It’s great to have a visually appealing website, but if visitors don’t convert into customers because of it, the design’s aesthetic isn’t working. Here comes the UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) to take center stage. These aren’t just design buzzwords; they directly impact whether a user sticks around on your site, clicks “Buy Now,” or leaves and never comes back.
Here at eLeoRex Technologies, we have worked with companies spanning various domains, and one thing remains common: businesses that prioritize UI/UX have higher returns. However, to demonstrate impact, you must measure the right metrics.
Why Do UI/UX Design and Conversions Mix?
Imagine that your website is like a bricks-and-mortar shop:
- UI encompasses design, signage, and decoration.
- UX is about making it easy to find what you want, whether the staff are friendly, and if you enjoyed your visit.
If the store is visually appealing (UI) and easy to navigate (UX), visitors are more likely to make a purchase. The same applies online. A frustrating user experience or a poorly designed site will send potential customers on their way sometimes in seconds.
We at eLeoRex Technologies have experienced this firsthand by revamping a client’s previously messy and slow-loading site with a more streamlined layout and a simplified checkout process.
UI/UX Elements That Drive Conversions
1. Navigation Simplicity
People should be able to find what they are looking for in a couple of clicks. Confusing menus increase bounce rates.
A common practice at eLeoRex is mapping out user journeys during the wireframe stage, ensuring menus and flows feel intuitive before entering development.
2. Page Speed
Slow-loading sites frustrate users. Each additional second of load time can decrease conversions.
At eLeoRex Technologies, we develop lean code and optimized visuals to ensure your sites will load in a few seconds.
3. Mobile Optimization
And with most traffic originating from mobile devices, responsive design is not a nice-to-have, but an absolute must. A bad mobile experience will kill conversions.
4. Visual Hierarchy
A good UI directs the eye to CTAs, such as “Sign Up” or “Checkout.” Poor hierarchy buries them.
eLeoRex focuses on CTA placement during prototyping to test different positions and colors with clients before launch.
5. Trust-Building Elements
A firm’s privacy policy, testimonials, and security badges accredit its credibility, encouraging purchases.
Actual Measures of How UI/UX Affects Things
1. Conversion Rate (CR)
What it is: Percentage of users who take an action on your site.
Why it matters: The biggest smoking gun for UI/UX having an impact.
eLeoRex Insight: Just one tactic makes a big difference.
2. Bounce Rate
What it is: The percentage of visitors who come and go after viewing one page.
Why it matters: High bounce = bad first impressions.
eLeoRex Insight: We restructured one of our e-commerce clients’ homepage with clearer categories and faster load times.
3. Time on Page & Session Duration
So, it may be the case that Google is doing exactly what it says it isn’t, which brings me to the issue of time on page.
What it is: The amount of time users remain engaged.
The big picture: Time spent typically correlates with a better time.
eLeoRex Insight: We optimized one of our blogs’ readability and introduced micro-interactions, which led to an increase in average session time
4. Click-Through Rate (CTR) on CTAs
What it is: The percentage of users clicking on the “Buy Now” or “Sign Up” instead of dropping off.
Why it matters: It demonstrates whether your CTAs are noticeable.
eLeoRex Insight: By improving a client’s CTA through opposing contrasts and action-focused text, click-through rates improved.
5. Cart Abandonment Rate
What it is: Checkout abandonment rate.
Why it matters: A Sign of friction in the purchase flow.
eLeoRex Insight: We reduced a retailer’s 5-step checkout process to 3 steps. Result? Cart abandonment dropped effectively.
6. Task Success Rate
What it is: Proportion of users who accomplish a task without errors.
eLeoRex Insight: Through usability testing, we found that users struggled to use a search feature on a client’s site. After it was redesigned with predictive text, task success went up.
7. Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) & NPS
What it is: Feedback from users about satisfaction and loyalty.
The big picture: Happy customers are more likely to be repeat customers.
eLeaRex Insight: We deployed quick feedback widgets to a SaaS service, and increased customer satisfaction after addressing the most critical UX issues.
8. Error Rate
What it is: How often users make mistakes.
Why it matters: Mistakes = frustration = lost conversions.
eLeoRex Insight: Reducing the complexity of form fields and adding inline error messages has reduced errors for one of our clients.
