Understanding Friction in Digital Growth
Eliminating friction is crucial for digital growth, but it's not about removing all friction; it's about placing the right friction where it matters. Users often need reassurances, particularly during the checkout process, such as customer testimonials or secure logos, which build confidence. If these elements are removed in the pursuit of speed, it can actually decrease conversions due to a lack of trust. Therefore, a balanced approach that strategically incorporates appropriate friction can enhance user experience without compromising on speed.
