Hi
I’m trying to talk one of the guys out of writing an ‘Enter Site’ screen…..I’m sure that I’ve seen/heard a statistic that this causes people to leave, rather than enter!!
Personally, I think that a screen with a few images and an Enter button has to be one of the most futile screens on the web and they tend to make me ‘not enter site’!! They annoy me in the same way as Flash Intro’s!! I think if I’ve typed in the address of a site…I want to be there and don’t need an additional mouse click!!
Surely, the only time an enter site screen is really needed is where there is some sort of disclaimer (adult/offensive content or whatever).
I was hoping that someone may be able to direct me to a link (or links!) that may have some hard statistics to back up my theory!
Hope I’ve not offended anyone by asking this!
Thanks a lot!
