Beaconfire Presents Webinar for World Usability Day
On November 14, 2006 Beaconfire will hold an online event for nonprofit
organizations to promote this year's World Usability Day theme, "Making
Life Easy."
Beaconfire will present a "Webinar" to review the Web sites of three
nonprofits focusing on current nonprofit Web best practices in navigation,
screen allocation and calls to action. The discussions will cover:
- navigation
- screen allocation (brand vs. content vs. calls to action)
- calls to action (frequency, placement and logic)
- labels
- pages titles
- content
Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to sign up to be reviewed at
this event. This will not be a critique but a review of current
nonprofit Web
best practices. If you are interested in volunteering
your Web site to be
reviewed, please register as soon as possible. In
order to provide the most detail, the review will be limited to three Web
sites.
Event attendees will be invited to ask questions
during and after each discussion. Please register to attend this online
event as
soon as possible. Attendance is limited.
About World
Usability
Day
On November 14, 2006, in towns and cities
around the world, life
will be a little easier. That is the goal
of World Usability Day, an
initiative of the Usability Professionals’
Association (UPA), as it kicks off
its second annual global series of
events on the benefits of usability
engineering and user-centered
design. The events – more than 135 in 35
countries – will
demonstrate that the things we interact with and experience
every day
can work better. Crossing cultural boundaries and bringing together
people from cities like New York City and London to far-reaching
regions like
Philippines, Iceland, Paraguay and New Zealand, the events
will be hosted by
thousands of individuals and volunteers from
corporations, organizations,
universities and will focus on
accessibility and inclusion.
