Virtual reality has skyrocketed in popularity in just a few short years. Ten years ago, VR tech simply wasn’t there, and if it was, the hardware was prohibitively expensive.

Whether you’ve just launched your website or you’re in the process of improving the online customer experience, customer feedback will serve as an invaluable tool in achieving your business’ goals. This feedback not only has the potential to provide you with insights into which kinds of problems your visitors are running into but it can also reveal which features work well for them. The easiest way to gather this feedback is via feedback forms. For WordPress users in particular, this is especially easy as there are various plugins available that serve up feedback solutions at no cost.

With the exception of some types of customer research and testing that must be done on site or in person, CX and UX jobs can be performed completely remotely. We do not need to come into physical offices, neither to whiteboard — thanks to digital and cloud alternatives — nor to collaborate with co-workers located in the US, Croatia, India, South Africa, Brazil and around the world.

UX expert Gareth Dunlop explores the challenging question faced by many a designer: what do customers actually want?
The classic criticism levelled at consultants of many hues is that they ask for your watch, then tell you the time. They are notorious for asking lots of questions and reporting back with little more than a glorified transcription in a 50-page report, 40 pages of which are part of an off-the-shelf template.
