So the first priority is to attract as many users as possible, which today’s online giants did by creating a great “user experience”. Google, for instance, won out against Alta Vista, the leading search engine in the late 1990s, because its interface was cleaner, searches came up more quickly and the results were more accurate. Once such advantages have been established, they start up all kinds of flywheels. The service attracts users, which attracts suppliers of content (in Google’s case, websites that want to be listed in its index), which in turn improves the user experience, and so on. Similarly, the more people use Google’s search service, the more data it will collect, which helps to make the results more relevant.

Having a quality user experience can be critical to the success of a business. But many marketers often underestimate the role that website performance plays in the user experience.
Nowhere is this truer than on mobile, where a slow-loading or poor-performing webpage can lose a user’s attention and interest within seconds.
Unlike desktop websites, mobile websites are typically accessed on the go, and in situations where people don’t have a lot of time or inclination to sit around waiting for a website to load.

"As entrepreneurs build companies, they find themselves running into the leadership paradox: They need to lead their growing teams, but they often have no idea how to do so. To help them learn from those who've been there, I'm profiling business owners in June who have found ways to grow their ventures successfully and become industry leaders in their own right.
This interview features Sandy Marsico, the founder and CEO of Sandstorm Design, a brand experience agency. Companies know how essential brand experience is in an age when technology and messaging significantly impact engagement with customers. Many of them, however, guess at what will be most relevant or intuitive without testing their assumptions, leaving customers unimpressed — and ensuring that their efforts don’t come with the hoped-for ROI."

"Professional websites are the new résumés.
This is a good thing. Your information can be accessed more easily and frequently, it can be optimized to show up in search engines, you have more room to share your experience in a creative way, and most of all, you can quickly build your web presence, which is ultimately a synonym for your professional reputation.
The challenge is that not everyone has experience with HTML, coding, copywriting or marketing design. You may be a highly qualified expert in your field, but without correct online representation, your work could easily get lost among the noise. Hiring a professional to build your website and "brand" material (even if you are an individual) is always the best course of action. If that isn't a possibility for you, there are many pre-designed templates from hosting websites that can set you up pretty well."

In financial services, the term, “omnichannel,” is too often limited to the perspective of the retail experience. Does the consumer see a consistent experience every time they use a bank or retailers various channels – online, in person or on a mobile app.
However, omnichannel in payments extends beyond a consistent user experience. True payments omnichannel also requires the backend process to be streamlined so that every payment option used is processed, protected and reconciled in the same fashion. It should not matter whether the payment is made via a mobile device or an EMV-enabled chip, payments providers are wasting time and money by patching together disparate solutions to handle every different payment source.
In order to provide a streamlined approach to payments, payments processors need to start from the ground up. Here are three key areas to focus on when building an omnichannel approach to payments:

If you’re involved in any kind of business, you’ve probably seen the abbreviation UX in online guides. It’s everywhere!
It stands for user experience – the one thing all businesses are trying to improve. However, there’s a narrower approach to consider: UX design. User experience design is all about improving the product in a way that enhances the user’s experience. That’s being done through implementing various techniques, such as human-computer interaction, usability, visual design, interaction design, and information architecture.
