Website usability is fundamental to the success of your online business. Websites that are difficult to use, will not retain user interest and you've potentially lost a customer. Statistics have shown that users will only scan a website for about 10 seconds before deciding to stay or find something more relevant.
So what constitutes a good user experience? A website providing clear navigation, informative content and a clear path to acheiving the objective of the web user's visit.
Fundamental to website usability is understanding the primary objective of your website and creating a number of specific measurable goals. Then by utilising usability standards and guidelines, make it as easy as possible for your intended audience to acheive those goals. PayPerClick suggest that keeping these 5 points in mind will facilitate positive user interaction:
- Objective: How easy to navigate through the site to acheive an objective e.g. sign up to a newsletter or buy a widget?
- Design: If user interaction is convoluted and not intuitive, users will not persevere.
- Efficiency: How quickly can the goal be performed e.g. are there too many form fields to complete?
- Quality: Is the website checked for errors frequently?
- Emotional: If your website is full of errors and it's difficult to buy that widget etc, this provokes a negative user response.
PayPerClick will assess your website in the following areas and provide detailed recommendations detailing how usability can be improved:
- General site characteristics
- Visual layout
- General content
- Browser support
- Navigation
- Search
- Navigation aids
- Site optimisation
- Form usage
PayPerclick will use web analytics to determine which pages of your site are not performing or where the barriers to conversion are occurring.
