Findability and Usability: How Designing for Visibility Pays Off
Imagine spending millions coming up with an amazing product and then cloaking it for invisibility. So why is it then that so many Web sites—products themselves—are designed to be invisible to search engines, and ultimately potential customers? Findability is the first usability issue. If your site can't be found by a motivated user in search of your product or service it's WOI (Waste of Investment), opposite of ROI. So again, why are many sites cloaked? It's either lack of knowledge of search best practices or negligence on the part of creatives who believe designing for visibility somehow restricts doing great work. Rob Garner, strategy director, iCrossing will dive into how 'informed design' - based on insights gained from linguistic profiling, search data; knowing exactly where target customers are, how they're searching, speak, think, and plan - can create both a rich and engaging experience and be SEO friendly. Specifically, the presentation will focus on how building a Web site for search from the ground up - by incorporating market research and natural search strategy into the Web design and development process - can deliver solid results.
