Neiman Marcus UX Case Study
This is a case study of Neiman Marcus’ e-commerce user experience (UX) performance. It’s based on an exhaustive performance review of 648 design elements. 250 other sites have also been benchmarked for a complete picture of the e-commerce UX landscape.
Neiman Marcus’ overall e-commerce UX performance is mediocre. This is mainly due to poor Product Page, Customer Accounts, and Site-Wide Features performances.
First benchmarked in April 2012, and reviewed 20 times since then, most recently in February 2023.
