Customer’s experience is very important and it must be maintained to a high standard from the start of the sales process to it completion. Completion of the sales process in many cases is the actual receipt of physical goods ordered online or physically bought at a store or receipt electronic goods bought online. It shouldn’t be thought for an instant that customer experience ends with customers leaving the store or website they purchased from.

User experience can be defined as the reactor or nucleus of a brand where the brand is in essence the sum of the experiences a person has with a company or organization.

The overall experience of customer can be affected by a poor user experience in a number of ways.

Building websites using fluid grid layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 | June 18th 2013

In this article we examine how to start building a website using fluid grid layouts in Dreamweaver CS6. We look briefly at what fluid grid layouts are and provide a step by step guide in getting started followed by some observations.

Fluid layouts provide an easier solution to designing for multiple screens which has been a difficult and time-consuming task. In this technique, percentages are used as relative measurements of width rather than fixed measurements. This allows your website more malleability and fluidity compared to layouts with fixed widths.

Designers need not worry about type of device or its size or screen width, because the website through its design will adapt and react to the size of the device used to view a website.

The new Fluid Grid feature in Dreamweaver gives designers a visual way to control page layout for multiple screen sizes as well as automatically integrating cross-browser consistency through the use of HTML5 boilerplate and the respond.js library.

These two issues are already well known and documented through out the web. No one hates nothing more than a slow website and a hard to use website. Of course these days a slow website may not be the fault of the website and the business that owns it.
