What’s the 8 second web test?

What’s the 8 second web test?

  1. ·         8 seconds to impart value to your visitor.
  2. ·         8 seconds to see credibility and stay longer
  3. ·         8 seconds to choose your service

Not a long time. But given the exponential growth of the internet and explosion of information, web users quickly decide if a site has value.

 So what do you do when you go to a site? Start by using your own searches as a gauge.

 My guidelines include:

  1.  Overall look – does the site look credible?
  2. Navigation – are the links to information obvious?
  3.  Design – does it look simple to use or cluttered?

Seems like a lot to surmise in about 8 seconds but observe how you research a topic and I think you’ll be surprised what you learn.

I invite you to post your comments on what you look for in a site.

If there is something you like or don’t like about my site, don’t hesitate to post. Your feedback is invaluable to me to better provide value to you. Thank you!
