Explanation:
Think about website visitors as customers in your local store. You should welcome them and provide the best possible experience.
Behind each click is a real person you want to engage with him. After grabbing visitors’ attention, make sure that engagement, searching, and navigation are as easy as possible. User experience on your website or app should resemble a good conversation.
Improving user experience is a process, not a step. You should develop your strategy and implement continuous testing.
