Intuitive and easy to use websites are forgettable because people do not remember what they do not notice. There is a science behind ensuring a user thinks less about how to use a site and more time focusing on what is on the site.

In my session, Designing Intuitive SharePoint Sites at the Ragan SharePoint 2010 for Corporate Communicators Summit, I’ll be breaking down the science of “easy-to-use” by demonstrating techniques and strategies that make your SharePoint site more intuitive to users.

You’ll learn:

• How to articulate and define “easy-to-use” (and how to measure it)
• Why your users do what they do
• Fundamentals and best practices in usability
• How to take advantage of current web conventions and patterns
• The relationship between visual design, psychology and user adoption
• How users are hard-wired to react to visual design
• How to use visual design to communicate your message, not just your brand

Jam-packed with examples, illustrations and “aha” moments – this session is intended for the non-designer tasked with implementing an easy-to-use and widely adopted SharePoint site. 

 The Corporate Communicators Summit is in Chicago, IL at the Microsoft Technology Center on April 3 – 4.
