5 Reasons You Shouldn't Be Ignoring Your Websites UX By Clare Bittourna, Codal Inc
______________________________________________________ Web and app developers in Chicago and all over the world will tell you how important it is for users to have a great experience on your website. As an agency that specializes in UX design services, we’ve learned time and again the reasons why your website’s UX should never be ignored. Here are 5 reasons you shouldn’t be ignoring your websites UX. 1. First impressions are everything. Good design and first impressions are important and visuals make up for much of that. In terms of user experience design services, its very crucial to not let your design get in the way of how the user interacts with the site. 2. You want your site to be trusted. The last thing you want your user to feel is uncertainty or ask if they can trust your site with their information. If a user is asking themselves questions and is unsure of the answers they think in their head, they probably want to get far away from your site and won’t want to ever come back. 3. Slow loading site. It's more than frustrating when you come across a website that takes forever to load. It’s a frustrating experience for the user and if they were unsure about your product/service and wanted more information on it, this is a sure way to make them turned off. UX research
services have proven there are numerous ways you can speed up your website even if you have tons of imagery and multimedia or are making it very creative; there’s always a way to speed it up. 4. A positive user reaction. Safe, comfortable, happy; these are the feelings you should want your user to have when they see your site. The user should feel comfortable that they’ll find what they’re looking for on your site and that you’re the website that will make everything good. Feeling validated, that you’ve done the right thing and made the right decision in your click. 5. Lack of contact information for next steps. Picture this, a user ends up on a site that has the products/services their looking for, they go through product information and details and are meticulous about what they’re searching for. They believe the information satisfies their needs so they search for the business’s contact information but its not there. No form to fill out, no physical address, no phone number, no email. This makes the UX crash down. If you’re a beginner just getting into UX design, or a seasoned vet who’s forgot what the basic tools are, these are some good examples of what you should never ignore in your UX design.
