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.
