More than Pretty — Using Page Flows to Influence the Development Process

Users want web experiences that deliver ease of use. When developing robust WordPress applications that go beyond basic websites, mapping page flows before the design and development phases can eliminate costly time overages and provide a clear roadmap for building functionality.

In this talk, we will cover:

— The difference between site flows, user flows, task flows and user journeys, and when to use each.

— How working with a user flow can help you design and build better forms that collect actionable and highly usable data.

— How user flows help both the development process by defining technical expectations and identifying how data is collected and stored.

— How developing detailed microinteractions before the design and development phase can cut down on client ‘gotchas’ cutting down on changes and making subsequent project phases flow smoothly.
