Once again, we’d like to thank all those who came to this month’s WPC session. It’s been a very busy summer and this week we were pleased to announce the successful migration of our 100th site to EdWeb! This is a fantastic achievement and one that we are hugely proud of. However, there is still […]

The UX Scotland conference is happening in Edinburgh again next month. It’s a great opportunity on the doorstep for anyone involved in user experience design, research and management, and I’m really pleased to be attending again this year.
