Have you ever visited a website that was confusing, with broken links and long, rambling text? Or have you had a web experience that just worked, where everything was clear, easy, and enjoyable to use? If so, you’ve encountered the extremes of user experience design. Excellent UX can delight and convert customers. Bad UX can lead to lost revenue and a decrease in repeat visitors. In practice, great UX can differ based on the audience and context. The principle remains the same: make it easy for your users to find what they need and to convert to your desired goal. UX is the first, foundational step of an effective digital asset.

The fundamental principle of good development and design is to understand your users, since they are the people who will actually be accessing and interacting with your website. What are they looking for? What are their objectives? Your offering must have user experience central to the process.

There are some real, tangible benefits to applying UX design to digital marketing strategies. Good UX is an excellent way to differentiate your brand in the market and give yourself a competitive advantage. If your online touchpoints are easy, intuitive and awesome to use, your customers won’t have any reason to look elsewhere. Good UX research and design allows you to find the best solution for your needs. Every business, website and online service is unique in some way, which means that the way it is constructed, must be unique too.
