Inspired by University of Bath’s post about how they deleted the internet, last week we installed some heatmap software to plot where on a page users click. We’ve had it running on a few pages and already some interesting patterns are showing.
We’ll be using these heatmaps to help up determine what’s working on the site and analyse behaviour patterns when migrating the intranet across to GO and in developing new designs for the homepage.
A stick of BarCamp Blackpool rock to the first person to identify which page the above heatmap comes from [excludes members of Web Services].
External site homepage?
[said in a Catchphrase styleeee] “It’s good… but it’s not right!”
It’s your vindaloo recipe page, and the hot spots are the chillies
The Departments page?
We have a winner!
I should perhaps clarify, Dave’s the winner, not “Madhur Jaffee”
Aww, that’s what I meant – Departments page! :0(
I was intrigued to read the internet had been deleted – for those who are familiar with the show The IT Crowd – did you know you can break the internet by typing Google into Google?
Same happens if you type YouTube into YouTube, or try to Wikipedia Wikipedia
