But, new data from ADI suggests that these digital consumers might be experiencing fatigue, as total time spent on websites was down across the board.

Why Happy Developers Equal Happy Customers:
The consumer today controls more of the sales funnel than ever before, and the digitization of businesses is just one reason why. Because of this trend, businesses have begun to focus on customer experience, or the experience a consumer has with your brand in the absence of a human (customer service professional)–so think websites and apps. In this blog, you’ll learn about how customer experience relies heavily on your development team, and how building a better team and culture can ultimately lead to greater business success.
