Comments on: Eye-tracking studies: first impressions form quickly on the web https://news.mst.edu/2012/02/eye-tracking_studies_show_firs/ Your source for the latest from Rolla Wed, 21 Mar 2018 21:11:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 By: Teri Browett https://news.mst.edu/2012/02/eye-tracking_studies_show_firs/#comment-620 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 08:29:49 +0000 https://news.wpblog.mst.edu/2012/02/eye-tracking_studies_show_firs/#comment-620 I am looking for an up-to-date study but I don’t think this will fit
It is a small number of participants
They are all students
It is done on PCs only
It is not multi-national
Can anyone recommend a recent, more in depth study?

Your research will come in very useful when explaining to clients ‘why’ our design layouts are the way they are. We will use your research to educate the client more on usability.
Thanks for the research.

Now days, you not only need to build attractive websites but they need to be engaging and “share-worthy”.
Besides that most of this seems pretty straight forward, although I wouldn’t of expected users to focus so much on the websites logo. Looks like we will have to rebrand some of our uglier logos 🙂

This can be extremely useful for some website owners that only focus on how pretty a website is, and not about how their viewers react.
I was under the impression that the backwards F type of pattern was the most common way a person reviewed a site.
This has been known by most marketers online, because it is important to place ads, or a call to action in these specific area.
Thanks again for the great research and I hope you will continue to do so!

I used a similar software and got nearly the same results.

We go through much to encourage people to visit our websites but not quite sure what’s going through their minds (via their eyes) other than what we learn from Google Analytics, etc… Going to read this again. Thanks!!
