That, my friend, is psychology at work. Psychological triggers cause you to act or react in a way that is predictable. Your mind responds to them either consciously or subconsciously. Proper use and placement can lead a customer through a web site. Even torepparttar point of purchase.

One ofrepparttar 132585 most powerful psychological triggers is “why”. Kids love to askrepparttar 132586 question why. Why isrepparttar 132587 sky blue? Why do birds fly? Why can’t I have a pony? Anyone who has kids or has been a kid knows these questions well.

We are curious by nature. Asking ‘why’ in a header is similar to flippingrepparttar 132588 curiosity switch. Our brain tells us that we “must know more!” And so we delve deeper into a sites content. Searching forrepparttar 132589 answer our mind seeks.

Budweiser, in their infinite wisdom, came up withrepparttar 132590 slogan of “Why ask why? Drink bud dry.” That simple phrase increased their sales exponentially.

Psychology is amazing when applied.

Website Psychology

Color Psychology and Psychological Triggers are powerful tools. Used together they are unbeatable! They haverepparttar 132591 ability to increaserepparttar 132592 productivity of any site, no matterrepparttar 132593 design or navigation.

Now, Website Psychology would not berepparttar 132594 same withoutrepparttar 132595 third process. It takes psychology a step further. You can reach people through color and triggers. That has been proven repeatedly. You can also control whether people readrepparttar 132596 content ofrepparttar 132597 site or not.

The challenge has always been memorability. People do not always bookmark sites, nor do they return to every site they bookmark. Why? Because oncerepparttar 132598 site is bookmarked it is forgotten. A niche’ must be created inrepparttar 132599 mind inspiring people to return.

Specific words are used causingrepparttar 132600 mind to rememberrepparttar 132601 site. It is because of this process sites are bookmarked, remembered, and passed on. Grammatically challenged web sites can be just as successful as perfectly written sites.

Website Psychology is a new field. It is because of this fact that people have not heard about it, and do not understand its importance. Any website can be successful, but it takes more than a product, an idea, and a web designer to make it happen.
