What is User Experience and Why is it Important?

User Experience is how customers navigate experiences digitally and across devices. Your online presence is key to attracting new customers and providing engaging content to existing ones. That means that having a compelling online presence that is easy to use is not a choice, it is a necessity. If you don’t make it seamless for customers to engage with you online, they will go to a business that will.

Case Study

All companies know that they are too close to their own business to always know how to do the right thing for their customers. In this example, a Fortune 500 Financial Services firm was looking to optimize their user experience online to decrease fields that needed to be filled out for a prospective customer to complete an online application. By leveraging best-in-class UX design principles, data analysis and competitive insights we were able to decrease the number of required fields by 33% while still maintaining regulatory compliance standards. Application rates improved and revenue was estimated to increase over $15 million annually due to the changes.
