I will be presenting about “discount usability” next week at the Columbus Digital Adobe User Group. Come for food and networking opportunities and stay for 2 presentations about usability and accessibility.

The gist of my presentation: With a little elbow grease, you can figure out where the biggest usability pitfalls are on your website. This type of analysis helps you identify areas where your site’s design is not performing as well as it could be.

Learn how to do it yourself. No need to hire an expensive usability lab to do this high ROI activity!

Place

6500 Emerald Parkway
4th Floor
Dublin, Ohio 43016

Schedule

6:10-7:00 pm: My usability presentation
7:10-8:00 pm: Accessibility presentation by Andrea Hill, Senior Developer at Resource Interactive
8:00 pm: Raffle for $2,100 worth of Adobe software

Hope to see you there!
