3 Key Tips On How to Make Your Website User-Friendly

Making your website user-friendly is extremely important to make sure your customers keep coming back.

When UsabilityTools published the results of a case study that analyzed and tested the websites of 8 universities, it became clear that the people preferred websites with clear menu labels and transparent information.

Videos have dwell time—the length and percentage of each video watched.

Even webinars have show-up and re-watch rates to use as measures of customer satisfaction.

But what if your customer interaction is mostly or entirely offline?

If a customer has actually appeared inside your place of business (retail, restaurant, professional services office, theater, car dealership, or anything that might reasonably appear on Yelp), gathering feedback from that customer AT THAT TIME is critical.

This is not a hypothetical customer—like a webinar attende… Read More
