"50% of potential sales are lost from a site as users can't find data and 40% of users do not return to a site when their first visit is a negative experience" I basically specialise in designing so that this doesn't happen to your site!

my site: www.keepitusable.com

web design - we design sites that your customers will find easy to use and persuasive.This means we use design methods to get your customers to look at and click on the things you want them to click on, which in turn increases your sales/roi.

usability - if you already have a website, then we can perform a usability review or user testing (research with real users) whereby we can identify the weaknesses in your site where you may be losing customers / visitors. We will then suggest design changes you can make immediately to not only stop this from happening but to actively persuade visitors to your site to perform certain actions. For example if you want visitors to primarily check out your latest offer, we can use persuasive design to increase the click through rate to this page. In turn this increases your conversion, sales and roi.

The visitor economy is a vital and vibrant part of the wider economy both locally and of the UK as a whole. The latest figures for 2006 from the NWDA showed visitors generated £11.6 billion for the North West region alone. The UK as a whole is committed to improving the visitor business and leisure experience whether it is through public sector legacy projects or retail improvement initiatives.

It will cover how to market your work to buyers and work within its market constraints. So if you are a designer-maker or visual artist who has ever wondered just how to get your work into some of the most visited craft and design arenas in the UK, this workshop will show you how.

Those practitioners with the skills to deliver to the demands of an area’s visitors will be in a strong position to take advantage of the opportunities available. The assembled speakers all have strong knowledge and experience of working on or are recruiting for current visitor projects.

Speakers will include:
Helen Palmer, Palmer Squared. A cultural and tourism marketing specialist
Sarah Thirlwell, Designer (www.sarahthirlwell.com)
Marcus Chase, Principle Manager Enterprises & Performance, Manchester Art Gallery. Part of an NWDA funded project to raise the standard of buying for all North West visitor outlets.
