In this episode of Websites Decoded, Phil explores information scent, a critical UX concept that determines whether buyers can find what they need on your website. He explains why clear navigation beats clever branding, how to avoid common mistakes like using internal jargon in key areas, and why buyers abandon websites even when the right information exists. 

You'll learn practical ways to improve information scent across navigation, page titles and form fields, plus how AI is changing what buyers expect from B2B websites. Phil also shares how to use AI tools to test whether your terminology makes sense to your ideal customers.
