Improving User Experience and Engagement

WordPress at its core makes it so easy to build a website people will enjoy visiting. And with 10’s of thousands of plugins and themes available it’s also easy to bloat our sites before we know what users need or even want. On top of all that SEO tactics, content strategies, and social media endeavors tend to make things even worse.

In this session you’ll learn how to build an MVP (minimal viable product). We’ll start by stripping out all the bloat, get rid of all those widgets and start with naked content. Then and only then we’ll start to methodically add features, as they are needed. You will be amazed how much your visitors enjoy just reading your content and engaging with you through simple solutions.

You’ll walk away with practical strategies around:
– Building content driven websites
– Gaining traction and increasing engagement
– Elegantly monetizing your blog
– Plus 5 experience tips that will make your website 1 of a kind

Let’s stop adding features for the sake of adding features, stop following exhausted advertising strategies, and start focusing on providing better experiences for people.
