So, what does the whole equation look …

Whenever I feel like watching a movie on Netflix, I go on Twitter and search for “Netflix movie recommendations.” 

This saves me a lot of time scrolling through Netflix, looking for a good movie to watch.

According to Searchengineland, I’m not the only one. This behavior is typical among online shoppers. 85% of consumers read up to 10 reviews before making a purchase decision.

Ask the actual users to narrate their experience, and many times, you will find that the story is different. 

It’s either they’re having issues locating the call to action button (which could be because it blends in with the website’s background), or the mobile check-out experience is horrible, or they’re having issues navigating between different pages of the product.

Many websites are good to go by the teams’ standard, but they provide terrible navigation experiences for the …
