Optimization of ROI

Our audits identify friction points in your user journey - areas that prevent customers from completing desired actions. We develop solutions to eliminate these issues and increase your conversion rate. You can measure the optimization of the conversion rate with ROI.

What is a CRO Audit / UX Audit?

Digital applications are created for users. They expect, both implicitly and subconsciously, a certain level of usability and user-friendliness on many levels. We examine your application or website with user experience tests according to all important usability standards. We identify potential improvements, pinpoint problems or friction points, and develop concrete action recommendations.

[Translate to Englisch:] Design Workshop

Usability (User-friendliness)

Our UX experts assess the user-friendliness of your application using established User Experience Tests based on ISO criteria and usability standards. The interaction principles include:Aufgabenangemessenheit,

  • Task Appropriateness
  • Self-Descriptiveness
  • Consistency with Expectations
  • Learnability
  • Controllability
  • Robustness against User Errors
  • User Engagement

Accessibility

From July 2025 at the latest, companies will be largely legally obliged to make eCommerce systems, digital services, websites, and apps barrier-free accessible. Accessibility includes all users and guarantees a better user experience. We check whether an interactive system enables the user to interact with it, regardless of their level of vision, hearing, dexterity, thinking, or physical mobility. Testing according to the following criteria:

  • Perceptibility
  • Usability
  • Understandability
  • Robustness
  • Customizability
  • Content Preparation

  • User Guidance

Unser Vorgehen für Ihre eCommerce
Conversion Rate Optimierung

1. Planning phase

[Translate to Englisch:] Planphase

Planning phase

During a kick-off meeting, we establish a shared understanding of the project goals and project scope, as well as how we can increase your conversion rate. We define the metrics to be optimized, ideally including a Northstar metric, and gather existing documents such as buyer personas or customer journey maps. Subsequently, stakeholder interviews may be conducted to build a fundamental understanding of the target audience.

2. Analysis phase

[Translate to Englisch:] Analysephase

Analysis phase

During the analysis phase, all qualitative and quantitative data are interpreted, friction points are identified, and potential enhancements to user motivation are hypothesized. The analysis in this phase of conversion rate optimization includes:

  • Heuristic Website Evaluation
  • UX Audit according to WCAG standards & ISO guidelines
  • Technical Website Analysis
  • Web tracking / Analytics Audit
  • Conversion Path Analysis
  • User Research Analysis & Strategy
  • Examination of A/B Testing Program

3. Prioritization Phase

[Translate to Englisch:] Priorisierungsphase

Prioritization Phase

In the prioritization phase, we develop a prioritized action plan using the ICE framework (Impact, Confidence, Effort). This helps not only to achieve temporary improvements in conversion rate optimization but also empowers you internally to increase your conversion rate in the long term and independently. The assessment of feasibility is done in coordination with internal stakeholders.
