How the audit is conducted
Data Collection
The first step involves gathering information about your business, customers, and competitors and assessing your site’s architecture and functionalities. We’ll need access to your Analytics to get acquainted with the most frequent customer flows, traffic sources, and different eCommerce metrics.
Data collection also involves initiating session recordings, configuring heat maps for crucial areas of the site, and surveying your customers. Observing customer behaviour from a first-hand perspective and getting their feedback provides invaluable insights into their interactions and on-site experience.
Competitive analysis
The second step of the audit is benchmarking your site to your closest competitors. This provides an overview of where your business stands in a larger context and helps identify what you or your competitors are doing better than each other.
Usability analysis
The third step of the UX Audit is a heuristic evaluation – the usability evaluation method used in user experience (UX) design and usability testing. It involves an expert assessing your site against established heuristics or usability principles. It’s based on existing usability heuristics and best practices in the eCommerce industry. During this evaluation, our experts will wear your customer’s shoes, pass the entire customer journey, and note challenges your customers encounter.
Report
The report contains a detailed overview of the site’s user experience, a list of UX issues ranked by severity, and actionable recommendations on how to solve them.
A typical timeframe for completing a UX audit is approximately four weeks. After completing the audit report, we schedule a meeting to discuss the findings and recommendations and answer any of your questions.
