E-commerce User Experience

We do not have any public dates for this course at the moment. But we can run any of our courses at your premises. Contact us for details.

Overview

While growth in ecommerce grows dramatically, many sites continue to ignore the importance of good user experience. In this unique course we examine the main factors of UX in an ecommerce setting, including often-overlooked topics such as trust and persuasion, as well as the benefits of good usability and accessibility.

This one-day course is based on nearly 10 years of experience in benchmarking and compares design approaches across a number of important players in this field.
