How Confidence Affects Website Visitors

For World Usability Day 2009, NEOUPA (Northeast Ohio Usability Professionals’ Association), I gave this ’10 Minute Talk’ on how the confidence a visitor has affects their outcome with a website.

My theory is that confidence and content relevancy make a site more successful. In this presentation I make the case that visitors can very quickly lose confidence in a site causing them to become frustrated and leave.
