The Boagworld Ux Show

[S02E02] This week on the boagworld show we look at defining your target audience and identifying their goals, activities and tasks.

[S02E01]: Before you can create an effective website you need to know what you are trying to achieve, how you are going to measure success and what you want from users.

To mark the end of season one of the Boagworld Show we recorded a live special from SXSW in Austin Texas.

(S01:E06) As website owners how do we drive high quality traffic to our websites that will generate the return on investment we need?

(S01:E05) Too many websites are just left to rot. If you want your website to generate a return on investment you need to continually refine it.

(S01:E04) Everybody seems to go on about calls to action. They offer obvious benefits to your business, but what about your users?

(S01:E03) Although business objectives should be your sites number one goal, ignoring users would be a mistake. Happy users are a prerequisite of a successful website.

(S01:E02) What is the point of making changes to your website if you have no real way to tell whether it is an improvement or not? Stop guessing. Start measuring.

(S01:E01) As website owners we like to talk about the importance of business objectives but I suspect we talk the talk, rather than walk the walk.
