The user experience (UX) is all-important in the modern business sphere. The experience your target audience has from the moment they click on your website to (ideally) making a purchase creates impressions. Your website should guide users smoothly along the buyer journey. It should engage with them through meaningful interactions. If your website falls short of expectations, you will lose them to your competitors.
One of the best ways to decrease your bounce rate and boost conversions is to avoid these six common UX mistakes.

Within the digital realm, faster is almost always synonymous with better. Whether its an internet browser boasting faster loading speeds or a new mobile app that offers a quicker way to order food, when it comes to our digital experiences we want our goals completed as soon as possible.
In the UX world, this holds true often enough. Designers dedicate so much of the SDLC to streamlining user flows or simplifying processes, usually with the intent of making things easier, friendlier, and faster.
So while most designers know there are exceptions to the ‘faster = better UX’ rule (the benefits of injecting friction to an experience are well-documented), fewer grasp the role that speed, and more fundamentally, time, plays in an experience.
In fact, timing is so crucial to UX design that the usability gurus at NNG have crafted an entire ‘powers of ten’-based system for it.
So how can you ensure an experience you are crafting has user-friendly timing? How do you know if a digital product is responding too slow (or, more intriguingly, too fast?) And how can you design experiences while keeping timing in mind?

Your website’s appearance can make or break a transaction. If it isn’t attractive, up-to-date or user-friendly, consumers will be quick to look elsewhere. You need your site to both make a great impression on potential customers and provide an easy and satisfying user experience (UX).
Modern websites can feature a lot of flashy visual features designed to dazzle visitors. While it may be tempting to implement a slew of these “bells and whistles,” these extraneous features may intimidate consumers or make it difficult for them to navigate your site.

You probably don’t notice intuitive web design, but you do notice bad design. People such as Charles Novabos, who works with Pramerica, are essential to ensuring a seamless online experience.

Ensuring websites are seamless to navigate, however, is a far from easy task. That’s why companies such as Pramerica need user experience (UX) researchers such as Charles Novabos. We caught up with Novabos to see what his working day entails.

Your site can always have a better user experience. It’s obvious that the users of your website are the most important audience online, but when do you know if you should improve, and what are some quick improvements that you can make?
Your site can always offer a better user experience. It’s better to focus on sitewide improvements like site speed, maintaining a responsive site, and keeping design clean first. Once you are ready to look at individual pages, exploring the places users leave your site is a fantastic start.
Ideally you should care about your user experience all the time. However, there are certain times that it is especially necessary to pay attention to your user’s onsite behavior and experience. When you start to see user attrition in certain areas of your site, a high bounce rate, or overall traffic loss, it’s time to get to work and start breaking down reasons that people are fleeing from your site.

Even though many businesses understand the importance of going digital and get their websites, they seldom consider its user-friendliness. In fact, great UI/UX can bring in more web traffic than you think. They help boost the SEO rank and bring back customers to the website more often.
Along with user-friendliness, mobile-friendliness is also important. Responsive websites are a must these days because people use mobiles and smaller, smarter devices to browse through websites.
Desktops have become almost extinct and laptops are now endangered! Mobiles and other smart devices have taken their place. They are more convenient to use and easier to carry. But ensuring user-friendliness on a mobile is just as important. Here are 11 interesting tips to make a mobile responsive web design.
