Fix up your UX

You know that feeling when you click onto a website and it makes you wince? The colours clash (and not in a good way), the text is all over the place and as for the functionality… 😠

It’s pretty much guaranteed to put users off and leave them feeling frustrated, fed up, and unlikely to return. Offer users an engaging, elegant, and effortless experience, on the other hand, and not only are they more likely to come back, but they’ll probably tell all their friends how great it is too!

When you’re running an awards programme, the user experience (UX) is key to your success - a positive encounter will encourage participation, improve entry rates, and give your reputation an all-round glow up.

So how can you make sure your awards programme offers a super slick, seamless experience that makes all your users smile? Well, for a start, you can use the right awards management platform - that’ll be AwardStage! - to provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface. A well-designed platform will simplify the awards process for entrants, judges and awards managers alike, saving time, money, and stress for everyone involved.

A sleek and simple UX will do wonders for your engagement levels. If entrants are presented with a clean, visually appealing platform, they will be much more likely to register, enter, and - crucially - complete their submission. Likewise judges - usually busy people - will massively appreciate a straightforward, clear-cut interface that makes their job a joy.

An effective UX will also enhance accessibility: a straightforward interface means all users - regardless of their tech expertise - can focus on the content of their entries or the value of their judgements, rather than getting frustrated trying to figure out how the software works.

AwardStage provides a sleek, straightforward and elegant interface that enhances the awards experience for all users. Entrants love the simplicity of the platform, while judges love the easy navigation - just check out some of our fab feedback:
