“We know how many seemingly innocent things can distract the user from the shopping path and, correspondingly, lower your sales. After many years of working in eCommerce, we can identify most of these things at a glance. We can get the rest of the knowledge from user research and analytical tools.”

Katarzyna Kowalczyk, Product Designer

Most common questions about UX audits

What is an eCommerce UX audit?

A UX audit is an expert analysis of your eCommerce. Its goal is to identify the weak points of your service. These are weaknesses where users encounter the most difficulties. They can make it difficult for users to find relevant information or perform a task, like booking a ticket or purchasing a product.

What’s the purpose of a UX audit?

  • Understand a solution’s value to the business.
  • Radically improve your product’s performance quickly and cost-effectively.
  • Spot any UX and user interface (UI) issues before spending money on development.
  • Get a fresh look at your solution from another perspective.
  • Fix problems with an existing product that are related to the clarity of your product or that are aimed to address users’ needs in the right way.
  • Obtain recommendations for the future.
  • Identify the value for users who are using, or will use the solution.
  • Improve your conversion rates, brand perception, and sales.

Who’s a UX audit for?

  • You plan to redesign your website but don't know where to start. Rebuilding a site is always associated with high costs. Reliance to expert knowledge will help you avoid stress, loss of money, and the need for further changes.
  • Many people visit your website but few take the desired action, such as purchasing, subscribing to the newsletter, reading the article, etc. This may mean your website needs to be optimized for user experience or that users need to trust the website to leave their data.
  • You want to know your advantages and opportunities for improvement over the competition. What determines the choice of a given website or application is not only the proposed offer but the ease of use and adaptation to the needs. Optimizing the user experience can improve the comfort of using the website, encouraging users to use it and increasing profits.

UX audit, what's next?

A UX audit is an affordable and quick way to solve your UX issues. By having an audit, you’ll improve your product’s competitiveness and value, and create something that’ll expand your marketing reach.

The audit's outcome is a comprehensive report with a list of errors, suggestions to fix them, and recommendations. Besides sending the report, we meet the client to present the findings and answer their questions. You can download an example of the UX audit below.

Then you can implement the recommendations by yourself, or we can also continue our cooperation with our team of design and programming experts.

The UX audit can improve your conversion rates, brand perception, and sales.
