Throughout 2022, it became evident that websites were popping up like mushrooms, especially among small and medium-sized businesses who wanted to compete for conversions, boost sales, and generate more income. Therefore, it’s not surprising that in 2023, anyone wanting their own website will face intense competition.

Above all, to have a good website, the first thing to focus on isn’t adding random features but considering User Experience (UX), which means designing a good experience for users. This is a crucial factor in whether visitors decide to stay or leave. To ensure just how important UX is to websites, Relevant Audience has gathered some interesting statistics. If you’re ready, let’s take a look.
