While the importance of better UX/UI designs has been emphasised so much by industry experts and who’s whos of Web Development, here are some clear ideas as to what “better” really stands for and what are the best practices you can work out for your Magento Webshop development project. So let’s get started.

Understanding The Design Prototyping

Magento UX/UI design principles have been a hot topic in the developer’s community off late, and if an eCommerce Website owner or an enterprise decision-maker tries to make ways out of it, then they are bent on finding themselves in knee-deep confusion because different developers would each have a different grammatical approach towards the topic of Prototyping. But Design Prototyping is something that is unanimously addressed at the starting point for any UX design.

UX design prototyping involves all the experiments and doodlings and brainstorms addressed for the objective development of a seamless, enjoyable customer lifecycle. When done by professionals, there are multiple levels of fidelity that is trialled from scratch.

It is at this ...
... phase that the best practices take place, and one should understand that you can always give it a shot - the stupidest ideas, low-fidelity simple process, or something overly stunning and high-fidelity they are all welcome, based on the industry vertical.

Therefore while prototyping a design, the core objective is to streamline to the essence of the industrial vertical over the defined objectives - crush, not cut the fruit to extract its juices.

For example, when you are working with heavy-set multi-variate webshops, the best UXs would have more intuitive navigation, easy searchability, and diverse filter options. But if you are working on smaller, niche sites, then the emphasis can be on better branding effects, that will help boost the Company Profile through the website, even with a small product range.

Simplify The Content, Amplify The Information

Declutter your site. It is great that at your site you are offering a 50% Discount offers and many more, but it doesn’t have to be all over the place. Little do developers realise that dynamic call to actions, push notifications, sliding banners and other facets often end up confusing a customer. You don’t anymore have to be big to be bold. Have a neat promotions section where all your discounts and promotional offers can be found at once. The thing with push notifications is that if it is offering a discount, and is flashed in front of the user at the moment that they have entered the site, even though it is a good call to action, it would be of least use when they user is at the process of using the code while purchasing - if the code is not shown at the time of checkout as well. So what are they supposed to do? Get out of the site and log back in? Little do website owners know, that push notification cost a decent amount of money, and while they are very functional for the call to action, you can probably have the same kind of impact from a customer if the best offers are shown through a slider banner. Moreover, you can give the push notifications a miss but should not miss out listing the best offers at the checkout point. Because the other sites are doing it. And it is the best thing to use to gain customers’ respect. So that they will come back, not only because your products are good, but because they had a great shopping experience.

Utilise Magento Gamification Elements

Websites need to surprise and impress users and make them come back over and over again. You are never out of sorts with the Magento eCommerce Gamification options that offer diverse features, functions, graphics and visual effects that altogether contribute to the Gamification Experiences from style galleries, to social forums, social media integrations, wheel of fortune, rewards programs and lots more.
