Session description
Redesigning a university website is a hard enough prospect when you think of all the stakeholders, egos, and politics at play. How does strategy ever even have a chance to get off the ground? Joel Goodman and a small team spent the first half of 2018 working with National University to redesign their institutional website.
When launched that November, the resulting data validated a controlled approach to product design and development. In this session, we'll dive into the finer points of conversion rate optimization, governance structures, marketing automation, and data analytics — all geared at designing beautiful and performant websites.
