Less is more
In terms of UX, the quicker you can get your customer to an outcome, the better. By minimising friction, you will see your conversion rate rise significantly. Do this by reducing the number of clicks you require your customer to go through before you convert them. Make sure your sign-up forms are the right length and always remember less is more. Make sure your site is optimised and have pages load in less than 1 second, be responsive and easy to navigate.

Be super clear
Consumers are demanding a high level of user experience – particularly in a post COVID landscape. Provide your users clear, descriptive instructions and highlight calls-to-action or buttons you want customers to press. These simple steps will increase customer satisfaction, conversion and customer referrals.

Embrace voice

They have transformed the way consumers search for information, take notes, and generally, changed the way they use the internet.

Adopt GOOD Microcopy

It’s a great way to boost your UX – as it gives a unique tone to your website and allows to you get even closer to your users. These small bits of text need to be closely brand-related, be concise and should be clear to make an impact.
