Bold Metrics Simplifies Fit for Apparel Brands and Shoppers with Redesigned Smart Size Chart

Creating an excellent experience for our clients and their customers has always been a priority at Bold Metrics. After months of user testing, our product team’s redesigned Smart Size Chart (SSC) interface puts shoppers firmly at the center of the experience.

Drawing on US-based and international shopper feedback, tests were conducted across all age groups and eCommerce experience levels to ensure that even inexperienced online shoppers could find their best fit intuitively. Word, image, and formatting choices were all tested in-depth to determine the best possible customer experience, combining ease of use with accuracy and speed. Testing was carried out on existing client sites and via a generic user flow to actualize accurate results and determine preferred user experiences.

“User testing has been crucial to helping us understand how shoppers interact with our tools, taking assumptions out of the equation—every decision was tested and validated so all aspects of the tool work as intended.” Morgan Marzo, Product Designer, Bold Metrics
