Cool Thing #1: First Impression Testing
First Impression Testing: The Tasks Imagine that you come to this site and don’t immediately see what you want on the homepage. Where do you go to search? You just received an from the organization, asking you to make a donation, and you’d like to do that on the website. Where would you click? You’d like to learn more about breastfeeding. Where do you click? You just heard that the organization has created a petition to expand access to midwifery care. Where would you go to view the petition? Where would you click to follow this organization on Facebook or Twitter? You want to find out about “Our Bodies, Ourselves” in other languages. Where would you click for that information?
