Why User Experience?
Why is it important?
MODE EFFECT .com // @codyL // #wcoc
“User Experience” encompasses all aspects of the
end-user’s interaction with the company,
service, or products.
Why should User Experience
matter for us?
MODE EFFECT .com // @codyL // #wcoc
Because we are the builders.
We have the ability to create great things
for people who want to create
great things.
MODE EFFECT .com // @codyL // #wcoc
Our Experience Case:
Samaritan’s Purse
MODE EFFECT .com // @codyL // #wcoc
Our Experience Case
MODE EFFECT .com // @codyL // #wcoc
What the client needed:
!
1. To publish tons of video content.
2. Multiple responsive views for viewing

had to be optimal for end users.
3. 3rd party video integration.
!
MODE EFFECT .com // @codyL // #wcoc
What did we learn
!
1. Automation was key for publishing.
2. Users needed multiple levels of access.
3. End-users needed to take action by

feeling emotion.
!

!

2. Gets a theme
3. Puts together a few plugins
!
Then starts to hit a wall.
MODE EFFECT .com // @codyL // #wcoc
User Misconceptions
!
Because it’s designed well, it’s built well.
Because it’s developed well, it should be designed well.
WordPress is easy for everyone to use or build with.
!
!
MODE EFFECT .com // @codyL // #wcoc
What should Randy do?
!
1. Learn to code?
