Level:

Panel

Presenter:

Lance Loveday, Closed Loop Marketing

Description:

Most organizations get in their own way when it comes to online, obsessing about things that don’t matter and virtually ignoring things that do. Using examples from the brilliantly sublime to the jaw-droppingly stupid, we’ll discuss and demonstrate simple changes anyone can make to juice their online results.

I love it - consider this a 5-star panel for me. Consider it an instructional course for clients to learn how NOT to ruin their own projects.

This would be super-entertaining AND instructive. 5 stars.

Excellent concept. Wish I could send all my clients here. 5 stars for sure.

Lance is a brilliant guy - I can't wait for this one!

So true. How many times have we all seen clients fixate on virtually useless content? This is exactly the type of education our clients and future clients need. I agree, 5 stars.

I look forward to attending this...5 stars.

Sounds practical -- like something we struggle with all the time. 5 stars.

With today's short attention span users, eliminating distractions and putting effort into what matters is invaluable.

This topic is at the heart of it all. Good taste and common sense, regarding so many matters of design, seem to have been eroded by the rebirth of design into the realm of the web. We are starving for tips on how to be kick-ass again. Speaking of kick-ass, I just saw Lance at Web Design World in Seattle and the man really knows his stuff.
