Assignment:
A multinational cosmetic company has started its online shopping, where they have variety of products. The features of almost every product are available on the website. Purchasing is done online i.e. the products are ordered by selecting the desired products through different modes of transactions.
There is a chance of failure/loss for the company if the website’s design lacks visitor’s interest.
Statement:
Being a web developer, what will be the key factors/points which have to be introduced in the website in order to keep visitors more focused and concentrated (i.e. features which affect customer’s ability to pay attention)?
Solution:
Firstly, This requires presenting not too much information and not too little on a screen, as in both cases the user will have to spend considerable time scanning through either a cluttered screen or numerous screens of information. Secondly, instead of randomly presenting data the screen it should be grouped and ordered into meaningful parts capitalizing on the perceptual laws of grouping, information can be meaningfully structured so that it is easier to perceive and able to guide attention readily to the appropriate information.
Some other considerations are as under:
- Make information prominent when it needs attending to;
- Use techniques that make things stand out like colour, ordering, spacing, underlining, sequencing and animation
- Avoid cluttering the interface – follow simple design.

- For payment against the purchased item or product, different methods should be given in such manner that lead user to a simple process i.e. The option for CREDIT CARD PAYMENT should be prominent i.e. in bold, and proper table should be given to put the desired number.
- Receipt should be generated for buyer.
- Delivery time should be mentioned in the receipt.
- The system “Online Shopping” should be secured.
