Remember the time when hovering and clicking using the mouse were the most used triggers for interaction with a website or mobile app? Forget about those days.
The game changed when Apple introduced the first fully touchscreen smartphone in 2007. Since that time gestures have become the new clicks, and they still are one of the hottest trends in UI design even today. These intuitively understandable gestures have dramatically changed the way we think about interaction with our mobile devices.
Mobile gestures have an impact on user experience. No matter what kind of a mobile app you create, you’ll have to integrate gestures into your mobile design. Here are three reasons why.

As Amazon continues to dominate the e-commerce space, smaller online retail businesses must do more to compete. Web design is one effective way e-commerce businesses can stand out to consumers while making a worthwhile investment in their marketing strategy. A recent consumer survey from Clutch shows that people value three main user experience (UX) features when they browse online:
- Effective navigation
- Updated website design
- Authoritative content
Updating a website to include or enhance these three features will benefit businesses beyond simply improving the user experience. Investing in navigation, design, and content also has important branding and SEO benefits.

The benefits of cloud computing are clear. Companies recognize that investing in on-premises technology is no longer a cost effective and nimble way to adapt to the changing needs of users. A better, more flexible and highly scalable strategy is to use a platform in the cloud to build applications that work across digital devices and can better address customer demands in real time.

Imagine you’re at an industry conference. It’s happy hour, so you grab a drink and turn to the attendee next to you. What do you do next? You don’t just throw a business card at them and walk away. If you do, you’re a lousy networker.
If you're a good networker, you start a conversation.
If you're a great networker, you take that conversation to the next level by adjusting the conversation based on their body language. If they lean in when you talk about search engine optimization but check their watch when you talk about paid search, well ... then you talk more about SEO.
So the question is this: why aren’t more companies doing this with their website visitors?
