In this book, you will learn how to:
- Change the standard design process most companies follow to enhance accountability for generating business and customer value, while creating new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
- Use qualitative and quantitative research to uncover customers’ unmet needs, and A/B test new designs to help customers accomplish their goals.
- Apply customer-centric design principles based on the advice of experts from Google, Facebook, The Washington Post, Saks Fifth Avenue, and others, who share how they help their customers with before-and-after examples of their designs.
This book is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Creating Engaging Customer Experiences. This part discusses the level of importance design now plays in the business world, challenges the standard design process implemented by most companies, and introduces the Iterative Optimization Methodology by showing how design testing can lead to more creative and impactful designs.
Part 2: The Iterative Optimization Methodology. Using real-life examples, this part describes how to drive business and customer value in step-by-step detail. It shows how companies can integrate qualitative and quantitative customer research, prioritize website sections and design ideas for testing, experiment with new designs under real market conditions, and scale optimization techniques across their organization.
Part 3: Visual Business Cases. In this part, business leaders from 20 companies share examples of their favorite design tests and discuss practical approaches for using data to inform customer-centric design:

On the importance of design to online business:
No matter how great a business idea is, or what technology it relies on behind the scenes, a company needs to express itself visually in a way customers will understand in order to be successful. The number of ways to translate an idea into a design is infinite, but which designs will drive customer value? Michael Krypel’s Refining Design for Business answers this key question, showing you how to create engaging and measurable customer experiences.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
