UI/UX: Making a Business Decision

Torrey Fazen

The success of a website hinges on more than just the company brand and its content. Consumers are inundated with content and now have shorter attention spans. So it becomes paramount that a business connects its content, brand, and calls to action with the right user interface (UI) and user experience (UX).

Your website is your most important real estate, it's the key to your kingdom, whether you are selling your products and services or educating about your mission. And with the goldfish mentality, you truly have 8 seconds to convince someone to stay, peruse, and hopefully engage.

UI is aesthetics, it's layouts, it's easy to find navigation menus, it is entirely about creating a seamless browsing experience for end users. UX is about the experience itself, anticipating a user's journey, what they need, and creating intuitive transactions from start to finish.

Investing in UI/UX design isn't just about the look of your website, it's about making a strategic business decision to invest in your audiences. It leads to longer time on site, increased engagement, and higher conversion rates. This becomes a powerful differentiator in today's connected world. Word of mouth, positive reviews, and repeat visits keep businesses in business. On the flip side, frustrated users lead to high bounce rates, poor reputation, and ultimately a loss of sales and/or brand trust.
