Sigma Aldrich UX Case Study
This is a case study of Sigma Aldrich’s e-commerce user experience (UX) performance. It’s based on an exhaustive performance review of 500 design elements. 250 other sites have also been benchmarked for a complete picture of the e-commerce UX landscape.
Sigma Aldrich’s overall e-commerce UX performance is poor. Some of Sigma Aldrich’s biggest UX issues are caused by broken Cart & Checkout, poor Mobile Web, and poor Homepage & Category performances.
