Mind-blowing Statistics on User Experience (UX)

This was a pretty good read on UX, or user experience. Here are some interesting points from the article:

Slow-loading websites cost retailers £1.73bn in lost sales each year
85% of adults think that a company’s mobile website should be as good or better than their desktop website
Judgments on web site credibility are 75% based on a website’s overall aesthetics
First impressions are 94% design-related
70% (of the 200 small business websites evaluated) don’t display clear calls-to-action for anything on their home pages
You are 64 times more likely to climb Mount Everest than clicking on a banner ad

Food for thought.
