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.

The website is full of internal speak, lack of flow, and the critical information to help the user is suffocated by the weeds of marketing waffle and so the user needs to phone the support centre – who’s to blame?
The patient gets frustrated when the patient after them in A&E gets treated more quickly because their injury is more serious but they don’t understand that process – who’s to blame?

If you’re using Google Analytics, you will have access to a bunch of data that came from Google monitoring the user experience of your visitors. Those data are used to gauge your website performance and also play a role in your SERP.
In this blog post we are going to talk about: what is user experience, how does it affect SEO, how to check your user experience signals data, and how those data matters.

"User feedback software has been our preferred method for collecting customer feedback to bring our A/B testing to the next level. A/B Testing is a fundamental necessity to figure out how your customer responds to different sets of web pages and user interfaces. While the precise data and conversion information of an A/B test are incredibly valuable, we have found that combining them with direct user feedback can give even more insight for future tests you may have been unable to recognize without the user feedback. Determining and tweaking your design based on the user feedback data you receive is a fundamental step in any conversion rate optimization campaign."

The digital ecosystem has evolved to such a level, where our everyday customer journeys are just that - everyday. We expect our online shopping experience to be seamless. If it is anything less, then it becomes a bad user experience, frustrating and annoying to the consumer.
Users are moving away from tolerance and more and more towards proneness. This shift is seen in the unsurprising stat that since January 2013, ad-blocking software has grown by 400% with currently 200 million users worldwide. More often than not, someone downloads AdBlocker not because of ads, but because of a bad ad experience.
This means that now more than ever, the customer is always right. They hold so much power over brands today, who are often scrambling to show an ad to as many people as possible whilst keeping returning customers loyal.

Building a website is all about your users. You need to be aware of your audience and you build your brand identity around them. There are thousands of ways to approach and enhance your website user experience. One of the strategies we are often presented with is using humor and cuteness added to your website style.
What is implied with humor and cuteness? Is it all about making jokes and being sarcastic? Well, it’s a bit more than that. If you choose to go down the humor road, you’re giving your brand a specific voice, and you need to be consistent in using it. Humor helps you make a great first impression on your users. It also leads to people developing certain kinds of emotions for your brand and that makes it closer to your users.
Here’s what you need to know if you want to use humor and cuteness to improve your website user experience.

Let’s get straight to the point. – The number one priority of any Ecommerce website is to generate sales. And the biggest hurdle in achieving that is the shopping cart abandonment rate.
Shopping cart abandonment simply means visitors leaving your online store without making any purchase. And right now, 69.89 percent of online shoppers abandon their shopping carts, according to Baymard Institute’s calculations from 34 studies on e-commerce cart abandonment.
While of course there is nothing much you can do about visitors leaving your website for the reasons out of your control – reasons like not interested in your products or not ready to buy yet, but what about the visitors who are ready to buy? – why are they leaving?

Where do you get your news? Do you think it’s objective? Do you trust it?
Fewer people are relying on print (newspapers and magazines) and even TV for their news.
Print subscriptions continue to decline and almost half of Americans report getting their news online, nearly the same as TV news.
Despite the evolution of the news “interface” from print and TV to digital, many of the same content sources remain. Traditional TV and print sources of news are also popular online sources. Consequently, we benchmarked the desktop user experience of the following seven news websites: BBC, CNN, Fox News, Huffington Post, The New York Times, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.
