User Experience Creates Brand Loyalty
Users of the iPhone, iPad and other comparable mobile products are more likely to be as loyal to your brand as they are to their expensive love of tech products - especially if you give them a good user experience.

Increase Sales & Revenue
Login and Register buttons are major components for return customers. So much so that a popular ecommerce site increased their sales by the tune of $300 million by simply redesigning their login options.

Increase in Repeat Sales
Customer loyalty is generated out of repeat sales. High-end luxury brands rely on this consumer sales model, and the user experience on your website is one of the most influential factors for your target market.

Search Engines Work in Your Favor
An overwhelming majority of fashion websites are using disruptive technologies, such as flash and popup windows that block search engines from giving them better results. Chanel, Carolina Herrara, Marchesa, are just a few sites that are losing the value of search engines working in their favor. It is also likely the case that the sites with these invasive development languages are also missing the user friendly elements that encourage consumer purchases and brand loyalty.
