On the importance of design to online business:
No matter how great a business idea is, or what technology it
relies on behind the scenes, a company needs to express itself
visually in a way customers will understand in order to be
successful. The number of ways to translate an idea into a design
is infinite, but which designs will drive customer value? Michael
Krypel’s Refining Design for Business answers this key
question, showing you how to create engaging and measurable
customer experiences.
