Home & Hardware Sites: New UX Benchmark with 2,700+ Performance Scores and 2,300+ Best Practice Examples

At Baymard we’ve just released a new UX benchmark of Home & Hardware sites, thereby expanding our existing Home & Hardware benchmark with 5 new UX case studies.

This follows from our large-scale user testing research on Home & Hardware sites and adds to our existing e-commerce UX benchmark.

5 New Home & Hardware UX Case Studies

The 5 sites added to our Home & Hardware benchmark have been manually assessed across 500+ research-based UX parameters relevant to Home & Hardware sites, resulting in 2,700+ weighted UX performance scores and 2,300+ worst and best practice examples.

For the benchmark, we rated 5 new Home & Hardware sites (bringing our total for the Home & Hardware benchmark to 13 sites): Menards, OBI, ACE Hardware, Leroy Merlin, and B&Q.

You can explore the 5 new Home & Hardware UX case studies using the below links:
