Put A Label On It: Navigation As Brand--IA Summit 2018Jenny Benevento
The document summarizes a presentation by Jenny Benevento and Abby Covert on navigation as a brand at Etsy. It discusses the history of browsing at Etsy from 2005 to present day and the purposes of navigation. It also outlines lessons learned from experiments changing Etsy's category navigation, including that brand decisions should not be made by audiences and short term neutrality can enable longer term efforts. Data was analyzed on the impacts of navigation changes on sales and search engine optimization.
This document discusses various methods for prototyping, including low and high-fidelity prototyping. It emphasizes that prototypes should be used to test ideas with customers and learn about user needs rather than trying to build a perfect solution. Low-fidelity techniques like paper prototyping allow for quick, inexpensive prototypes to get early user feedback, while high-fidelity digital prototypes can test functionality and sellability. The overall message is that prototyping helps validate customer problems and test solutions through an experimental mindset of building just enough to learn rather than wasting resources on overdeveloped ideas.
The document summarizes the 10X Ambition program at the European Innovation Academy (EIA). It provides examples of successful startups that participated in past EIA programs, including Skype which was later acquired for $8.5 billion. The document outlines the goals of the EIA program, which include developing highly ambitious startups that aim to solve big problems and disrupt industries through creative destruction. It describes the 15-day acceleration program that provides mentoring, sessions with experts, and helps teams launch prototypes to acquire first customers. The overall message is that the EIA program helps startups achieve 10X ambitions through an experimental and risk-taking mindset.
This document discusses mistakes that can help you earn and learn, as well as things that lead to success like having an idea, passionate team, and execution. It also covers topics like technologies needed for web development, frameworks, marketplaces, resources for support, content management systems, freelancing, and the business side of starting a company. Specific technologies mentioned include HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, ASP.NET, Bootstrap, Laravel, Spring, WordPress, Joomla, and Magento. Charts and explaining ideas in simple terms are recommended. The presenter is Sajal Mustafiz, founder of Mistri Solutions.
