Many of those abandoned carts are probably lost for good because you don’t have any contact information from the shopper to try to win them back to checkout. But for a percentage of the carts, your shopper will have gotten far enough along in the process that you’ll have an email address (or
When it comes to providing world-class digital experiences, less than a third of respondents (29 percent) thought their customers would rate their digital experience as superior. On mobile, a poor design or bad user experience is even more pronounced. With three billion smartphone users in the

The Future of Blockchain: Technology Partnerships with AI, Bots, and IoT
Even when a technology offers solutions that previous tools did not, it still may not be able to address every issue. However, when combined with other technologies, the synergies tend to cover more of these problem areas. For example, OSA DC is an AI-driven blockchain that helps by collecting

UX Mapping Methods Compared: A Cheat Sheet

The Impact of Interaction Design on Brand Perception
Ask your users to use a specific interactive feature in your system. Then ask them to fill out rating scales indicating how much their experience matched up to your brand attributes or emotions of interest (Likert scales or semantic differential scales might work equally well for this). You might
When to Use Which User-Experience Research Methods
The distinction here is an important one, and goes well beyond the narrow view of qualitative as “open ended” as in an open-ended survey question. Rather, studies that are qualitative in nature generate data about behaviors or attitudes based on observing them directly, whereas in quantitative
Top 10 Intranet Trends of 2016
Tools to create, edit, and post videos have made them accessible and easy to deal with. Prevalence in social channels has lowered the expectation for high-quality video production. In fact, many people welcome the simplicity and folksiness of more realistic, just-shot-myself type of videos. With
Help People Create Passwords That They Can Actually Remember
For passwords, once created, we usually only need to recall them when we attempt to log in. This may be too late: by the time we need the password, we may have already forgotten it. We could spot-quiz users while they are on the website or in the app, but while this might reinforce password memory
OK-Cancel or Cancel-OK? The Trouble With Buttons
We get countless questions about small details in UI design that don't matter much to the overall user experience. One classic is the order of buttons in dialog boxes: OK / Cancel Cancel / OK Both are reasonable choices, and people can argue for hours about their preferences: Listing OK
Touch Targets on Touchscreens
Designing usable touch targets is the basis of all touchscreen (and therefore mobile) design. Ensure that all interactive elements are at least 1cm × 1cm (0.4in × 0.4in) in physical, rendered size and positioned with enough space from other competing touch targets to be easily and accurately

Why User Interviews Fail
First, pilot your interview guide on yourself to learn how you would answer the questions in your interview guide. Even asking yourself your own questions might make it clear that some of your questions don’t work. Second, before you run your interviews with lots of users, recruit one user for a
The Impact of Interaction Design on Brand Perception
Manipulating interaction design with an eye towards brand impact can be particularly challenging. At the center of this challenge is some uncertainty about what the relationships are between specific types of interaction design and branding. For example, what kind of an interaction makes a brand
Accordions for Complex Website Content on Desktops
Another situation in which accordions are helpful is when the information is restricted to very small spaces, such as on mobile devices. On small screens people often stop scrolling before reaching the end of an extremely long page. If the page has several loosely related pieces of information
Cards: UI-Component Definition
Seasoned UX pros may recognize the card concept as being related (both in name and in concept) to the card (or deck-of-cards) model of presenting linked information from the dawn of hypertext, in the 1990s. This model refers to splitting content into discrete pages of fixed size and is an
To Prevent Fraud, Healthcare Organizations Must Streamline Their Data Processes
Organizations are also starting to tap machine learning solutions. Algorithms can comb both structured and unstructured data to look for and flag anomalies. Healthcare organizations can then rely on the experience of just a few staff to verify fraudulent transactions that might otherwise have

CSS conversion of my Radio weblog
I’ve done a re-design of my Radio weblog, using CSS. Look ma, no tables! Yes, it’s now a tableless design. I’m doing my bit for the web standards cause, although I haven’t yet achieved 100% XHTML validation. For my re-design I used a CSS Zen Garden design by Michael Landis

Mobile First Is NOT Mobile Only
Tempting as it may be to design once and use twice, it can result in a subpar user experience for one of the platforms, and maybe for both of them. Providing content and feature parity across devices is a great goal, but it doesn’t mean that all the UI elements and the design must also stay
Login Walls Stop Users in Their Tracks
Another subterfuge that sites and apps use to force people into registering is to hide access to the functionality deep in the interface and place all the focus on the login and signup options. Yelp is guilty as charged: the alternative of using their tablet app without logging in is hidden under
