When it comes to designing effective web and mobile interfaces, you know that making data-driven decisions is key. In the iterative process of design improvement, EyeQuant's analytical tools can be your trusted companions.
Here's how you can leverage EyeQuant to make and validate design changes effectively...
Competitive analysis
Start your journey by examining how similar pages in your industry perform. EyeQuant's Competitive Analysis feature allows you to compare your design against competitors. This step is essential in understanding the benchmarks and setting design goals.
By identifying what works in your industry, you gain insights into user expectations and preferences.
Creating hypotheses
Now, it's time to create hypotheses about how small changes can affect user attention and engagement.
Let's say you've noticed that your call-to-action (CTA) button is not receiving as much attention as you'd like. Here's where EyeQuant's data-driven insights come into play.
You can hypothesise that increasing the contrast on the CTA button will increase visitor attention and positively impact the click-through rate (CTR).
Analyse and iterate
Upload your design to EyeQuant, and the tool will provide you with instant, objective analyses. The Perception Map reveals what users see in the first three seconds, ensuring that crucial information is presented prominently.
With the Attention Map, you can identify how user attention is distributed across different areas of your design. Are they focusing on the right elements?
Validate your hypotheses
Once you’ve uploaded your designs, it’s time to see if your hypothesis about the CTA button holds true.
Use EyeQuant's design comparison tool to assess the visibility differences between the original and the variant with increased contrast. You'll quickly discover if the small change has made a big impact on attention.
Refine and optimise
Based on the results, refine your design. If the variant with increased contrast on the CTA button attracts more attention, it's a clear indication that you're on the right track. Continue iterating and testing until you achieve the desired results.
Compare multiple results
EyeQuant allows you to compare up to 6 design results simultaneously.
This feature is incredibly useful for assessing the impact of various changes across multiple design elements - you can efficiently identify which changes are most effective in capturing user attention.
Pay attention to key factors
When making design changes to affect attention, consider various key factors, such as:
layout
contrast
size
colour
location of elements
saliency
the amount/size of text.
These factors can significantly impact how users perceive and interact with your design.
Look deeper into the experience
Don't limit your analysis to the surface. Explore different areas of the user experience, including below-the-fold content, navigation menus, shopping carts, and more.
Concentrate on the areas that need the most improvement based on EyeQuant's insights to ensure a holistic and user-centric design.
When it comes to implementing an iterative process of making and validating design changes, EyeQuant is invaluable. By leveraging its analytical tools, creating hypotheses, and continuously refining your designs based on data-driven insights, you can optimise your web and mobile interfaces to provide the best possible user experience.
