What we covered

With Google Analytics, we know the who, what, when, where, and how of actions on your website. But do we know WHY those actions are happening? We can, thanks to the psychology of how we see. We covered why certain layouts are scientifically proven to be more effective than others (and why you should never trust your gut).We also looked at how these designs play out in action against Cancer Research Institute’s donation goals and shared 5 ideas for design elements you can test on your site today.
