Designers of the digital world are constantly challenged by complexity clutter. Without hyper vigilance, extraneous design elements can easily creep into our products. These extra modules, screens, and interactions not only increase development costs, they also make life harder for users. The more stuff to process, the more users have to slow down, think, and learn.

Enter the magic of object-oriented UX! A repeatable, foolproof process for creating simple, naturally intuitive digital environments.

During this training webinar, we will learn how to use Sketch to build an object map (which you can think of as an X-ray of your digital platform). From there, we will hop over to Webflow to learn how to quickly translate that object map into a lovely content management system. There, your clients/writers can start kicking the tires with real content. Not only before development starts. Before wireframing starts. Crazy? Nope. You'll see.
