Over the years the Internet bubble has really evolved; today, website design is not only simply concerned with the set up pages one after the other. User experience or UX (from the acronym user experience) has become an important factor in website development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you\u2019ve already started analyzing your audience? Do you know the Internet users who surf your website?  Does your site have all the information needed to provide the best experience for your users? Find out what exactly user experience is in the field of web design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is user experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term “user experience” was coined in the 1990s by Donald Norman. By definition, user experience is: \u201cThe responses and perceptions of a person resulting from the use or the anticipation of the use of a product, service or system\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mix between ergonomics and the human sciences, the user experience brings the most appropriate approach vis-a-vis a target audience based on many offers (products, services, companies, etc.). The more the approach is adapted, the more we notice an increase in satisfaction related to use of a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2010, user experience has become the huge asset for web marketing strategies. Many physical businesses have therefore integrated it into their business plan so as to enhance the positive perception that their customers may have about their products, services and brand awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the ever-increasing use of websites, UX has taken an even larger role as it has proven to be particularly suited to the online world. Thanks to the many existing analysis tools, today we can acquire a great knowledge about our users. Therefore, a company can easily know the demographics of users operating on its site. And it is this deeper understanding of users and their behavior that allows companies to develop effective marketing strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is obvious that the user experience is deeply rooted in the psychological aspect of the Internet. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to measure all the hidden emotional factors for every user. It is for this reason that user experience is not an exact science and that its implementation requires continuous treatment in order to adjust itself to different users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of user experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we have mentioned above, the user experience is a decisive factor in the development of web marketing strategies for numerous companies. User satisfaction vis-\u00e0-vis products or services is put under the microscope. The more users understand and appreciate your services, the more users will use these services, or recommend them to others; thereby promoting customer loyalty and increasing the visibility of a product, service or a business. Is it not the goal of every company?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this, the user experience plays on five key factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
