Our goal with Search always has been to help people quickly and easily find the information that they’re looking for. Over the years, the amount and format of information available on the web has changed drastically—from the proliferation of images and video, to the availability of 3D objects you can now view in AR.
The search results page, too, has changed to help you discover these new types of information and quickly determine what’s most useful for you. As we continue our ongoing efforts to improve Search and provide a modern and helpful experience, today we’re unveiling a visual refresh of the mobile search results page to better guide you through the information available on the web.

You probably don’t notice intuitive web design, but you do notice bad design. People such as Charles Novabos, who works with Pramerica, are essential to ensuring a seamless online experience.
While bad website design sticks out like a sore thumb, good website design should be imperceptible. You mightn’t even notice when a page is well integrated across your devices or is designed intuitively – you’ll be too busy breezing through the site with ease.
Ensuring websites are seamless to navigate, however, is a far from easy task. That’s why companies such as Pramerica need user experience (UX) researchers such as Charles Novabos. We caught up with Novabos to see what his working day entails.

Is your landing page reaching out to the visitors exactly the way you want it to?
Every website no matter how big or popular will have a considerable bounce rate — A unit that measures the number of users who visit your website but leave without performing any further action.

There are many different ways to focus on the user experience for your website. However, sometimes those ideas are so overused and generic that they may not actually have you typical user in mind. When determining if your website’s UX actually has the user in mind, you should look at what process your target audience will likely to go through when landing on your page.

Your site can always have a better user experience. It’s obvious that the users of your website are the most important audience online, but when do you know if you should improve, and what are some quick improvements that you can make?
Your site can always offer a better user experience. It’s better to focus on sitewide improvements like site speed, maintaining a responsive site, and keeping design clean first. Once you are ready to look at individual pages, exploring the places users leave your site is a fantastic start.
Ideally you should care about your user experience all the time. However, there are certain times that it is especially necessary to pay attention to your user’s onsite behavior and experience. When you start to see user attrition in certain areas of your site, a high bounce rate, or overall traffic loss, it’s time to get to work and start breaking down reasons that people are fleeing from your site.

In my previous blog post 6 Design Alternatives to Avoid (Evil) Slideshows, I outlined six design alternatives to avoid slideshows. The response to that blog post was great — who knew there were so many kindred spirits who disliked slideshows?
From the feedback I received, the number one question was why are slideshows so bad in the first place?

Many designers have strong opinions about the use of sliders and slider controls in website design. Some love them; others hate them. A poorly-timed carousel or automated gallery slider can distract users from more critical site aspects. On the other hand, a manual slider allows mobile and website users to navigate through a range of content features or options quickly. Explore sliders and slider controls and find out when they are most useful in web design.
