Google Analytics: Campaign success more accurately assess

August 18

To loosen up my summer break, there's something wiedermal for a quickie between. At the same time so that I can also write about wiedermal Google Analytics, we had indeed not been longer. Had recently the problem evaluate transactions within Google Analytics for the source to want to. This is helpful to the performance of campaigns to judge better. Without further consideration, the pure transactions, or the ROI in the statistical tool that is easy to distort the result, after no returns or subsequent orders will be taken into account.

Transparency and improve sales in online stores!

May 17

An important criterion for successful online stores is to be as transparent as possible for customers. The potential customer should as much helpful information for ordering, after the expiration of the order but also for handling of complaints and returns are available. That should take each be online stores, in my view part to cooperate with further confidence-building measures the customer that the "fear of buying". And the best part is that this much can be accomplished with relatively little effort.

Much content and little space - the means to overloaded websites!

May 6

This time it comes to the old theme: the one hand, a site modern, simple and above all contribute clear, but the other must be placed directly on the homepage of the most diverse reasons, numerous content. Below I will give some options to save space, clear and understandable to transport relatively large content.

Klein is quite large
A similar approach is small elements on mouseover or click to zoom. This is especially useful when maps had to be placed on the home page at. A small card is placed on the website. On this small map you can see roughly where you are already befindet.So something is very popular especially in tourist areas. Finally, even the guests, tourist area do not know exactly know so where is the appropriate place. Once you move the mouse over the map, the map is enlarged and displayed on the content of the website. Now it is possible to show more details and Quick to attractions, live cams, etc. to offer.

Very nice which has the Tourism Organisation of Montenegro solved:

Slideshows and Teaser
Stuff or rotating Teaser images are used very often. Especially in online stores is one such type of product or campaign presentation particularly popular. Durchdas change the animated images may be utilized according to the area several times and transported more information. It should be noted, however, that other people are not exaggerating with the animation and the user is also an alternative way to directly call a teaser. Nothing is more annoying than if one wants to watch a teaser but must wait until five other "run by" are.

Example:
LA Daily News
Graphically you can not solve certain beautiful, but the way we function here is very clear.

L.A. Daily News Teaser

Random effect
Another possibility is always present at random one element from a pool of several. It Can be a product from an online shop, a part of the wellness area of a hotel or a simple banner ads. This possibility has the positive effect that the user has the feeling that something is happening on the site and thus a rather sparse data maintenance can hide something. However, it should be noted that one can be confusing because the user also. It can happen quite possible that a user discovered a great product from an online store and in the evening will examine the product of this with his family again and order. Only Dumb if this product was displayed at random and the user will no longer be available via the familiar position for him. So you can see on what I'm getting at ... if it is working with random representations should also provide a link or a list of all possible areas, so that the recovery is somewhat easier.

Show only content when needed
Often it is not at all necessary to display all the contents immediately. Using Javascript / Ajax, there are now many opportunities to have very good data to reload and display on demand. Even if it contradicts something already learned user behavior is a pretty elegant way to save space. However, inexperienced users are quite overwhelmed by such proprietary uses. It is therefore not necessarily set suitable for all audiences and must be correspondingly more effort into usability testing.

Sun benefits GMX example, those opportunities to even more content on the home page to accommodate. On the home is with tabbed boxes worked "on the offered tab icons can be quickly switched to the desired topic. In addition, in the box "In Focus" the news only when Mouse Over in a larger version displayed.

Conclusion:
Overloaded sites are neither aesthetically nor can they be operated very well because users are often overwhelmed by the flood of information. However, if you have no other choice and put a lot of information in a small space it needs to make sense to help with any of the presented concepts.

Navigation Architecture: Show the user where he is!

April 28

It has in recent years already gotten around that we intended to show users where they are and so can orient a user within a site easy. But as easy as it sounds, so often ignored this requirement and there are some subtleties here that still have not got around everywhere.

Active menu item to select
The standard it has become one of select active menu items. Here is this selection make visually evident. The difference between select andnot selected menu items should be immediately recognizable look at one. In addition, it should be noted that navigation is working levels with emphasis in all. Time and again we see websites in which the main menu item is selected beautiful, but from the second or third level break from the visual chaos.

Breadcrumb Navigation integrate
Navigation. The more complex and deeper the navigation structure of a website is, the more important is a breadcrumb navigation. This can create some problems from the neck and has created a global reference point for the user. darstellen. However Bread Crumb should never be the only navigation option. In my view, are the "breadcrumbs" for quick orientation and in an emergency can also abuse this too much for users to navigate.

Each side their menu
Each side should be assigned to a menu item. Especially on the home page, you often see the subitems are displayed in the menu anywhere. This results in pages that are more or less in the "vacuum" space. Classic examples of this offer, for example, the pages of a banner link to home about, but then no item will be assigned. The user clickt on appropriate banner and then has no clue where he is. Same time, the "Home" page is only one page and should not contain numerous sub.

Back button not forget!
A classic: the site should not use the "Back" buttons work in the browser. Therefore, strictly implement next buttons in the right places. With the right places, I mean that the button aufscheinen only there to where he was needed. Such a link is Back on the home page rather pointless. Only on the detail pages on a "read more" link and not the menu's are accessible from my point of view makes sense.

Integrated Sitemaps
Way the user a nice overview of the site structure to provide further provide an integrated Sitemaps. die man in den letzten Jahren immer öfters sieht. By that I mean this global, integrated in the footer Sitemaps that you often see in recent years always. Zwecken nutzen. Honestly, I have no idea how things publicly says that, but this ichfinde quite handy and along the way, these Sitemaps good to use SEO purposes as well.

Conclusion:
These were a few tips to the user, the Web site to guide you through better and less internetafine users through the site without cause frustration. in bestehende Websites eingebaut werden sollen. Of course, the whole with increasing complexity and depth of navigation more difficult and it is particularly tricky when nachträgich navigation levels on existing sites will be installed. It is better to take into account at the beginning of a project already one level more.
