April 30, 2019 — Of je gebruikers nu je pagina’s lezen, je product gebruiken, of door je website navigeren: er is één gouden regel. Wat je maakt moet helder en begrijpelijk zijn voor je publiek. Dit klinkt simpel, maar blijkt in de praktijk verrassend lastig. Gebruikers worden afgeleid. Haken af op moeilijke woorden of vakjargon. Raken gefrustreerd door functionaliteiten die niet intuïtief zijn. En geven het op. Vaak heeft dit te maken met de manier waarop mensen omgaan met nieuwe informatie.
In deze presentatie laat ik zien hoe we leren en informatie verwerken, zodat jij het gat tussen jou en je gebruikers kunt dichten. We bekijken wat wij bij Yoast hebben gedaan om onze producten duidelijker en bruikbaarder te maken. En je krijgt veel praktische tips die je meteen op je eigen site of product kunt toepassen.

April 27, 2019 — Before joining Dow Jones as a Lead Software Engineer, I built almost a dozen websites valued at over $100,000 each. Many people asked me how I did this and what I included. They’re surprised to learn it wasn’t just code.

I’ll cover case studies as a teaser – MakerBot.com, TodayTix.com, Wibbitz.com.

From speaking to hundreds of biz owners I have created a blueprint for building sites for small biz that have $100k in value (that they have not even thought of). I will share the blueprint in a non-technical & technical way.

Example: Website support feedback loops. Immediate feedback on support submissions, ticket tracking, CRM integration, & More.

Key Takeaway: How to build & sell websites beyond just a WordPress install and deliver up to $100,000 in value.

This is for people trying to sell these sites or business owners trying to understand what a $100k site looks like.
