Chicago, IL, June 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- e-Spirit has been taking part at the Web Content Conferences in Chicago on June 15-16. On the second day of the event CEO Joern Bodemann held a presentation on “Usability Matters… Or, Why On Earth Did They Design It That Way?”.
Modern content management systems offer a lot of functionality but only parts of it are being used by the actual users. This is the same with almost all modern technological devices and software. This presentation showed the results of the e-Spirit usability research seen from a broad perspective. By using astonishing simple and very funny real world examples Joern Bodemann explained how the user expectation can be matched to software design. The results can be applied to all kinds of software. Attendees learned that users are not looking for intelligent design of user interfaces anymore but for “cool design”. Bodemann discussed why this has changed and what “cool design” is these days. He furthermore presented the thesis that users don’t have a usability “problem” with software in specific, but with technology in general – we as users have already accepted this in a lot of areas but not in the area of software.

Speaker: Joern Bodemann, CEO, e-Spirit
