1. HOW DO THE WORLD’S LARGEST BANKS IN FAIL IN UX?
The 10 biggest banks in the UK were tested, 87% of the users experienced at last one conversion killer. (Study by WhatUsersDo in Q4 2014, 100 participants.)
Compare this with: Nearly one in six homeowners applied for their current mortgage online (16%) and this is set to double, with 33% saying they are likely to apply for their next mortgage online, according to latest research from HSBC.

TEST DESIGN FOR DEI
Answer to some questions on brand perception and first impressions of the homepages, including how much trust does the site give them
Explore the mortgage offers to buy a new home
Apply for a mortgage
State how they would improve the site
Net Promoter Score
#uxmnl@wszp
SCORE
1-4: High or Medium level issues; i.e. problems that blocked users from converting online or made their journey very complicated.
5-6: Low level issues, little nudges that they overcome without almost realizing.
7-8: Basic usability, users were able to use the page with no problems, nor positive highlights.
9-10: Positive highlights, where the journey goes beyond users’ expectations and they feel delighted.

MORE RESULTS (THAT ARE ACTUALLY MEANINGFUL)
Banks are better at first impressions than actually making it easy to engage with them
Users get stuck on basic usability issues, easy to solve (for example: fields that don’t accept quantity with the comma as a divider)
Copywriting: understanding the jargon was the first big problem for first time buyers. The best experience in information areas came when users easily found an explanation of obscure terms.
Application forms were at best difficult or mildly annoying and at worse simply did not work

NET PROMOTER SCORE
Difference between what people say and what they do
Users remember better the most recent interaction with the site

4. HOW TO CREATE A UX STRATEGY?
1. Previous test analysis drives the decisions(quantitative and qualitative research)
2. Persona based strategy (but don’t try to find the personas in real world – panel segmentation)
3. Attainable goals (under promise, over deliver)
4. Timeline (include padding)
5. Not cast into stone! (Go agile or go home.)
#uxmnl@wszp
5. HOW TO TEST?
1. Experience starts before they land and after they bought
2. In the moment (Capturing insight at the point of interaction)
3. Natural (Doing things, not reviewing)
4. Quant and Qual (Data does not answer Why?)
5. Sample size matters

2. Where does the numbers come from?
3. Complexity?
4. Isn’t M{x', x", … } just a fancy way of saying: “Because I say so”?
5. How to get that many users in a lab? (Hint: you can’t)
#uxmnl@wszp
6. HOW TO MAKE YOUR BOSS HAPPY?
1. User-centricity should be part of corporate culture
2. Different level of communication to different stakeholders
3. Fix conversion blockers first (high low severity issue prioritization)
