Have you given much thought to your web performance? What about testing? Taking the time to regularly monitor and improve your website performance is the best way to create a user experience that’s positive and memorable. We all know the struggle and frustration of a website that doesn’t load quickly or properly, so why would you wish the same on your users?

We shop online for convenience, for bargains and for the wide product range. But if a retailer’s website wasn’t up to scratch, would it put you off shopping there?
Some of the U.K.’s biggest high street shops - including WHSmith, JD Sports and Dorothy Perkins - were recently named and shamed by consumers for having websites with poor user experience.
At a time when online sales make up nearly a fifth of all national retailing, most retailers simply cannot get away with delivering a substandard online shopping experience.

In today’s digital world, consumers’ attention span continues to decrease while expectations for online experiences increase. Research conducted by Google indicates that if sites take longer than three to four seconds to load, users are more likely to turn towards the competition. For a lot of marketers, user experience may not be front of mind, but it is now a vital part of their digital marketing strategy. In this piece for ExchangeWire, Maggie McKosky (pictured below), head of user experience & product design, Shutterstock, explains why user experience should go hand in hand with marketing – and not be delegated as a tech problem.

“Our company is trying to get away from Big Design Up Front. Why doesn’t UX get fast feedback and iterate?” the conference attendee asked. Considering a multi-step process, he asked why UX doesn’t design step 1, deliver that, design step 2, deliver that, etc.
Imagine your company is setting up a new workflow for a customer to register and sign up for your system. The customer will need to complete a process where they create an account (or at least choose a password), select the level of service wanted, enter payment details, review the order, then complete it and get a confirmation message.

User experience – notably poor user experience – has been a hot topic in recent months with the much-publicized launch of HealthCare.gov and its subsequent issues. User experience is a part of the design process that you don’t hear about unless something goes wrong. But it is something that should be an integral part of the design process, from early concepts to the final product.
So with this renewed – and very public – discussion about user experience, why does it matter to designers?

With so much emphasis on user experience (UX) and agility in modern business, you would expect great design to be ubiquitous. It’s not. So Why does bad design keep happening? It’s the data. More accurately, it’s the lack of data, writes, Matthew Wishnow, Managing Director of Experience Design and Optimization at Accenture Interactive.

We’ve heard a lot about AV integrators and experience in the past year or so, since InfoComm International rebranded itself as the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association (AVIXA). The truth is most integrators have been doing user experience-based AV designs for years.
Designing for user experience isn’t just about finding the best way for the person who presses the buttons or controls the digital signage content to interact with the technology, said AVIXA staff instructor Marcus Yarborough in a presentation during Almo’s E4 AV Tour stop in Boston last week.

There is a Spanish proverb that translates: “In the blacksmith’s house, a wooden knife”, and is the paradox of how there can be scarcity of something where there should be abundance. It happens to be true in many professions.
What about UX Designers? They are all about analyzing human behavior to develop solutions that create meaningful digital » experiences. They feel passionate about finding the pain points in users and releasing that pain through new or improved products and services.
But, who analyzes the pain points of UX Designers? Who studies their behavior, their interactions, their experiences? Other Designers?

It was 5 years ago when I started out with the unknown UX field. I was clueless and the only thing I know about it was, I get to design. At first, I was doubtful if this thing is for me since Design was introduced to me in Posters, Illustrations, Photo Manipulations, and Character creation context. But when I learned about UX, I found something I can level up in. I thought to myself, “Interfaces? I think I can do it”

As technology arcs toward sophisticated innovation, minimalism is on the rise. Designers are embracing the sleek over the spartan in hopes of developing experiences that offer better usability while maintaining a low profile.
Creating an interface that’s intuitive requires two steps: First, determining the most necessary functionalities for each screen, and then guiding users to these specific functions.
Seamless designs not only make user navigation easier, they also put people at ease — ultimately keeping them active on a website, app, or other digital platform and more likely to become repeat users and visitors.
