London Web Meetup - Cennydd Bowles from ClearLeft speaking on User Experience. Cennydd is soon to be releasing a book on this subject so he's well versed in the very latest best practices. Once you catch the user experience bug, the world changes. Doors open the wrong way, websites don’t work, and companies don’t seem to care. Fortunately, anyone can learn the UX remedies – usability testing, personas, prototyping and so on – but, unless your organization 'get it', putting them into practice is trickier. This session will show you how to do great UX work with tiny budgets, no time, and even without official clearance.
