THE PROBLEM
Designers are the last team to be evidence-backed
Analytics and User Testing fuel ideation and strategy. Code reviews, Copilots and QA Testing support dev. But designers need to rely on gut-feeling, experience and brand guidelines - not data.
Traditional heatmaps require the experience to go live, which is too late. And eye-tracking studies are costly and time-consuming to do. So new pages launch blind, and there's often a post-launch scramble to iterate.
So strategy is backed by data, but design isn't. Until now.
WHY IT'S SO DIFFICULT
01 - Heatmaps need traffic first
Heatmaps and Analytics both need thousands of sessions for meaningful conclusions to be drawn.
02 - And user testing is hard to scale
Eye-tracking hardware is expensive, and studies take considerable time - too much for every piece of creative made.
03 - So new pages and features launch blind
Guidance comes post-launch, but by then all the key decisions have been made and you can only tweak moving forward.

Contrast and being different is important. And if your primary CTA is the same colour and thickness as text, it can be ignored.
Conventional wisdom says ghost buttons are less prominent than solid buttons, but it's much more nuanced than that with exact positioning, colours etc. all factoring into how much something stands out.

Clashing colour schemes
Clashing colour schemes
We know that branded-primary colours should be reserved for key elements, but the same principle of being different applies to anything that should attract attention. Having embedded badges be the same styling as CTAs, despite being slimmer, leads to undue fixation.

People like people
People like people
People attract fixation more often than not. In around 80% of screens uploaded with people present, the people overwhelmingly take attention over other onpage elements.
Most often, although not always, it's the face that we're paying attention to and in particular we fixate on mouths.

F-Shaped reading patterns
F-Shaped reading patterns
F or Z-shaped reading patterns aren't set in stone, but we're seeing that that they are much more prominent in text-heavy pages.
Along the same lines - we assume people often read from left-to-right (especially for English/Latin pages) but the data shows that fixation does not support left-to-right. It happens based more on prominence than position.

It takes seconds to generate a predictive heatmap. So designers can fire in a mockup, get some feedback and iterate quickly, landing on a solid data-informed design within an hour - far better than a week or more to get data from real heatmaps.

What is this trained on?
This is trained on eye-tracking studies, and over 5 million fixation points. The model has set a benchmark of just over 90% accuracy, making it firmly in the state-of-the-art class.

What can I use this on?
It's built for Website screenshots, both live and mockups. Desktop and Mobile. It does however work very well on ad creative, and even things like street-level photography - areas we're continuing to explore.

How can I get this enabled?
It's coming to our UI soon. Until then, reach out to the support team and we will enable it in a shared Slack environment. We are also investigating integration into Microsoft Teams for a wider potential net of users.
