
MARKETING
INTERACTIVE
EACH SEGMENT REQUIRES A
DIFFERENT APPROACH AND HAS A
DIFFERENT AUDIENCE REACTION
KNOW YOUR
AUDIENCE.
NEVER INTERRUPT THE USER*
ASK YOURSELF IS THAT ON VISIT POP UP REALLY
IN THE USERS BEST INTEREST.
HOW DOES IT ALL
RELATE
USER EXPERIENCE + WORDPRESS + BRANDING + CONTENT
A STRONG BRAND
STORY HELPS TO
 Establish a community around your brand
 Evolve your offerings and reach
 Evangelize your brand more effectively
 Execute with intense collaboration
WITHOUT A STRONG BRAND STORY,
ATTEMPTS AT BUILDING A STRONG
PRODUCT OR USER EXPERIENCE IS
FUTILE
TOO OFTEN WE FOCUS MORE
ON EXECUTION BEFORE
DEFINING AND CLEARLY
COMMUNICATING THE
PRODUCT OPPORTUNITY OR
VALUE PROPOSITION.
A STRONG STORY
HELPS THE PRODUCT
 prevent scope creep
 prevent extended timelines
 prevent it going over budget
 prevent frantic feature reduction to match budgets
A STRONG STORY
HELPS THE TEAM
 to stop chasing tasks
 to not lose passion for their jobs
 prevent burnout
 overall job dissatisfaction
A STRONG STORY
HELPS USERS
 Not be confused by what they see vs their expectations
 Adopt the product better into their lifestyle
 Talk about it to their friends and share within their social
outlets
