B2B eCommerce strategy has traditionally favored functionality over usability. However, a well-crafted user experience (UX) and intuitive user interface (UI) can be the difference between a thriving online shop and one that struggles to engage buyers. When decision-makers expect the same quality of experience as B2C shops, investing in UX/UI design becomes essential. It not only improves customer satisfaction but also drives conversions and fosters long-term business relationships.
