Write about the future you want (Dave Rupert) — “Often people need you to show, not tell the alternative. You need to paint a picture. Not a full complete picture, but one where a person can paint themselves in it. When people want change and bad change is happening all around them, that’s a hopeless place.

That means streamlining flows, reducing cognitive load, and writing more appropriate copy, but user experience goes far beyond the interface. Our users’ experiences begin with their first request to our servers. In this intensely practical session, Aaron will explore the ins and outs of page load performance by showing how he made the web site of the 10K Apart meet its own contest rules, by having a site that was functional and attractive even without JavaScript, and was less than ten kilobytes at initial load.
