As 2023 comes to a close, at Baymard we’re awarding the companies with the top 1% UX performance across 18 industries, as well as the top 1% for theme and platform (e.g. top 1% checkout UX performance, top 1% mobile e-commerce UX performance, etc.).

We want to recognize and congratulate this year’s winners for delivering great digital experiences to their end-users and hope they will be an inspiration for others.

You can explore the case studies for each of the winning sites in the UX benchmark.

The Top 1% E-Commerce UX Award Winners for 2023 Are:

The winners are selected from among the 234 top-grossing US and European e-commerce sites in our UX database. The award is based on more than 215,000 weighted UX performance scores in the database. Each of the 234 websites has been manually benchmarked using 500-680 weighted UX guidelines — a process that has required more than 10,000 hours of UX auditing work (more on methodology).
