Details
If your site has more than one page, it has a gallery page. When a user lands on your gallery page, it has only one job: to help the user decide which content page they want to end up on. The best gallery pages do that quickly and efficiently. The worst, well, it gets ugly.
We spend great effort making sure our content pages have exactly what our users need. But if they don't reach those pages because of confusing or complicated galleries, it's all for naught.
In this presentation, Jared Spool will share some of UIE's most important findings about gallery page design. You'll learn:
- How to utilize the Scent of Information to ensure the user's trigger words are present
- The role galleries play in helping users make confident choices
- Strategies for ordering links for easy findability. (Hint: Alphabetical order isn't one of them!)
- When images help and when they get in the way
- How to take advantage of when users are scanning and when they are reading
Jared will show you some of the latest design thinking from Netflix , Bureau of Labor Statistics, SonyEricsson, and Citibank, to name a few.
