It’s that time again: the one in which we reflect, think back on our accomplishments, and re-examine our place in this crazy, mysterious world. No, not New Year’s Eve. It’s article round-up time! Here’s a sample of our favorite articles from the month of December: Have you ever visited Amazon to purchase a pair of Saved By the Bell-themed pajamas (don’t lie), only to notice that Amazon was able to up-sell by casually noting that users who purchased the pajamas had also bought a Mr. Belding-themed tie? That’s part of responsive product catalog design, and you can build one too. It's an amazing way to increase sales while you help your customers. Another way to respond to your customers' needs is by designing an adaptive ecommerce website. This technology "remembers" each customer and adapts after every visit based on what they're most likely to want and need. It's like every single customer has their own personal friendly old shopkeeper named Gordon who remembers their name and asks about their children. But unlike Gordon, adaptive websites won't require you to politely accept off-brand lollipops. Yeah, you know mobile ecommerce is a pretty big deal.
