Systems and products are useful when it provides a service that is of use to the user. Creating products that revolve around user experience helps to provide the best usability.
2. Creates Structure & Guidance
User Experience can give structure to a product. Creating a great user experience can help a business figure out the goals that they have for their product. Often, planning and feedback is required to figure out these goals. Different perspectives can help in the planning process. Site structure, content and audience will fall into place when the business goals are set.
Detailed planning and coordination will allow user experience designers to know where to place the site components. In the digital realm, websites as well as mobile applications have a higher value when the user experience is great. Great user experience can be determined when users are able to interact and understand the placement of site components without feeling lost.
3. Better Business
Great user experience can lead to better customer retention. Good web design focused on user experience would cause the user to stay on the website longer and explore the different site components.
The quality of the user experience design will contribute greatly to either the success or failure of any product/service.
