Website Design Testing

Website Design

In the virtual world, the challenge of being noticed and establishing productive engagement with web users is characterized by unique challenges. Maximizing searchability is the first step towards meaningful interaction, but what happens after users click onto your website? They might be there to review your content/product offerings or to perform at particular task, or some combination of both endeavors. However, before even considering why they are there, one must ask how they initially react to what they see. If they are not immediately engaged by what they see, the reality of alternative options is literally just a click away.

Given the power of 'first glance' assessments in the virtual world, maximizing the 'stopping power' of an introductory webpage is an essential step in the path towards meaningful engagement. When a visitor to your website responds to your introductory page at a pre-conscious emotional level, he is more likely to take a few moments to interact with the site content. These initial few moments of contemplation coupled with user-centered website design are necessary components in capturing attention and cultivating consumer loyalty. V.E.R.T delivers the tools to insure that your website engages attention at first glance, as well as benefits from a user-focused design that anticipates all your visitors' needs.

Webpage Visual Design Testing

Whether you business is solely virtual or exists in both virtual and brick and mortar realms, your website is a vital marketing platform. More specifically, your website's opening page should capture attention and communicate brand identity towards the goal of motivating visitor interaction with your content. Our V.E.R.T. webpage design testing system evaluates the visual components of your web page relative to the highest standards of effective visual advertising:

» Stopping Power: A proprietary alogorithm, iMotions™ Emotion Tool®, is utilized to gauge the intensity of consumers' immediate emotional engagement with a visual stimulus based on eight distinct eye movements related to pupil dilation, blink, and saccades.

» Visual Attention Map: Utilizing advanced eye-tracking technology, consumers' visual engagement (associated with images, product attributes, logo, etc.) is evaluated relative to the desired communication hierarchy. Utilizing Spotlight™ and Highlight™ tools, visual engagement is evaluated both in terms of the strongest Attention Points, as well as with respect to specific areas of interest that may not qualify as primary Attention Points, but could play an important role in messaging.

» Messaging Strength: Are intended marketing messages communicated effectively?
