It’s hard to believe that the 2010 SXSWi panel picker for the is already up. It seems like just yesterday we were drinking at the Gingerman. Nick and myself have each proposed a panel and now it’s up to you.

The Ten Commandments of User Experience

50 word version: User experience is the result of your interactions with a product or service, specifically how it’s delivered and its related artifacts according to the design. In this presentation we will explain how following the ten commandments can boost your project’s ease of use, appeal, conversion rates, and more. Longer version: User experiences are your everyday experiences—anything from operating a car, to making a pot of coffee, to ordering a pair of shoes online. User experience is the result of your interactions with a product or service, specifically how it’s delivered and its related artifacts according to the design. In this presentation Nick Finck and Raina Van Cleave will explore the ten characteristics of a great user experience. They will cover all aspects of user experience design such as user research, information architecture, information design, technical writing, interaction design, visual design, brand identity design, accessibly, usability and web analytics. Nick and Raina will also explain how following the ten commandments can boost your web sites, web app, or mobile app’s ease of use, appeal, conversion rates, and more.

Designing for the Mobile Web, Now

The launch of Apple’s iPhone in the summer of 2007 has prompted designers to re-think the way we design and distribute content for the emerging mobile marketplace. This panel will explore the opportunities and challenges of mobile design from mobile web to mobile apps by providing you with a solid understanding of the best practices to meet the demands of mobile-savvy users.
