Online user experience A user’s total interaction with a site, including ease-of use, content, and function
Agenda • What is user experience? • How does it contribute to profitability? • How can you create a great user experience ?
User experience moves business metrics • Consumers respond to it • Business decision-makers require it • Firms know they must provide it
Despite good intentions, most sites provide a poor experience • Shoppers give up on two-thirds of their buying attempts • Job seekers can’t complete applications • All users struggle with basic site flaws
A basic flaw: poor text legibility • Almost half of all sites are hard to read • Text blends into background • Type is too small
The business impact of design flaws • Products and services are hard to find • Prospects can’t make a decision • Willing buyers can’t complete an order
Firms can throw money at these problems • Bribe defectors to return • Increase marketing budgets to drive traffic • Slash prices to improve look-to-buy ratios
Or firms can fix their broken sites . . . • Make it easier to find products and services • Help prospects make decisions • Remove barriers to ordering
. . . because there are a lot of Hollies out there • 67% of Web buyers have abandoned an online shopping cart • 60% of travel site users go to another site when they can’t easily find what they want • The more active the online investor is, the easier he/she thinks it is to switch providers
