Stu Charlton & Joel Mitchell Good people of UX, we think you are missing a trick.
Your users don’t like waiting. But site speed is low on your list of priorities and they are frustrated. Plus, you’re letting the devs have all the fun. But it doesn’t have to be like that. We know you care. So here’s a primer on the subject of speed, for anyone involved in the planning, design or delivery of a website or app.
We’ll show you how you can make a big difference and turn that frustration into delight. We’ll lightly cover:
You’ll use a speed testing tool to see how your site measures up. And we’ll help you identify some quick wins to put into action. It will be fun. See you there. We’ll set you up to make site speed a feature.
