Challenges

Challenge 1: Understanding digital best practices

Building effective digital solutions requires a deep understanding of various aspects of customer engagement such as:

1. User research: Understanding the needs, goals, and pain points of the target users through research methods such as surveys, interviews, and user testing.

2. Interaction design: Creating intuitive, user-centered interfaces that guide users through the app or website in a logical and efficient way.

3. Usability testing: Testing the design with real users to identify any issues or areas for improvement.

4. UI design: Creating visually appealing and consistent layouts, typography, and other design elements that enhance the overall user experience.

5. Accessibility: Building websites and apps that are accessible to users with disabilities and comply with accessibility guidelines.

Even those who make it a profession to build websites and apps have difficulty keeping up with all there is to know. With the constant evolution of technology and design trends, staying up to date on the latest knowledge and best practices can be a challenge.

Challenge 2: The effort and length of time to build.

Evem with best-practices knowledge, the challenge is that the tools available for building digital solutions can be cumbersome. The world's leading website builder, WordPress, reported in 2022 an average build time of 200 hours and 5 weeks.

Challenge 3: Best-practices and tools knowledge does not bring engagement.

Despite this significant investment of time and effort, there are still plenty of examples of websites that did not accomplish the type of engagement that was hoped for.

The reason for this is that these tools don't come with a built-in engine to help drive engagement. Instead, one has to bolt on everything through different plugins and tools, which can be a time-consuming and complex process. As a result, the end result may not be optimized for driving engagement.
