I'm with you on this one, Louis.
Skip, there have been numerous studies and research data that support this seemingly short attention span for a web site. |
i'll agree with there being short attention spans and i'll agree with the need for having an optimized site and a focused message and strong first impression...these are all true.
what i'll disagree with, though, is a broad brush treatment of all visitors. i just don't think 7 seconds is long enough, given the necessary intersection of technology, design, and the average visitor's web-literacy...
(btw, i went to that 7-second rating site a while back, and only 1 out of maybe 15 sites even loaded completely in 7 seconds...)
then again, i'm slow to begin with. |

I appreciate where you're coming from. Keep in mind that many of these studies are for general sites and not really geared toward a specific industry (like photography). We are a different breed! LOL!

While you’re providing exciting and valuable content, make sure that the quality is top tier. With a podcast, that’s fairly easy. Ideally, you’ll record in a professional studio so you can leave the sound quality to audio experts while you focus on turning in a great performance. If a studio is out of the question, or you’ll be podcasting frequently, get yourself some good recording gear.
