2023 Web Design & Customer Experience Report

Website design and functionality undoubtedly affects customer experience and sales. 23% of shoppers are “frustrated” with slow-loading sites—causing many retailers to invest in new design and features to gain a competitive advantage.  

However, even amid these frustrations, shoppers are less enamored with buying on a mobile phone than with buying on a desktop. A Digital Commerce 360 and Bizrate Insights survey in October 2022 of 1,107 shoppers showed a 10-percentage point difference in how often desktop shopping received a top score versus mobile shopping. 

The 2023 Web Design & Customer Experience Report is packed with shocking data and surprising new trends, like the rise of virtual shopping in the metaverse and the expanded use of augmented reality to show shoppers how clothes will fit them.   

This report examines what shoppers want from an ecommerce website and what retailers are delivering.  

Get an inside look at trends in design, the change in tools that developers are using to design sites and exclusive findings from our extensive shopper survey.
