Hi everyone,

 

I'm not sure if this is the forum where I should post this in lol.

 

Anyway, I'm working on a research, and I need participants to participate on this survey: http://www.mywebtaste.com/

In the link you'll go through 24 pages with different websites screen shots. I would like to ask you to click on those websites that you find most appealing at first sight. This test is a part of an experiment about culture and its related to the web taste. It would take you only 3 or 4 minutes. Thanks

 

So if you could participate and share it to your friends, I'd appreciate it for you guys.

 

Also, I want to ask you guys. Do you know a good way to have Chinese/Spanish participants?

 

Thanks!

Researcher, you might get a better response to this if you told us what the research involves and how long the survey will take. Many people are cautious about clicking on a link about which they have really been told nothign at all about. just a suggestion.

To be honest - I closed it down when I had 3 different webpages for same company in different languages none of which were mine. What was I supposed to be judging on - pretty colours?

judging on the design not the content

But I had no conception of the utility of the site/webpage - it was merely a small thumbnail of a site with words in languages I didn't understand. That is not design - it's just a combination of nice shapes and pleasing colours; judging the design of a website requires more than a non-functional appraisal. Apart from the shallowest users and the most worthless sites, most websites will be judged on their ability to provide the function required in the easiest and most ergonomically and aesthetically appealing manner - if you have no clue about the function then you can have no real comment on the design. As yet commercial websites are still a pragmatically functional ether-device - ie they have not been elevated to a purely pleasurable sensory domain; and as such the ability to perform he desired action is important, if not to say, paramount.

I'm shutting this thread down. This looks like an attempt to drive traffic to websites. That's inconsistent with our purpose here.
