Web Site Design & First Impressions

         For their research, Sheng and Dahal enlisted 20 Missouri S&T students to view screenshots, or static images, of the main websites from 25 law schools in the U.S. Sheng and Dahal found that their subjects spent about 2.6 seconds scanning a website before focusing on a particular section. They spent an average of 180 milliseconds focusing, or "fixating," on one particular section before moving on."The longer the participants stayed on the page, the more favorable their impressions were," Sheng says. "First impressions are important for keeping people on pages." In the prior questions we were asked what makes us stay and what makes us leave a page. It relates to this article because just like the people that were doing the experiment we think alike. The researchers monitored students' eye movements as they scanned the web pages. The researchers then analyzed the eye-tracking data to determine how long it took for the students to focus on specific sections of a page such as the menu, logo, images and social media icons before they moved on to another section. It wouldn't impact my website because i took all of this into consideration when picking my colors. I wanted to appeal to girls on my page so i made majority of my colors pink, yellow and neon green. Those colors make me think/feel happy other people may feel the same. The only element that i would change would be the font color and the where i position them.

• maternity and childbirth: For maternity and childbirth I would use the color pink because it attracts the attention of female user. As a mother looking at that website i would be happy and jolly to read what they have to say about how to raise and grow my child.
• downhill skiing: I would use the color red to describe downhill skiing because it dangerous and it gives you a thrill. It prompts action, increases breathing and pulse. When doing any dangerous sport like that you want to pumped up and ready you don't want to be sad or calm you need to be energized. 
• meditation & relaxation: The color for relaxation and mediation would be white because it represents pure, cool, calm and modern. When i see the color white I think of a wedding which is pure and happy.  
• saving the environment: The color I would use for saving the planet would be green because it represent nature and the color of life, renewal, nature, and energy.
