Be aware that your
client or your potential customer will not have a single experience with your
product or service.
Improve the user experience
Many organizations
are discovering that a great user experience that can provide a powerful
competitive advantage. A great product or the user experience increases
service revenues, reduces costs, and build long-term customer loyalty.
For these
organizations, it is the first time that they have done one a priority to
improve the experience of the user of your designs. Do this for the first
time can be tricky. It's techniques, processes, and cultural changes in
the organization.
Although it is only
a reference to take into account, I think all agree that there is a large space
to improve customer experience on our web site, business or Organization.
How can we do it?
We see 10 lines of
action to achieve this must immediately communicate the purpose of the site to
our customers.
The first moments of
stay on a site are key. Most of the visits do not pass from the login page, so
it is crucial to communicate very clearly what is the purpose of the web.
Some tips: expose on
the cover clearly the range of products that are offered on the site. It is recommended
to accompany the product catalogs in front with some descriptive phrase.
The client must be
informed constantly about its location.
The user is faced
with decisions that they will conclude in a possible purchase by What is
essential to create a sense of security that allows customer forget the
navigation and focus on the information provided.
There are several
ways to achieve that feeling of comfort:
1. always present company logos.
2. Clear page
titles.
3. Use some of the
different types of "traces of crumbs" (also called
"breadcrumbs") or paths... This type of techniques require proper
application and operation.
We must study,
understand and, above all, listen to our users. Only from this knowledge, it is
possible to design and implement a strategy of developing products and services
based on user experience.
It must be provided
and optimize access to users.
Normally there are
two basic types of users: novices and experts, and the needs of ones and others
may differ. The tendency is to focus on the novel and complicated navigation
expert. Our advice is that we look for a balance so that, without hinder novel
navigation, advanced user find shortcuts that will improve your user
experience.
On closed areas or
restricted access, it is something that depends solely on the business strategy
of each company. But we recommend to make more flexible access to the content.
Restrict access to the information is not beneficial, especially if there is a
real value for the customer registered.
Investigate new
patterns of behavior.
The evolution of the market obliges us to be alert to the
emergence of new possibilities of interaction with our system, not initially
contemplated. For this reason it is important to establish a process to analyze
and measure all the patterns of use and possible behaviors, and detect those
new which, not having been considered at first, may be applied to our product.
The user
should receive help when you need it.
In theory, a site
well fact should not require instructions for help. In practice, they are
essential. So our aid does not become another obstacle more, we must bear in
mind two things: subsidies be concise and direct. And that they are
contextualized. I.e., that subsidies are located in the place in which the user
will need: a support text, example, etc.
In all studies with
users made at dnx, telephone support has emerged as an element of security
necessary to face the uncertainty produced by the process of buying online.
Therefore, we must offer the customer the feeling that we are on the other side
to resolve any doubts you raised him.
The brain processes
better information when there is a history.
Collect
feedback from all possible sources involved in our system.
We not only have to
think about the user as our only source of valid information. Our ecosystem can
be influenced by other major players, such as suppliers or companies that
develop products or services that interact with ours, whose feedback is so
valuable as he can receive with our users create user and a committed
relationship where they feel committed to our site and conversely.
Communicate possible
actions
As physical objects in the real world, the digital objects on a
computer screen provide some clues as to how we can interact with
them. Buttons it seems that they can be pushed, handles seem to be
extracted and the links seem to be that you can click. These tracks are
called 'affordances' and are one of the most important considerations of
usability. Objects that seem to behave in a certain way or perform a
specific function when it is not said that the communication of a false'
affordance'.
Take a critical look
at its web site, taking into account that probably look every day without
thinking. You can understand how to interact with things on the basis of
their appearance? The things you can do click seem to click? Make
sure that the buttons and links stand out from its surrounding
content. Use the shape, colour and consistent texture to provide
tracks. There is something that looks clickable when it is
not? Remove false frustrating affordances that lead users in cul-de-sacs.
The customer
experience is not only with your product or service, goes much further than is
necessary to be aware that your client or your potential client will not
experience only with your product or service.
You will also need
an experience with your employees, Call Center (or Care Center), either of the
team that performs operations or Delivery. You will have an experience
with your site or your purchase Portal. You will have an experience with social
networks and your company's reputation. You will have an experience when it
comes into your store and hear the music, smell the environment or have cold or
heat.
All this influences
the purchase criteria. All this influences whether the client will return to
buy or not.
