“I hired Jireh Web Design to create the web page for my funeral home. I was very pleased and excited on the speed at which my web page was created. It was better than I had hoped, so very professionally created. If for any reason I needed changes they were done in a timely manner. Soon after my page was started, I actually [made a sale]. I am simply grateful and satisfied with Jireh Web Design and would recommend them to any person or business that requires or needs a web site."

In a few seconds - a glance or three - users evaluate websites following an F pattern.

eye-tracking patterns on websites

1st Glance: Users read across the top in a horizontal line.
2nd Glance: Users read across in another horizontal line, looking for headers and highlighted words.
Final Glance: Users take a vertical glance of the left side of a website.

You can make your website more effective by:

Realizing users won't read your content thoroughly.
Putting all your important information in the first paragraph.
Start subheads, paragraphs and bullet heads with information words.
By putting your logo in the top left hand corner of a webpage you guarantee that the majority of people will glance at it twice, more than at any other content on your website.
