Did you know that 53% of visitors will abandon your website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load? And did you know that almost ‘40% of users will stop engaging if they find the content or layout of a website shabby and tatty’.

The question is, how can you optimise your website in a way that completely eliminates these errors. Well, the truth is you can’t. No one can. But you can certainly make improvements!

Face it. Even if you believe yourself to be the world’s most creative designer or developer, we’re all in need of some inspiration every now and then. We like to call this, ‘having a mindset for growth’. And one of the best places to find this inspiration as well as stay ahead of the latest trends and best practices in the user experience space is to consult expert opinions, which – you guessed it – are often found in articles on User Experience (UX) blogs.

Have you ever wondered why your users don’t interact with your product the way you were expecting them to? It might be because you may not understand how to use different psychology principles to design your products to elicit specific responses and actions from your users. Your customers are driven by emotions when they are looking at a website, wondering if they should buy a product or not. They are instinctively trying to establish a connection with the brand and, depending on what they see, they will either complete the purchase or not.

The recent blunder by Instagram, however, is an important learning opportunity for all of us in the e-commerce space who are responsible for the user experience and interfaces of our websites.
First, key features of websites or apps should never be launched without fully testing and vetting them with customers. At Geriatric Medical, we develop most of our site features to address challenges or problems that are customers are having. In addition, we work very closely with our team to build enhancements that will complement the key features and ordering sections of our site. The “Instagram Tap” feature would be similar to us inverting the scroll feature on our ordering list pages, it just wouldn’t make any logical sense.

When I think of user onboarding, I am always reminded of the famous ‘IKEA effect’. Those of you have endured the emotional rollercoaster that comes with assembling an IKEA wardrobe or nightstand, you might already have an idea of where I’m going with this. The IKEA effect is defined as the effect ‘where you assign more value to products that you’ve had a hand in creating’. In other words, for many of us the result is far more satisfying when we’ve successfully completed a task on our own. Those who have studied this effect even go as far as to say that ‘people become more attached simply because of their own efforts’. This is a good analogy when it comes to understanding the value of a good (better yet, successful) user onboarding process.
