October 11, 2019 — The Gutenberg block editor gives us new and exciting possibilities to create visually rich content in WordPress using block-based authoring tools. But what if we don’t know how our content is going to be displayed? Joe will take a look at what happens when we make assumptions about the visual presentation of our content, based on the tools we use to create that content. He will explore the advantages and tradeoffs that come from keeping the structure of your content distinct from the presentation of that content, and look at examples of how we can maintain this separation while providing compelling visual authoring experiences for people using our custom authoring tools.

October 11, 2019 — The Internet was the promise of freedom of information, but it never promised the information would be truthful or objective. What was good for you yesterday, isn’t today. Fail fast, fail early, fail often, but filter the imperfections out of your Instagram. Cultivate your intuition, and fear nothing, but how can you be sure that your intuition isn’t a fight-or-flight response? Since the first time she was told she was ‘doing it wrong’, Jenny has been fascinated by the contradictions of ‘fact’ and ‘truth’ that shape how we view the world. Join her as she explores science, history, medicine, yoga, agile and more; and how these ideas affect us as individuals and as members of a rapidly growing community.

October 9, 2019 — On me demande souvent à quoi ressemble ma journée, comment j’ai fait pour être travailleur autonome, ensuite comment j’ai commencé à engager des employés avec aucun bagage de gestion de commerce ou de ventes et avec un “simple” DEP. Dans cette conférence, je présenterai les différentes étapes de mon parcours pour me lancer à mon compte, développer une clientèle fidèle et trippante, comment j’ai augmenter les revenus de l’entreprise en passant par mes bons coups et mes échecs. Je parlerai en plus de ma partie préférée de ma business, le branding et tout mon processus (vente, recherches, moodboard, conception, pitch).

Mes conférences sont toujours soupoudrée par du développement personnel. Si on ne se connaît pas, si on est pas alignés avec nos valeurs, c’est difficile d’avancer dans la bonne direction et de voir clair.

October 9, 2019 — When we think about UX, we’re often too focused on fonts, colors, and flow to think about microcopy – those small bits of text that guide users through almost every part of a web interface. These words may be tiny, but they can make a significant difference in the usability of your design and even affect your site’s conversion rates.

Key takeaways. In this talk, I will share copywriting and communication tips that will immediately improve your user interface microcopy, such as error messages and interface instructions, so your users experience less frustration and more delight.

Talk attendees will get a quick introduction to branding and communication principles, basic UX principles, and how to evaluate effective copy in website flows. They will also see real examples of before and after situations where simple changes made a big difference and how and where to apply the same changes to their own sites.

October 9, 2019 — Have you ever had a client insist on having admin access to their website? They own it, so they have that right…but how long did it take before they called you to fix what they broke once they logged in?

This talk will present several ideas for ways that we can do just that, including:

Helpful plugins
How to train a client in WordPress

Other tips for managing the client relationship

Attendees will leave with some good ideas and action items to better help clients help themselves…or not.
