Topic: Leveraging Design Thinking to Elevate User Experience on WordPress Websites

In this talk, we will discuss how we can use the base frameworks of Design Thinking, i.e., Empathetic User Research, Framing (and Re-Framing) User Problems, Ideation, Prototyping & Testing, and Periodic Modification to build an intuitive and functional website that matches user intent.
