We often look to analytics and usability to achieve similar goals: understanding our users so that we can improve customer experience and increase sales. But how can the two disciplines work hand-in-hand to drive bigger benefits?
Are there lessons from one field that can be applied to enhance the learnings of the other? Can you research your web analytics for useful ‘clues’ to indicate potential user experience issues?
This informative talk will demonstrate how analytics can highlight usability issues, verify their impact in monetary terms, and quantify the up-lift gained from a user-focused design:
- Using analytics data to identify and prioritise usability issues
- Quantifying the impact of usability issues and improvements on the bottom line
- Avoiding the statistical red herrings
