“To support a successful user experience, e-commerce sites must have clear navigation, accurate product information, and an efficient checkout process. We call these factors ‘traditional usability’ because they are under the control of the interface designer. However, in testing e-commerce sites, usability professionals often encounter issues outside the realm of traditional usability, such as a user who refuses to complete a purchase because the shipping cost is too high.

This site is meant to be a resource for those who encounter these issues to help those who are dealing with the same.”
