A list of best-practices for conference organizers. Especially useful for first-time organizers, I guess.

Website

Things your website should clearly state / make accessible:

  • The core focus of your conf
  • Your core values
  • The (precise) location
  • The dates
  • Your programme, complete with speakers and their bios/pics

Don’ts of corporate e-mail address management

I keep having issues with client e-mail addresses that seem to have been intentionally designed by their IT dept to maximize error rates. I need to vent a bit, so here goes. Star if you can relate 😉

8 reasons why I want to punch your e-mail address policy authors in the face

E-mail addresses at your company…

  1. …don't use the full first or last names, making input confusing and error-prone  - they enforce a max length on one or more naming parts (e.g. with 7 max chars for last name, "David Somewhat" becomes dsomewha@, which looks and feels like a typo, and can't be guessed from prior conversation with John Foobar’s jfoobar@)  - they use oh-so-1990 trigrams (e.g. John Foobar is either jfo or jfr), which is collision-prone and results in numerous irregular overrides  - they separate the first and last name, but abbreviate one of them (e.g. d.somewhat instead of dsomewhat), which looks fugly.

En 2013, un site e-marchand pourrissime

Pour le LULZ ce soir, je teste le site marchand de la filiale FR d'une grande enseigne internationale. J'ai été tellement ébahi par le degré de fail que je me suis senti obligé de faire un compte-rendu, un tweet n'aurait pas rendu justice à un tel niveau de moisitude…

Ergonomie et mise en page

  • Le plus grand foutoir partout, avec une palme indétrônable pour tous les formulaires
  • Tous les Call-To-Action sont des textes sans mise en avant
  • Des fautes de frappe partout
  • En récap de commande (à consulter manuellement, affiché nulle part automatiquement après le paiement), les lignes de commande sont du texte brut au format "libellé quantité prix", tout collé. Tu as payé un produit "Toto" à 2,20€ ? Ça affiche en petit "Toto 1 2,20€", et donc tu lis "Toto 12,20€" et tu paniques :-)
  • Des tas de pavé de texte en Serif 10px…
