Web Design & Usability: The Key to Retail Web Success

When it comes to conferences, Internet Retailer is best known for its Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition held each June—the world's largest e-commerce show, which last June drew 4,824 attendees from all segments of the e-commerce market.

Our third annual Web De...sign & Usability 2010 Conference will be one-fifth that size, but for the niche market it serves—managers who have direct control over the marketing and operations of a retail web site—Web Design 2010 may be even more beneficial than IRCE. That's because IRWD 2010 is the only conference focused solely on retail web design and usability topics—how shoppers use different retail sites, how retail web sites must operate to fit those usage patterns and how sites must be designed to satisfy the unique needs and browser behavior of online shoppers. More than any other set of Internet skills, understanding the fundamentals of good retail web design is the key to growing online sales.

Those who attend IR's Web Design & Usability Conference are hungry for practical information on web designs that work, and judging from the rave reviews IRWD 2009 got from attendees, this show more than satisfies that hunger. This is not a sit-back-and-passively-listen conference. It's a roll-up-sleeves-and-get-down-to-details conference that features a lot of give and take between attendees and speakers. There's a lot of show-and-tell, too, and attendees are encouraged to participate in lively sessions where their own web sites can be reviewed by our expert speakers and where they can critique sites of fellow web merchants.

Another feature of our Web Design & Usability 2010 Conference that sets it apart are the two free private consultation sessions—30 minutes each—that attendees get with retail web design experts. In these scheduled meetings, retail web design consultants review each attendee's web site in advance and are prepared to provide detailed tips on how to improve the site's design and operability and increase its online revenue. IRWD attendees regularly report that these design consultations alone make the cost of attending this conference worth it.

So, if you're responsible for the performance of a retail web site and you want to vastly improve that performance by interacting with expert web design speakers, scheduling private meetings with design consultants, participating in sessions critiquing different web designs and networking with your peers in the only exhibit hall focused exclusively on web design solutions, this is a show you should not miss.

Come join us in Orlando on February 15-17. The Hyatt Grand Cypress is a fabulous resort hotel offering our conference attendees great rooms for only $199 per night—33% off the normal seasonal rate. Your registration fee includes all breakfasts and lunches during the show and a festive Networking Dinner Party.
