COMMERCE STRATEGY
Build high-intent commerce: maximize certainty, minimize effort.
The Funnel
- - Acquisition: Instant relevance. Visitors must know "this is for me" in seconds.
- - Activation: Zero-friction, no-roadblock starts. No forced accounts; search must work.
- - Retention: Persistent states. Save progress across journey and devices to remove re-entry pain.
- - Referral: Operational excellence. Product excellence and clear expectations drive word-of-mouth.
- - Revenue: Make the final decision to buy an easy one. Price integrity. No hidden fees; show costs early to close.
UX Principles
01 Information Architecture
Structure for instant orientation. Answer: Where am I? What’s here? What’s next? Labels must predict results; hierarchy must match mental models.
02 Typography & Visuals
Typography-first. Grid. Hierarchy via size/weight/white space. Every element earns its spot.
03 Interaction
Don't make them think. Recognition over recall. Limit choices (5–7 items). Design for satisficing; users pick the first "good enough" option.
04 Accessibility
If it’s not inclusive, it’s broken. WCAG AA (4.5:1 contrast). 48px touch targets. Full keyboard/ARIA support.
05 Responsive
Desktop: F-pattern density. Match interaction to device constraints. Mobile: Thumb zones. Tablet: No hover.
06 Conversion & Inputs
Single-column forms. Labels over inputs. Validate on blur. One primary CTA. Error messages must preserve data and provide fixes.
