Slack’s E-Commerce UX
This is a case study of Slack’s e-commerce user experience (UX) performance. It’s based on an exhaustive performance review of 255 design elements. 243 other sites have also been benchmarked for a complete picture of the e-commerce UX landscape.
Slack’s overall e-commerce UX performance is decent. This is especially thanks to perfect Page Types & Design and good Homepage & Navigation UX performances, but Slack is impeded by broken Sign-Up & Account Management and mediocre Checkout.
First benchmarked in December 2021.
