A surplus of good options drives the price—or in this case, the level tolerance for bad websites—down. So yes, websites are judged swiftly and ruthlessly. Have a website that users need to pinch and zoom on their mobile devices to view? That user is as good as gone—and they should be able to figure that out in 0.
Nowadays, all website should feature responsive web design. If you have a responsive website, aspect ratio becomes less important, because the priority is filling the screen on every device in a way that is legible, compelling and easy to navigate. Remember the Restoration Hardware homepage that I was praising in statistic 1? As it turns out, the cover looks a lot better than the book. Design-wise, the site looks pretty good throughout, although this is helped in part by the great images of beautiful, luxurious products.
But when it comes to the layout, the site can be a bit vexing. When I hover over any category on the navbar, it gives me a dropdown menu. Nothing wrong with that—except for the fact that each dropdown menu has its own series of dropdown menus, creating a sea of nested content that can be extremely frustrating to find.
I have a headache just thinking about it! Not all websites that look good initially are good at getting the job done and converting users into leads and customers. There are thousands—and the only real way to find them on your website is to understand how users interact with it. Remember, even books with great covers can get put down halfway through. Make sure your website is well designed and well structured from start to finish. But what if you recently completed a redesign and find that many users are bouncing, and your conversion rates are lower than expected?
Similarly, images have the ability to significantly slow down the load time of the pages that house them, leading to even more user abandonment. In fact, not only does slow load time effect user behavior by causing users to leave your site, it also affects SEO. As such, it needs to exude credibility in every sense of the word.
When it comes to portraying credibility on a company website, step one is to have a modern, updated design that shows your company cares about its digital presence. This includes implementing all of the aspect ratio, image, font and layout information we discussed above. Good design relies on a seamless integration of quality, informative, and credibility-boosting content into the overall fabric of the site. This way high quality aesthetics are bolstered with evidence of success, brand-defining statements, and images that keep users interested and engaged.
As we learned from our first statistic, it takes much less than a second for a user to form their opinion on the quality of a website. Users take an average of 2.
The key to creating a positive first impression is a combination of extreme clarity and quality design. This area will most often be a line of text or media that introduces your company to the user. If you want users to gravitate toward something specific on your website, try pushing that image or multimedia toward the top left of the page, and maintaining that same structure throughout the site.
Eye-tracking studies analyzing user behavior have found that users mimic the way that they would read a book when they scan websites:. They start at the upper part of the content area, reading horizontally from left to right, then move down and read a smaller quantity of content from left to right. Try to order the pages of your website in this way, so that users see the content that will influence their credibility and potential purchasing decisions front and center. Images are great.
Choose images that are relevant to your product or service offering and will not distract from the overall objective of the website. Periodic drops in the total count can depend on various factors, including an improvement in NetCraft's handling of wildcard hostnames.
