DESCRIPTION

Reviews by ConversionXL http://conversionxl.com/category/website-reviews/ In this edition of ConversionXL reviews, Tommy assess the visual complexity of an eCommerce site to determine if the site design itself is distracting from the main value proposition. When judging visual complexity we ask: 1. How many elements are there competing for attention? 2. Do these elements distract from the main message? Often times the visual complexity of the site takes away from what the site is trying to do, which is why it's important to find balance in every screen.

When We Talk About Visual Complexity

Also Keeping In Mind:

This is standard positioning for these elements on eCommerce Sites & your visitors are already used to looking here for this functionality

Recommendations:

Choose the 5 most important “Chunks” of information to display prominently above the fold. I’d recommend Starting With: •Customer Policies •Product Hero Shot (pick a best seller)•Value Proposition•Functional Product Navigation•Testimonial Story

Page 19: Is Your Website Visually Distracting?

Recommendations:

Subtract everything visitors trying to satisfy a need might find distracting. (i.e wooden background, News section, extra products)
