Digital Skills for Heritage
A Beginner's Guide to
User Experience – by Supercool
At Supercool we create websites and digital strategies for arts, cultural, and heritage organisations all over the UK. We know it can be tricky for you to keep up with digital terminology and tech developments, particularly when you’re busy welcoming visitors.
That's why we've put together this handy Beginner's Guide to User Experience (PDF 170KB) – to help you get-to-grips with the basics of User Experience (UX), provide you with useful tools to measure the effectiveness of your current website, and start making decisions about UX improvements.
This FREE UX guide gives you:
- An understanding of what ‘User Experience’ means in the context of your organisation’s website
- An overview of terminology, so you feel confident in discussions with colleagues – and your digital agency
- Tools for reviewing User Experience on your own website
- Straightforward ways to improve User Experience
