UX design is all about creating a compelling experience for your users.
It’s knowing what the user wants, and giving it to them quickly and simply. The best UX design makes the user think the website is created just for them.
The first in our four part series focuses on Value Proposition. Because the first step is telling users exactly what you do, and promising them good value.

Website designing is such a field which has seen a lot of changes. You will come across various modifications as well as improvements in this field if you study the history of website development as well as design. At the beginning stage, website designing was a simple thing, but over the years it became more and more complicated. Previously, we used to see static websites, having only a few pages. Nowadays, we have dynamic sites. E-commerce websites are examples of dynamic websites, and they may have plenty of pages. For example, an e-commerce website may have plenty of products in offering under various product categories. The number could be anywhere between 100 to 1000 and even more.

It may seem to us now that voice user interfaces (VUIs) aren’t learning quickly enough, but they’re actually evolving at a pretty good pace. Primary platforms are making substantial strides to define the process and practice of crafting a VUI, for example, so that third-party UX designers can bring us new and hopefully better experiences. But UX designers also need time to adapt. Yes, they can follow many of the fundamental guidelines they’re used to applying to visual interfaces, but they also need to operate with new tools and new rules. What makes VUI most difficult is the absence of a visible interface — there are no confines of a screen to keep users boxed in. In this space, we have to design for every possible situation without that visible safety net.

Not long ago, a company could gain the loyalty of its clientele based on product quality and little else. But with time, the difference between what a company offers and what its competitors provide has become negligible. Today, companies are increasingly seeking for alternative ways to win their customers. In ecommerce business, one such way is by providing impeccable user experience (UX). The article describes the ways artificial intelligence can enhance user experience.

One broad question that hounds almost all designers everywhere — ‘What is the perfect designing strategy to develop a user-friendly platform?’ The simpler version of it would be looking for an answer by actually observing the design yourself. Observation is the most critical asset of a designer when developing a design based on User Experience (UX). Ultimately, a good design is not just the by-product of creative ideas but an amalgamation of multiple design elements chosen to bring the idea/imagination to life.
When it comes to User Experience, some factors must be considered prior to the designing task.

Customers are increasingly and overwhelmingly mobile-first. For the most part, many brands are still learning how to optimize traditional e-commerce experiences let alone mobile sites and apps. The Amazons of the world don’t make it any easier to keep up. Yet every day, customers are reaching for their smartphones to learn about what to buy, what to do or where to go. But without being mobile-centric and integrating digital touchpoints, customer journeys are certain to be rife with obstacles between mobile sites and apps and even the desktop web.

Customer experience (CX) is a broad term which can cover many areas: Acquisition, content, conversion, and, of course, ongoing customer service.
Through all of these areas, though, there are some guiding principles which marketers can use as they seek to improve CX using digital channels.
To find out what guidelines marketers are currently using for CX improvement initiatives, Econsultancy, in association with Epsilon, invited dozens of client-side marketers in Shanghai to discuss the future of customer experience. Through moderated roundtable discussions, a number of themes emerged which are summarized below.

Leaders in the digital age have to think about grooming the right talent for jobs of the future. We live in a world where connectivity is inevitable, and this makes the Internet of Things (IoT) stand out amongst the emerging technologies. IoT connectivity lies at the heart of digital transformation as it forms the foundation for a wide range of technologies including automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and robotics among others. The lack of understanding among decision makers of the potential benefits of IoT, and the limited maturity of the industry hinders its smooth adoption.
The Talent Supply Index found that the demand for talent in IoT shot up 304 percent between 2014 and 2017. Although the continuous uptick in need for expertise in emerging technologies and more specifically IoT, the talent available has not grown at the same pace. The next question that comes to mind is “How should we bridge this gap?"
Additional focus in the following four areas is required for organisations to be future ready:

Consumers’ lives are getting faster and more connected. In this piece, Melanie Jensen, e-commerce manager, Aptos, tells RetailTechNews that to make sure retailers are reaching shoppers at every touchpoint, they need to ensure that they are optimised for life on the go. Nearly a third of online shopping across all retail sectors now occurs on a mobile device, which makes it clear that this is a platform that cannot be ignored.
Mobile apps evolved to make our lives faster, easier, and more convenient. It’s time that retailer’s apps followed these rules. All too often, retailers try to offer fun or ‘cool’ experiences, such as making digital outfits or virtually trying on cosmetics. However, if these extras are difficult to use or time-consuming, customers will quickly lose interest – and retailers could lose a sale.
To make sure that your mobile offering is up to scratch, here are five key things to consider when building your app:
