28. Shops move Online.
1995 - 2007

29. Namics.1995 – 2007: SHOPS MOVE ONLINE
A question.
What was the first thing ever ordered online?

30. This.

31. Namics.1995 – 2007: SHOPS MOVE ONLINE
Drivers. Established retailers.
Conventional retailers look for
alternative sales channels and new
services online.
31

32. Namics.1995 – 2007: SHOPS MOVE ONLINE
Drivers. New players.
Innovative players in the
retail market build their
business model on selling
stuff online
Examples:
 Amazon
 eBay
 etc.

33. Namics.33
The web as a sales channel promises:
 Nearly unlimited reach
 24/7 shopping (no more opening hours)
 Low fixed costs (personnel, showrooms)
 New promotional options
 Easy maintenance
But…
Brave new online world?
1995 – 2007: SHOPS MOVE ONLINE

34. Namics.341995 – 2007: SHOPS MOVE ONLINE
Challenges.
 Creating a good user experience in online shops is tricky:
 Enable users to find the desired product
 Organization and appealing presentation of content
 The users need to learn and get used to new patterns
 E-Commerce requires a new set of technological skills.
 Additional personnel is required for setup and maintenance.

39. Mobile Optimization.
2007 - 2012

40.  The 1st iPhone. Simple
as that.
 The iPhone redefines
the way we browse the
web on a mobile device
But…

Drivers.

41. Namics.2007 – 2012: MOBILE OPTIMIZATION
Challenge.
41
This:

42. Namics.422007 – 2012: MOBILE OPTIMIZATION
Challenge.
 Websites made for desktop screens look and feel
awful on a mobile device!
 Formerly used navigation- and design patterns no
longer work because of:
 Smaller screen size
 Touch as a new way to interact (instead of mouse)
 The pinching and zooming gestures helped but
didn’t really solve the problem

43. Namics.432007 – 2012: MOBILE OPTIMIZATION
Solution.
 Specific templates for the
display of content on
mobile screens
 Depending on which
device type the visitor
uses, the content is
displayed differently
 Mobile-URLs
(e.g. m.facebook.com)

Mobile UX matters.
 Conversion rate strongly
depends on a good user
experience.
 Example: Bullymax, a pet food
retailer increased its conversion
rate by 24.5% just by improving
mobile user experience
Conversion:

50. Namics.502012 – 2015: MOBILE FIRST
Drivers.
 Mobile has overtaken Desktop as the most
important channel
 An optimal user experience on mobile screens is
critical for success.

51. Namics.512012 – 2015: MOBILE FIRST
Challenges.
 Users expect uncompromised experience on all devices.
 The question is how to ensure an optimal experience for
both mobile and desktop applications.
 Up until now, the premise was to base the concept of a
website on the desktop screen size and then adapting the
design to mobile screens.
