Personalization and customization

It is important to have a personalized experience for providing individual information and recommended products to users. UI/UX design requires the introduction of customization functions and recommended systems based on user preferences and action history.


Mobile First Design

Mobile -friendly design is important because the user's access from mobile devices is increasing. In the UI/UX design, it is necessary to consider interfaces suitable for mobile environments, such as responsive design and mobile optimization.


Seamless multi -channel experience

It is common for users to contact products and services using multiple channels (EC sites, mobile apps, social media, etc.). In the design of UI/UX, it is important to provide consistent and seamless experiences between different channels.


Storytelling and brand experience

Storytelling is a method that gives an attractive narrative and emotion to products and brands. On EC sites, by communicating products and brand stories to customers, you can attract customers and promote sympathy for the brand. Storytelling is used as a means of conveying the background of the product, the episode of development, the use and effects of products. It is also important to differentiate the product and emphasize the uniqueness of the brand.

Is the characteristics and charm of the product fully conveyed?

On the product page, the features need to be described in a concise and easy -to -understand manner. If it is difficult to communicate with images alone, it is necessary to add a video, such as putting a video.

Personalization is a marketing method that provides content to your customers.

Providing an experience tailored to each person can improve customer satisfaction.

  • We recommend related products according to the products you have viewed
  • Display recommended articles according to the viewed products
  • Send a discount coupon only to customers who purchased a specific product
