E-commerce UX Design Playbook

The past few years has changed the way the world shops. The E-commerce and DTC sector has exploded with new creators and businesses. Now there are several tools out there that make creating a website easy today. But what makes a website stand out in the crowd?

Your website is the only employee that works 24/7 for you, so how do you make sure it's doing the best job for your business?

I wanted a playbook that covers every aspect of setting up an e-commerce website from someone who has personally designed for some of the top e-commerce sites in Asia and the USA. I wanted to get advice from someone that speaks from experience on UX design and ease of usability perspective.

@Sona J the writer of this playbook, was a designer at multiple startups and MNCs in diverse sectors.

Of course, we do realize that this is an ever-changing platform and there will be additions along the way.

Some of the elements covered in this playbook are:

- Visual appeal - Mobile Optimization - Product pages - Shopping Cart and Checkout Process - Accessibility: This adheres to guidelines for users with disabilities. - Call-to-Action - Customer support - Analytics and Testing.

I personally believe this playbook adds immense value to anyone starting out to create their e-commerce website; the content is structured with aesthetic and comprehensible visuals aimed toward helping you achieve significant growth in sales, better conversion rates, and overall customer satisfaction.

In that very spirit, I’d like to introduce you to: https://ecommerceuxdesign.com/

All the information and downloadables on this site are free, and we are keen to hear any and all feedback that you may have for us. Feel free to let us know what topics you'd like us to cover in future editions of the playbook.

Greetings, Product Hunters! 🧡

Throughout my experience working with various Fortune 500 companies and small to medium-sized e-commerce businesses, I have come to recognize the immense value that actionable UX design brings to customer satisfaction, conversion rates, and long-term success. As I embarked on this journey, I realized the need for a comprehensive playbook that goes beyond simple "How to's.”

eCommerce UX design is a passion project that is researched and nuanced to help small business owners and established eCommerce store owners looking to improve the experience of their e-commerce store.

Learnings from EUXD will be not just a “How to” but backed with practical design illustrations on how great UX designs can help you with the following.

- The Importance of First Impressions - Boosting Conversion Rates - Reducing Cart Abandonment - Fostering Customer Retention - Generating Positive Word of Mouth - Building Trust - Cost-effective Marketing - Encouraging Repeat Purchase

I’d like your feedback on what more could be added to this playbook. My intention is to continually update and make it freely accessible, aiming to help store owners and designers provide outstanding value to their customers. I hope you find my insights valuable.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
