What is user experience (UX)?
The simplified definition
UX يعني تصميم موقع يتمحور حول العميل، مو حول المصمم.
It is a blend of appearance (UI) and ease of use, so the customer quickly reaches the information or product they want.
The difference between UX and UI
- UI = User Interface → the interface design (colors, buttons, fonts).
- UX = User Experience → how the customer feels while browsing the website.
The role of UX in conversions
- A comfortable website = longer time, higher trust, and a greater purchase rate.
- Many Saudi websites lose their visitors simply because the buy button is not clear or their pages are complicated.
Why is UX important for Saudi websites?
Saudi user behavior
- Most browsing and purchasing happens on mobile first.
- The Saudi customer loves speed and simplicity.
Digital competition
- The market is packed with stores → if the customer struggles on your website, they go to your competitor.
The impact of UX on search engines
- Google measures Bounce Rate and Dwell Time.
- A website with a comfortable interface keeps the visitor around longer, and this raises your ranking.
- The Saudi customer bores quickly.
- Competition is fierce.
- Google measures the visitor's experience.
- Improving UX = real sales.
Practical steps to improve user experience

The relationship between UX and CRO
What is CRO?
CRO = conversion rate optimization → increasing the percentage of visitors who buy or register.
How does UX help with CRO?

- Poor UX = the customer flees before reaching the payment stage.
