About the presentation
After Costa and his team decided they needed to upgrade the tedmag.com website, what decisions did they have to make in order to maximize this opportunity? They absolutely believed they needed to make the most of this first impression, but they also needed to built it with the end user in mind. The process included a number of difficult and essential decisions that, in the end, created a website that works on a variety of areas. What mistakes can you avoid, and maybe more importantly, what positive things should you enhance when re-designing a website? Costa will discuss all of it so you can be prepared for what should be your next and last re-design.
