They are full of energetic, creative people exchanging ideas and giving brilliant talks. But these events can also be rather expensive. Luckily, there are lots of <strong>amazing content from the world\u2019s best web conferences available online<\/strong>. All you need is to take some time out of your busy schedule to watch and <strong>listen to what the experts have to share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are <strong>10 amazing presentations on topics dear to every designer\u2019s heart<\/strong>, covering everything from dealing with clients to web typography, responsive web design to impostor syndrome. They may not be the most recent of talks but what is important is the message the talks are trying to deliver.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1.<\/strong> <strong>\"On the Craft of Design and Working with Clients\" \u2013 <\/strong><strong>Mike Monteiro<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-vimeo su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/121082134?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff&autoplay=0&dnt=0&muted=0&texttrack=\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Designers are, by default, amazing at pushing pixels on a screen and creating beautiful, thoughtful designs. <strong>Presenting those thoughtful solutions, however, can be a stressful experience<\/strong>. If you\u2019re working at an agency or studio it can be especially tempting to just have your creative director show the work to the client. You might tell yourself that he will do it better, because he\u2019s a better speaker, with more experience \u2013 but no one can explain your design decisions better than you.<\/p>\n<p>In his funny and informative talk, Mike Monteiro reminds us <strong>why selling is a core design skill<\/strong>: because <strong>a good designer who can sell his work is more valuable than an amazing one who can\u2019t<\/strong>. The whole talk is more than an hour long but you can start at around 18:00 for 13 mistakes designers make during <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/communicating-with-audience\/\" rel=\"noopener\">client presentations<\/a>; see if you\u2019re guilty of any (and ways to improve, if you are).<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">You have been lied to!

A lot of designers who are just starting out might have done this at one point. Contracts do seem intimidating, especially at first. The great thing about them is that they <strong>help you and your client have clear expectations about the job.<\/strong> They <strong>protect you both<\/strong> if something goes wrong. If a client decides to pull the plug on a project that\u2019s only halfway done, would you know what to do or expect? You should.<\/p>\n<p>In this half-hour breakfast talk Mike Monteiro and his lawyer Gabe Lavine talk about contract-writing and getting paid, and get lots of applause. They name a few worst-case client scenarios, things they don\u2019t negotiate on and why, and really show why having a lawyer in your corner can save the day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">You\u2019re at the point where you need a lawyer when you\u2019ve decided to stop being a design amateur and become a design professional.<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Mike Monteiro<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2>3. \u201cWe\u2019re Not Worthy\u201d- <strong>Lori Widelitz-Cavallucci<\/strong> & <strong>Amy Silvers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><div class=\"video-19by6\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l08nWn-bmI0?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Do you ever feel less knowledgeable or less accomplished than your friends? The phenomenon called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/imposter-syndrome\/\" rel=\"noopener\">impostor syndrome<\/a> is common among designers, UX professionals, and other creative people, though perhaps not widely known. We have a tendency to compare ourselves to the best: see their beautiful websites, their insightful blog posts, big name clients \u2013 then think we fall short.<\/p>\n<p>Lori and Amy\u2019s session is drier than the previous ones on the list, but it\u2019s only 26 minutes long, and what it has to say is something very important. A feeling that many of us struggle with. A feeling of not being good enough. Skip to 13:00 if you just want to see survey results from a study among designers and how they feel about their skill level.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">It\u2019s the sense that you\u2019re a fraud.

When it comes to web design, there\u2019s so much to think about and it\u2019s easy to get caught up in the technical stuff sometimes. There are some big-picture things we might overlook because of that, like that <strong>websites should be fun<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThou shalt entertain\u201d is his first commandment. A boring website will not hold anyone\u2019s attention for longer than a couple of seconds. To get (more) awesome, check out the full 1-hour talk and get a full list of commandments, including \u201ctest everything (including assumptions)\u201d and \u201cthou shalt ship.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Often overlooked: the idea that a website should be an entertaining and delightful experience.<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Jeffrey Zeldman<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong>5. \"Responsive Web Design is Hard \/ Easy!

Dan Mall says yes and sees it as an opportunity to change the way we work. The old method of web designing \u2013 plan, design, develop, launch \u2013 doesn\u2019t work as great as it used to. With the proliferation of responsive design, he\u2019s discovered new processes that can help designers work better with clients.<\/p>\n<p>He advocates for style tiles, element collages and showing the clients what a site will feel like rather than a pixel-perfect psd every time. This is meant to save time and facilitate a good dialogue with the client. The whole presentation is 45 minutes but if you want to skip the intro, start at about 8:50 to hear about his approach or fast forward to the style tile talk at 16:20.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Photoshop comps don\u2019t cut it.

The beauty of CSS lies in its flexibility, but that\u2019s also when things can get complicated. Have you ever been in a situation where you worked on a project started by someone else and it took a while to figure out how it was coded? Or had some random class names you couldn\u2019t figure out?<\/p>\n<p>The speaker advocates for clarity in naming conventions and making sure we don\u2019t needlessly complicate things. Even though the presentation is from 2012, all the concepts presented in it are still relevant today. It\u2019s roughly 33 minutes long and is a great reminder about mindfulness and making things understandable.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Use CLASS over ID \u2013 don\u2019t use a grenade to dig a hole when a shovel will do.<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Jonathan Snook<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2>7. \"Top 10 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People\" \u2013 <strong>Susan Weinschenk<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-vimeo su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/41486296?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff&autoplay=0&dnt=0&muted=0&texttrack=\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>This is a fascinating presentation on why people do what they do, backed by the science of psychology. We work hard designing websites for people to interact with \u2013 but so much of what they do is dependent on their un- or sub-consciousness. This amazing talk gives us tools for our designer toolbox to help us better influence people\u2019s actions. It explains, among other things, why are humans attracted faces? (and how can that help a website?)<\/p>\n<p>If you have 44 minutes to spare, this is a must-see. Want to dive deeper into learning about people\u2019s online behavior? Alternatively, you can read about 6 psychological <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/online-behavior\/\" rel=\"noopener\">reasons of why people act the way they do<\/a> online.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">It\u2019s really easy when we are designing something [\u2026] to get all caught up in the design and to even forget that at the other end of this thing we\u2019re designing is a person who has to use it.<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Susan Weinschenk<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2>8. \"Content First!

And that new content frustratingly breaks the flow of the design somehow? Jeffrey Zeldman tells us that a website is not a brochure. A website is never final; it is a living, flexible, constantly changing medium that needs to be mindful of the user\u2019s goals. It should accommodate various scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to forget sometimes and this presentation, which shows examples of sites that got it right (and wrong) is a good reminder of why it matters. The whole thing is close to an hour long but worth spending your time on.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Our designs are often hostile to content.<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Jeffrey Zeldman<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong>9. \"Design Principles for a Better Mobile Web\" \u2013 <\/strong><strong>Jennifer Gove<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><div class=\"video-19by6\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xqviGwyy7y0?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Mobile experience can be an afterthought, or not even thought of at all.
