8. We are all different and some people like to read
all the text on a web page before deciding what
to do next, even though a lot of it might be pretty
redundant but most people – or at
least most regular users of the web – rather than
just
reading through them in detail
scan the web pages they are
using, or at least the ones where they are still
trying to work out where to go next
9.
10. • Users won't read your text
thoroughly word-by-word.
Exhaustive reading is rare, especially
when browsing.
Yes, some people will read more, but most
won't.
11. • The first two paragraphs must state
the most important information .
There's some hope that users will actually
read this material – though they'll probably
read more of the first paragraph than the
second.
12. • Start subheadings, paragraphs, and
bullet points with information-
carrying words that users will notice
when scanning down the left side of your
content in the final stem of their F-
behaviour.
They'll read the third word on a line much
less often than the first two words.
13. If they have to work at it for example if they cannot see what
they are looking for, or if it doesn’t make sense to them at first glance then
most people – or at least many people who do a lot of searching or
browsing on the web just decide that this particular site is not for them,
and anyway they have a long list of other search results or ideas to try and
so they go elsewhere

38. Website users
• Who uses your website?
• Why would they want to use it?
• How would they find it?
• What do they get out of it?
• What do they dislike about it?
39. How do you get it right for
everyone?
• Answer:
• You can’t get it right for everyone.
• You have to make choices, and stick to
them:
• Who is it for?
• What..
• How…
43. Who for what for ...
• Who for? (audience)
Need to be clear from start
• mum + 2 children looking for something to do this
weekend
• teachers of yr5/6 in local area with whiteboards
• men interested in gadgets
44. Who for what for ...
• What ‘real-world’ outcomes?
What will they do as a result of using the site?
• make a donation

– For each example note first impressions

49. How can we get a sense of who our online
visitors are and what they do with our online
content?
How do we gather data to help us improve
what we do?
How do we measure success from the
user's point of view, and / or against our own
objectives and constraints?
For example, how justify investment (or lack
of it) in social networks etc?
50. Reasons for doing audience research:
Evaluation
• Did your project/product/service do what
you wanted it to do?
• Provide information for stakeholders
• Gauge audience satisfaction
51. Reasons for doing audience research:
Promotion
• Improve your offer for your target
audiences
• Increase usage
• Widen access
52. Reasons for doing audience research:
Planning
• Inform development of a new
product/service
• Inform business planning
• Prove interest in a related activity
53. Data gathering tools
• Qualitative: focus groups, “free text”
questions in surveys, interviews
• Quantitative: web statistics, “multiple
choice” questions in surveys, visitor
tracking
• Observational: user testing, ethnographic

61. Data gathering techniques
User testing
- early in development and again near end
Online questionnaires
– emailed to people or linked from website
Focus groups
- best near beginning of project, or at
redevelopment stage
Visitor surveys
- link online and real visits
Web stats
- useful for long term trends /events etc
62. Need to distinguish between:
Diagnostics
– making a project or service better
Reporting
– to funders, or for advocacy
63. Online questionnaires
(+) once set up they gather numerical and
qualitative data with no further effort –
given time can build up large datasets
(+) the datasets can be easily exported and
manipulated, can be sampled at various times,
and structured queries can yield useful results
(–) respondents are self-selected and this will skew
results – best to compare with similar data from
other sources, like visitor surveys
(–) the number and nature of responses may
depend on how the online questionnaire is
displayed and promoted on the website
64. Focus groups
(+) can explore specific issues in more
depth, yielding rich feedback
(+) possible to control participant
composition to ensure representative
(–) comparatively time-consuming
(expensive) to organise and analyse
(–) yield qualitative data only - small
numbers mean numerical comparisons
are unreliable
65. Visitor surveys
(+) possible to control participant
composition to ensure representative
(–) comparatively time-consuming
(expensive) to organise and analyse
(–) responses can be affected by various
factors including interviewer, weather on
the day, day of the week, etc, reducing
validity of numerical comparisons between
museums
66. Web stats
(+) Easy to gather data – can decide what to
do with it later
(+) Person-independent data generated - it
is the interpretation, rather than the data
themselves, which is subjective. This
means others can review the same data
and verify or amend initial conclusions
reached
67. Web stats
(–) Different systems generate different data
for the same web activity – for example no
of unique visits measured via Google
Analytics is generally lower than that
derived via server log files
(–) Metrics are complicated and require
specialist knowledge to appreciate them
fully
68. Web stats
(–) As the amount of off-website web activity
increases (e.g. Web 2.0 style interactions)
the validity of website stats decreases,
especially for reporting purposes, but also
for diagnostics
(–) Agreeing a common format for
presentation of data and analysis requires
collaborative working to be meaningful
71. Learn GA: short intro videos etc
https://www.google.com/analytics/iq.html
72. The best way to learn GA
is to use it:
www.google.com/analytics/
73. Web stats: Focus on trends
rather than absolute values
74. The ‘long tail’
An example of a power law graph showing popularity
ranking. To the right is the long tail; to the left are the
few that dominate. Notice that the areas of both
regions match. [Wikipedia: Long Tail]
75. The ‘long tail’
The tail becomes bigger and longer in new markets (depicted in
red). In other words, whereas traditional retailers have focused
on the area to the left of the chart, online bookstores derive
more sales from the area to the right.[Wikipedia: Long Tail]
