There are a lot of very obvious positives to working online – from never having to commute or navigate the choppy waters of office politics again, to always flexible coffee and lunch breaks and less worry about childcare on days the kids get sick. No wonder so many of us dream of jettisoning our current jobs for an online alternative with its flexible workdays and lack of supervisors.

Any small design improvement in your checkout UX usually has a direct impact on how much money your site makes. An ecommerce site that I analyzed recently had a payment page in which 84.7% of the traffic proceeded to buy.
