E-Commerce UX Award
Baymard awards the top 1% within each industry, as well as the top 1% for theme and platform (e.g. top 1% checkout UX performance, top 1% mobile e-commerce UX performance, etc.).

Baymard uses its comprehensive UX benchmark to identify winners within each category. They have conducted 54 rounds of manual benchmarking of 234 top-grossing US and European e-commerce sites across 683 UX guidelines, leading to a UX performance database of more than 215,000+ weighted UX performance scores. Each website has been manually benchmarked using over 680+ UX guidelines, encompassing a thorough heuristic evaluation of each site's UX performance.

The total UX performance score assigned to each benchmarked site is an expression of how good (or bad) an e-commerce user experience a first-time user will have at the site based on the 680+ guidelines. The specific UX performance score is calculated using a proprietary weighted multi-parameter algorithm with self-healing normalization.

In some instances there are multiple winners within certain categories. Read more about Baymard's research and methodology².
