Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
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.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What do you mean by "suck"? (It's not what you think)
  2. How do you tell if you are mediocre? (If you have to ask...)
  3. What are the underlying characteristics of the best sites?
  4. What do the worst sites have in common?
  5. What strategies work?
  6. How about some real-world examples?
  7. What role does organizational structure play in online success or mediocrity?
  8. What kind of results can we expect from making these changes?
  9. Why hasn't the business community gotten on board with this yet?
  10. What makes some web sites better than others?

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.

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.

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.

big companies don't give lot of importance to their online projects and ruin their projects at the end

My knowledge of CSS and IE increased 200% as a result of Estelle's knowledge. If IE is Cthulhu, then Estelle is H.P. Lovecraft.

Money is always there but the pockets change; it is not in the same pockets after a change, and that is all there is to say about money.
