U/X: Five reasons your customers are leaving your e-Commerce store
What is U/X and should your user experience online vary greatly from the user experience you would get in a brick & mortar store? After attending a U/X class at General Assembly last month (www.generalassemb.ly ), I was able to look at U/X in new light that allowed me to draw significant parallels from both online shopping and shopping at an actual store and how the two encompass a lot of the same processes, but present them to the customer in much different ways.
Below are my top tips for making your users feel like VIPs, not like another email address with access to a credit card. (more…)

Why social commerce will become the eCommerce standard
The eCommerce industry, like every other industry online, has been shaken up by the socialization of the web and the explosion in smart phone adoption across the world. The industry as a whole has benefited from the billion or so people that have connected online in the last 5 years but overall has been slow to integrate and leverage the numerous social tools and networks available. In this post I will focus on this hesitation and make an argument for why those that decide to adopt social commerce principles will be around to tell the story, and welcome in a new era, where social commerce becomes the eCommerce standard.

The History of Pixafy
Pixafy President Uri Foox answers questions about how Pixafy came to be:
Q: How did the idea for Pixafy come about? How many employees did you start with, and how many are there now?
Uri: It’s the culmination of the last 13 years of working and building online businesses. I’ve specialized in building product companies and therefore have touched nearly every part of the domain from the software engineering, to the design, to the infrastructure and all of the business side of it as well. Because of this it was kind of a natural evolution to take that knowledge and package it into a services company. Pixafy was officially started in April of 2010 as the concept I just described. It was more of a “can we do this?” phase with some starter projects.
I was lucky enough to win the confidence of the amazing branding and design company Red Antler, which gave Pixafy three projects to work on simultaneously in August of 2010. From there I quickly expanded and hired the first full-time employee, Joshua O’Connell, in October of 2010. Josh and I have been working together since 1999, but this was the first time he has officially been a full-time salaried employee versus freelance. I convinced Josh to take the plunge by putting his salary in a separate bank account and told him if it wasn’t going to work out I’d just write him a check, and we’d try something else. Needless to say, that never happened, and we just hired our 20th employee in early 2012!
