Brazilian E-commerce Product Pages - A Study by Mercedes Sanchez Usabilidade (Brazil)

E-commerce in Brazil is developing quickly as the public increasingly seeks to purchase products and services through the Internet.

In 2008 online sales grew 30% and reached $4.2 billion. Specialists at Mercedes Sanchez Usabilidade feel the growth could be even higher if Brazilian e-commerce websites adhered to usability rules on their product pages.

Three specialists at Mercedes Sanchez Usabilidade visited 15 major Brazilian e-commerce websites and analyzed pages of similar and typical website specifi­c products. All 15 websites violated basic usability principles and as a result are losing sales. Specialists from Mercedes Sanchez Usabilidade have compiled results and recommendations based on this study.
