Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor
Baltimore, MDDear Web Professional:
The statistics say it all: A recent study on Internet use reported that 28 percent of experienced users had difficulty finding what they wanted at a typical Web site offering e-commerce. Just imagine what kind of luck relatively new users had...
The truth is, your organization can spend tons of money and far too much effort building a cool web site with all the bells and whistles - only to produce dismal results.
A well-designed Web site instantly boosts your organization's image. A lousy one can blow it...
So how do you design a Web site that attracts buyers instead of browsers? How do you create a site that makes you money instead of costs money?
Those are tough questions, but we've got the answer: Web Design 2000. This exclusive, state-of-the-art conference gathers some of the industry's most knowledgeable experts under one roof to offer proven solutions to today's most complex Web design challenges.
You'll start the day with a fast-paced opening session where you'll see examples of the best-designed, most phenomenally successful sites on the Web. Nothing like stealing a few ideas from the top design studios!
Then you'll choose four sessions from our tracked conference format featuring a wide variety of one-hour sessions and networking opportunities.
For relative beginners, we offer sessions in creating an effective Web site strategy, identifying critical content and avoiding the most common mistakes made in developing a site. Eager to get a jump on the latest Web innovations? Then for you we've planned sessions on the basics of JavaScript and the coolest new tools for Web developers. And regardless of your level of expertise in Web design, you want to drive traffic to your site! That's why we've also packed our agenda with sessions on how to get listed with search engines and how to build an online storefront.
Move from room to room or stay planted in one particular area of interest - the choice is yours. Imagine how much information you'll absorb from spending the day with Web design gurus who can answer all your questions! Plus, this conference gives you the rare opportunity to network with your peers in other organizations to find out which Web tools and strategies are working for them.
Why waste time and money flying clear across the country to attend a Web design conference when a once-in-a-lifetime event is taking place in your own backyard? You'll gain invaluable information on the hottest topics and coolest Web tools, learn from the experts, and meet others who face the same challenges you do, all in one day! This is the Web design event of the year in your area, so enroll today in Web Design 2000 - before your competitors fill up the seats!
Sincerely,
Sharon Yoder
