What is UX?

User experience refers to the set of sensations, emotions and perceptions that a person experiences when interacting with a product, service, application or website. More specifically, user experience focuses on how users interact with a product or service, how they feel when using it and how they behave accordingly.

It can be evaluated in terms of factors such as ease of use, accessibility, efficiency, satisfaction and usability. To improve user experience, designers and developers can use techniques such as user research, user-centered design and continuous optimization.

What happens if UX is not used when creating an application or web page?

If UX is not used when creating an application or web page, you can know, with a fairly high level of certainty, that the user experience will not be positive at all. This can have negative consequences in several ways:

• User retention: if the user experience is poor, users are less likely to return to the application or website in the future.
•  
  Sales conversion: if the goal of the app or website is to sell a product or service, a poor user experience can decrease the sales conversion rate, which can have an impact on revenue.
•  
  Brand reputation: a negative user experience can generate negative reviews and damage brand reputation.
•  
  Additional costs: if the user experience is poor, you may need to invest in changes and improvements to improve it, which can be costly and time-consuming.

UX analysis as an iterative process

The next step is to iterate the design based on user feedback. This may involve making adjustments to the design, adding new functionality or removing functionality that is not needed.

Once the design iteration is complete, the product or service can be released to the market. However, the UX analysis process does not end there. User experience data can be continuously collected through metrics analysis and user feedback, and used to improve the user experience over time.

It is recommended that a metrics review process be done on an ongoing basis, at least once a month, so that the website or application evolves as the user's way of thinking evolves, stays ahead of the curve and captures people's constant attention, making the user experience constantly satisfying.

In conclusion, UX is one of the most important aspects in the development of websites and web applications. It can improve user satisfaction, increase loyalty and retention, enhance brand image and product reputation. Therefore, it is important to make UX a priority consideration in the development and design of any website or web application.

To find out if your website takes into account the user experience you can download the following document and assess whether you can implement improvements that will ultimately be reflected in: increased leads, increased time the user stays on the website, customer loyalty and, very importantly, sales and revenue for your company.
