UX Training Workshops
Private for Your Team, and Customized to Your Industry
Baymard’s senior UX researchers will host 8 remote training & workshop sessions privately for your company with examples customized to your industry. These 8 sessions (each 3.5-4 hours) will share the findings from Baymard’s 110,000 hours of large-scale UX research, and experience from working with clients like Google, Shopify, Sears, TaylorMade, Nike, John Lewis, Carnival, T-mobile, etc.
The UX training will be “hands-on” where your team(s) will be working on applying all research findings to your own site(s). This will both anchor the UX knowledge better in your organization but also make the private training ideally suited to be a driver for identifying and prioritizing UX changes in your organization.
Compared to general public UX workshops and training, our company-specific training & workshop is cost-efficient if you plan on having just 4 or more employees attend.
“Baymard’s training provides the proper language and sound evidence to understand what it mean to create a truly usable interface in the ecommerce business.”

Empower Your Organization With In-Depth Research
The UX Training & Workshop Program goals are to:
Share the condensed findings of Baymard Institute’s 110,000 hours of large-scale UX research, showing exactly how and why users interpret and misinterpret e-commerce interfaces.
Share specific UX design patterns and discuss why those designs work well, by studying ‘State of the Art’ e-commerce UX designs. These are chosen among Baymard’s 140,000+ categorized ‘best- and worst-practice’ examples from leading e-commerce sites, and chosen among whatever industry/country you operate in (via a custom research phase that you specify).
Solidify the internal UX mindset at your company among your UXers, and qualify the UX mindset in other parts of the organization (e.g., among product managers, developers, designers, or web content creators), by providing a deep understanding of user behavior that can act as a framework for your company’s UX thinking going forward.
Kick-start specific UX and feature redesigns with research-based input for change, all of which is developed and anchored in your organization, and facilitated by Baymard.
Fast-track UX knowledge in new teams and organizations.
Develop a team of ‘Certified E-Commerce UX Professionals’. All attendees participating in a UX training workshop can opt for taking an optional exam. Anyone who passes the exams for all 5 topics will earn the certification.
Note that at these workshops, we will not work with “fun ideas & inspiration found at various places on the internet” but only work with verified design patterns that have consistently shown to perform well during years of usability testing of the world’s leading sites.
“Absolutely superb training! I’m genuinely impressed with how much I learned in 5 days. I would highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to learn how to create state of art e-commerce user experiences.”

“Every day of the training was accompanied by a list of discoveries that I could directly design solutions for into my site. I was able to bring these designed solutions home with me and kickoff multiple optimization projects that I am confident will affect the site in a positive way, both in usability and conversion”
Nick Frame
Lead UX Designer at TaylorMade
A ‘Hands-On Approach’ to Learning
The topics and research findings presented are mixed with a “hands-on” approach where, through multiple group exercise sessions throughout each day, your employees will work on applying the UX research findings directly to your own site(s) (or to your client’s sites).
This “hands-on” training framework is used to instill both the internal discussion and prioritization that emerge as new UX design changes are made, and to better anchor knowledge in the organization (through “learning by doing”).
As part of the UX training workshop, your company will therefore also end up with several concrete re-design proposals from your own teams.
“I wanted to begin by saying how incredibly impressed I have been all this week with both the degree/depth of content shared on UX/UI best practices for eCommerce experiences as well as specifically your presentation skills. This has by far been one of the most valuable conferences/workshops I have ever attended in my professional career.”

Customized to Your Industry & Country
When you order an 8-session UX training program, one of Baymard’s UX researchers will initiate a 2-day research project of customizing our existing UX training materials specifically for your company by adding 50-150 extra website examples specific to your industry and country. Regardless of whether your company focus is “health care insurance quotation websites”, ”telco sites in Canada”, or “grocery sites in Germany”.
We find this custom research phase, created specifically for your company, to be critical in making the training topics more relatable to the attendees and for getting stakeholder buy-in.
“Thank you. This was an excellent piece of work: professional, thorough, and actionable for the team. We’re very happy with the work Baymard has done for us so far, and I hope we’ll have the chance to work together again on future projects.”

“We’ve been consuming the Baymard Institute reports for a while but the in-house workshop was really the thing that connected all the dots around ecommerce UX together for us. Now our entire team has a common base of understanding, a language, and clear quantified evidence of the importance of common UX guidelines and pitfalls. Reading a report is one thing but actually forcing yourself to apply findings on a real world case was the greatest takeaway from the workshop. UX is often an tricky science subject to a lot of emotional bias and gut feeling. Not so much anymore.”
“Truly a great learning experience about almost every aspect of eCommerce and the steps you need to take to improve the shopping experience for your users. Everyone working with eCommerce should attend this course. Absolutely worth the investment!”
“I wanted to begin by saying how incredibly impressed I have been all this week with both the degree/depth of content shared on UX/UI best practices for eCommerce experiences as well as specifically your presentation skills. This has by far been one of the most valuable conferences/workshops I have ever attended in my professional career.”
“This is without a doubt the most important eCommerce training I’ve ever done. Knowing the right approach for converting the average user puts us massively ahead of the competition.”
“The workshop with Christian provides a great overview of the research Baymard has done in the past years. It pulls it all together perfectly and increases the value of Baymard Pro by magnitudes. If you are considering Pro and you want to come up to speed in no time, book the workshop along with it.”
“Every day of the training was accompanied by a list of discoveries that I could directly design solutions for into my site. I was able to bring these designed solutions home with me and kickoff multiple optimization projects that I am confident will affect the site in a positive way, both in usability and conversion. Being able to have Christian and Lauryn from Baymard Institute look over my shoulder and give me feedback and direction based on the 28,000 hours of independent research that their organization has done was incredibly helpful.”
“Baymard’s training provides the proper language and sound evidence to understand what it mean to create a truly usable interface in the ecommerce business.”
“Among the best experiences I’ve had in any training or conference. The attitude was one of helping us improve our sites and not just making a profit. As attendees we were treated very well and given top notch information to work with. Both Christian and Lauryn were very accessible and helpful.”
“A great, informative and impactful weeklong workshop with Baymard. We left with many actionable insights into how to improve overall user experience on our site. Our team now feels confident in their ability to identify and solve issues on their own.”
“The training was worth every penny and kudos to Christian and Lauryn for doing such a great job. My mind was definitely blown.”
“At the beginning you may think that the course is a bit pricey. But on the first day you realize how underestimated it is. The value you get every single day is huge. And if you implement even 1% of that information - you’ll cover the cost of the course multiple times. This is the only UX ecommerce course you need.”
“If you’re a UX designer and you’re looking for a boost in your professional career, this course is like rocket fuel. Not only was each day packed with years of usability insight but it was presented in the most easy to consume manner. I’m humbled by the UX wisdom at the Baymard and extremely grateful to have been a part of this workshop.”

“Baymard’s workshop was engaging, informative, well paced and full of all kinds of applicable UX nuggets. I left the workshop with a list of actionable insights to share with my product team. 10 out of 10 would recommend and sign up for again!”
“The UX training course with Baymard is something I wish I had the opportunity to do many years ago. It is a subject matter that everyone who touches any process of website development should know first-hand. Christian did an excellent job at explaining the many guidelines and made it easy to take-in a large amount of comprehensive information without feeling overwhelmed.”
“Thank you. This was an excellent piece of work: professional, thorough, and actionable for the team. We’re very happy with the work Baymard has done for us.”
“Baymard produces some of the most relevant and actionable user experience research available. They really understand the needs of UX and Product Management professionals, and their deep experience in the eCommerce field allows them to offer sophisticated, nuanced insights.”
“Thank you for a great workshop with good insights and points of action for checkouts. Looking forward to follow your research going forward”
“Baymard’s UX for ecommerce workshop is an intense week of data-driven, applied research which will give you the tools and insight to vastly improve your ecommerce user experience and sales performance.
