Certains professionnelles sont aujourd’hui expert sur cette nouvelle expérience.

Puis, le site internet est devenu une vitrine auquel chaque détails à son importance. Deux grand facteurs poussent de nos jours le consommateur à revenir et conseillé ce site internet. La relation cognitive et affectueuse sont primordiaux, tel un client dont on se souviendrait le nom. Les interfaces en ligne ne laissent rien au hasards pour obtenir une identité et une relation solide avec son client.
