Designing for global audiences: The whats, whys and hows
Whether or not the product you’re creating is currently only being sold in one country (e.g. the UK), it’s always crucial to design and build it with global audiences in mind.
Many businesses are convinced that designing for other markets means copying their successful business model in the home country. They believe that localisation is about translation. They design their products without properly understand what changes are needed and why they are needed.
This workshop is about changing these inaccurate perceptions. We will also explore different techniques you can use to understand and design for users in different markets.
Whether you’re a UX consultant, designer, developer or product manager, you will leave the session with practical tips on how you can go about designing for global audiences.
