How Do People View Your Website ?
It takes 50 milliseconds (that's 1/1 seconds) for users to form a first opinion on whether to stay or leave a website.
Google confirmed this statistic in a recent study that found websites that followed general conventions and had low visual complexity were perceived as highly appealing and created a positive first impression with users.
2.6 Seconds - this is the time it takes for users eyes to find a section of a website that influences their first impression.
First Impressions

Going Responsive
It is now more important than ever to ensure your website is fully responsive. In April 2015, Google’s ‘mobile friendly update’ search algorithm revealed that mobile friendly websites would be given a boost in Google search results over desktop only websites, after a survey revealed that mobile searches had for the first time overtaken desktop. A fully responsive website will function on all devices providing a more user friendly platform for its users.
