    San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 01, 2011

    Ecommerce sales in the United States reached $38 billion in the first quarter of 2011, according to comScore. People shop online because of convenience and the massive selection. Naturally, a key to success in running an online store is making sure it’s easy for customers to find what they want, when they want to buy it. It all comes down to the search application. Designing a great search experience, however, isn't that simple. In Designing Search: UX Stratgeis for eCommerce Success (Wiley; $39.99; May 2011; ISBN: 9780470942239), UX (user experience) expert Greg Nudelman uses his years of experience working on popular eCommerce websites such as Ebay, PayPal, and CapitalOne to provide a blueprint for UX designers, software engineers, and business people to create great eCommerce search experiences that delight shoppers, and increase sales.

    With this invaluable book, the author shares his years of experience working on popular eCommerce sites and tackles the most difficult eCommerce search design problems. Nudelman takes a unique forward-thinking look at trends such as integrating searching with browsing to create highly effective and intuitive eCommerce search design solutions. Designing Search is full of UX design strategies and patterns that have been carefully developed, researched, and tested for success. When implemented, customers buy more, leave the store happier, and tell their friends and social networks about the positive experience they had using the site or mobile app. Topics includes:


    •      Creating memorable, delightful search experiences

    •      Turning "no search results" pages into new sales opportunities

    •      Discovering why shoppers behave as they do

    •      Using "more like this" search to help customers make quick decisions

    •      Designing intuitive search interactions using faceted search filters

    •      Using contextual mobile search to create portable eCommerce solutions

    •      Taking full advantage of the unique design challenges and capabilities of tablet devices

    •      Learning from case studies that put the design concepts into practice

    •      Using novel search design patterns to trounce the competition

    Designing Search is essential to a broad range of UX designers, product managers, software engineers, and marketers working on Web and mobile application design and development. Readers need no prior knowledge of designing search user interfaces, only interest in the subject of eCommerce search. Seasoned UX design professionals will find fresh, creative ideas and actionable design strategies in this book that can keep them busy for years to come. For anyone responsible for creating eCommerce or other search and browse user interfaces, Designing Search provides a wealth of best practices to these unique design issues.
