ESCON Consulting advises e-commerce platforms of all sectors in the area of website usability. The focus is on mobile usability, which is becoming increasingly important. The mobile phone is rapidly becoming the device of first contact with a website. Unfortunately, mobile devices do not offer the same amount of space as desktop screens to transfer important information to customers. This presents a significant challenge for many e-commerce platforms.

In addition to website usability, we also advise our clients on online and offline marketing, analysing PPC and direct marketing channels to increase conversion rates.

A third important pillar is management training in all e-commerce topics to enable managers to understand their employees with online DNA and, above all, to be able to realistically evaluate their work results.
