User Experience for Web Design
This course teaches me how to apply some simple interaction design principles to a site to make it behave in the way that users expect and enjoy. Chris covers the key things people want from web sites, how they search for information, how they read online, and how to structure your content to take advantage of this. He shows you how to use graphics to help rather than hinder visitors, how to integrate video, audio, and other media, and when to consider interactive rather than static content. He also discusses the importance of seeing your site’s home page, forms, product pages and content through users’ eyes in order to build a site that better meets their needs.
