Founded in 2006, Twttr (yup, that’s how the brand was originally spelled) was meant to be an SMS-based communication platform.

55% of people leave a website after about the first 15 seconds of their visit on a webpage. And one of the main reasons users click out is they don't know where to look for what they need.

Mobile-first web design is a design style wherein all possible issues a mobile user may encounter will be taken into account. Phones normally have 2x3.5-inch screens, so a smaller screen needs more legible texts.

User engagement is quantifiable through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and is highly correlated with a brand's revenue and profitability. When users find value in a website, product, or service, they are more likely to buy or avail and spread the word to their families and friends.

While UX gives a solution to the question: "Is this website easy to navigate?"
