Building a website isn't that hard. Anyone can buy a domain and throw up a few pages of content into a plug and play website builder, like WordPress, Wix or Squarespace, but building a website that people actually want to use and even enjoy using, that can be incredibly difficult. It takes research, patience, and a deep understanding of the customers' needs, motivations, and desires. User Experience isn't just about good design. It's a crucial part of your customer journey and something that can impact not only how your customers feel about your brand, but how you rank in Google. Kelly Goto is a designer and speaker with a focus on UX design and mobile ethnography. She's worked with brands like Netflix, Citrix, Hyundai, and Sony to develop exceptional user interfaces. And she's the author of Emotional UX, and of the classic book, Web Redesign 2.0. On this episode number 191, Kelly will be revealing some of the most effective strategies for streamlining your user experience, including expert tips on usability testing, and building user personas. Stay tuned because this episode is going to give you the tools to really get inside your customers' heads.

Dave Mitropoulos-Rundus returns to talk with Tim Keirnan about labels for our field. This continues our long-running friendly discussion about what we call our profession and why, and is there a difference--or should there be--between User Experience and Customer Experience? Dave appreciates the terminology differences whereas Tim wonders why we make such fine distinctions when at the root level we're all "Designers of Stuff". Kelly Goto's excellent 2018 article: https://www.gotoresearch.com/2018/04/11/x-marks-the-spot-in-experience-design-thinking-ux-vs-cx-vs-service-design/ Jared Spool's excellent article published the day we recorded this episode. I think Jared's a mind reader! https://articles.uie.com/ux-and-cx-same-language-different-dialects/ NOTE: Tim regrets interrupting Dave too much in a shocking lapse of bad hosting etiquette...he was hopped up on cough syrup at the time of this recording, which you can hear in his deep head cold voice breaking worse than Peter's in that episode of The Brady Bunch. https://tv.avclub.com/the-brady-bunch-dough-re-mi-1798222209
