Design, Theming and User Experience (UX) form the foundation of all interactions on the web and requires consideration beyond the web. These interactions include off-screen/non-web interactions the user may have had with your company or product or the environment in which they’re interacting with the web. It’s inherent in all aspects of production - from strategy and content creation to design and development. Let’s talk about the technologies and procedures that are in use in today’s Front End development: preprocessors, build automation, JS and CSS architecture, new template systems and client-side applications. Whether you identify yourself as a Designer, Themer, UX practitioner or not, any part of the web that you touch affects the user’s experience. Conceptual thinkers, strategists, decision makers, content creators, designers and developers are encouraged to present topics on their area of expertise.
