Six Simple Steps to Better UX
At this quarter’s meeting we’ll go over a brief definition of user experience (UX) and why it matters, followed by six straightforward steps you can take to improve the UX on your department website. We’ll also leave some time for open discussion and one-on-one consultation about specific content issues you’d like to address.

Hope to see you there!
