Engaging Users

Website users today expect an interactive and engaging experience across all websites they visit and transact with – and so well they might, as more websites blur the boundaries between web pages and native applications, and supply the user with ever more powerful tools.

Not every website needs to “be the best, be leading edge” and make interactivity a primary concern. Instead, website development teams (and we’re not just talking designers here) need to have the authority to conceive and deliver creative, consistent, and engaging websites – this requires input from all skill sets across the full team; designers, information architects, SEM, developers, project managers. Interactivity consideration is increasingly important, and giving it due consideration is the first step in creating an experience that can charm users.

Succeeding in this could just be the difference that gets users to make themselves at home in a site instead of heading back to Google.
