FREE BENCHMARKING REPORTS
We now have two user experience benchmarking reports, the first was on UK m=
obile phone e-commerce. Our latest is a comparison of the top 6 clothing re=
tailer sites from the US and UK (12 in total). We can use a similar approac=
h to benchmark intranets, with no long-term commitment or expense. Get in t=
ouch if you want to have your own e-commerce site or intranet benchmarked.
