Fisher – Project Manager, Ashley – Designer, Leon – Account Manager Fisher: Ash, the front page needs to be an overview of the whole site… Can you add in boxes for latest news, events and promotions? Ashley: I disagree; that would make the look and feel of the front page too complex and cluttered… it’s bad coming from a design stand point… Fisher: The client’s business is very much online so we need to showcase what’s available to the users in a birds eye view… Ashley: Can we just show case one of each of the latest items so that the site does not get too crowded? Leon: Hey guys, can I ask in the first place who are the target audiences? And what’s of value to them?

Editor's Notes
- Hi, I’m Leon (C.K.) Leong from Techsailor Group. Today, we’ll be talking about how design and business should go hand-in-hand.
- How close should design and business be integrated? As close as a newly-wedded couple!
- Web Designer Depot posed a very interesting question.
- First question: What’s the difference between art and design?
- The difference between art & design: Good art is interpreted, good design is understood.
- The difference between art & design: good art sends a different message to everyone, good design sends the same message to everyone.
- In project management, it’s well-known that there are constant disagreements between the various roles.
- Daily chronicles of a project team…
- We’re all driven by our individual mindsets.
- Let’s take a step back and look at the “spectators”….
- Second question: What’s the purpose of a design?
- To communicate and prompt-to-action
- Here’s what a user experience cycle look like.
- An example of Adobe’s Model…
- Here’s a REAL Techsailor example…
- Do you see the difference before….
- … and after?
- Market/Sell - Marry vision with audience Execution: Effective marketing taglines and media based on Vision/positioning and target audiences, Targeted Messages and Links Educate Availability of and easy access to information Execution: Effective information architecture for the contents and ease of navigation website wide Prompt-to-Action Motivate to do something Execution: “BIG RED BUTTONS!”, Contact Us manifestations Analytics Derive actionable insights But this is still largely Marketing.
- But what about… Social!!!
- Yet another REAL Techsailor example
- Do you see the difference in engagement level between this design….
- … and this design?
- There are many different ways of implementing more social elements to a site. These are but just some examples.
- That is Online Customer Engagement
