Almost 76% of ecommerce decision makers in the US, UK and Canada believe customers’ perceptions of their brand are directly impacted by the quality of user experience on their ecommerce website. Given that consideration, 33% of respondents have revealed plans to invest heavily in the overall design of their ecommerce platforms, and 29% in improving overall user experience, in order to get higher online conversion rates in 2014.

These are the findings of a survey commissioned by web infrastructure and cloud hosting provider PEER 1 Hosting. The survey delves into the problem of how can merchants deliver an optimized online experience for end users that can appeal to customer’s trust in brands and customer loyalty.
