What is UX? UX stands for user experience. Think about the last website that you visited. Was the goal of the website clear? Was it easy for you to find the information you needed? What about the colors? Did the colors match the theme? UX design is a way of thinking. It is the process of enhancing user satisfaction with a product by improving its usability, accessibility, and desirability. If the user has a good experience with your website, they will return. And they will invite their friends to come.
For nonprofits, having UX skills means developing campaigns that will inspire people to join your cause and give them the tools they can use to make a difference.
In this UX activity, we will learn how to make our passion for animal welfare stand out in our campaigns and recruit more animal lovers to the movement!

9. 5 second test
What?
The Blink test, or 5sec
test is a form of usability
testing that allows you to
measure how well a
website quickly
communicates a
message.
How?
A five second test is run
by showing an image to a
participant for just five
seconds after which the
participant answers
questions based on their
memory and impression
of the page.
Why five seconds?
Studies have found* that
visitors only spend a few
seconds assessing a
website before deciding
whether to stay or leave.

Does anybody know what UX means? UX stands for user experience
Think about the last website that you visited.
1.. Was the goal of the website clear?
2. Was it easy for you to find the information you needed?
3. What about the colors? Did the colors match the theme?
If the user has a good experience with your website, they will return. And they will invite their friends to come.
We build landing pages, ads, banners and posts so our supporters will hear what we have to say. Because at the end of the day it is their support that is going to make a difference.
But how can we make sure that what have created will have an effect that we want? Well, we test it.
Usability test is a way of evaluating the effectiveness of your campaign title, landing page, forms, color pallet and so on.
We are all familiar with doing testing through focus groups and surveys, but with these methods are very costly and if not done right we can loose some valuable insights from supporters. Response bias and social desirability is a reoccurring problem for example. Where users will respond what they thing you want to hear or what the group as a whole wants in order to be liked.
However, online testing tools can be a cost effective way of achieving some goals.
Usability test can help us figure out for example the gap between the moment the user lands on a landing page and if he wanted to find out more about the topic by watching a video or reading the description and so on.
There are several types of tests and several online tool that can support these analysis. But today we are going to focus on two. The 5 sec test and the Comparison test.
One of the most influential studies into usability, “First Click Usability Testing” by Bob Bailey and Cari Wolfson, delved into the importance of the user’s first click being correct. Their findings showed that if the first click was correct, users had an 87% chance of completing the action correctly, as opposed to just 46% if the first click was wrong.
Measure: first clicks and how long they took to click.
These tests are commonly used to measure aesthetic appeal, but participants can also be instructed to judge designs based on their trustworthiness, or how well they communicate a specific message or idea.\
Icons are a pivotal assest for online designers as they are able to represent a message with the need of text. Image that instead of the Print, reply, cut, copy, help icons you have on your computer, they would be all texts. Not very user friendly right? Icons are intuitive images to represent core ideas and pivotal to enhance user experience.
