Where do users look on a website?

The left side of the page gets more attention than the right. With some exceptions, people read from left to right. This is also why the left side of your web page gets more attention. Web users spend 80% of their time viewing the left half of the page and 20% viewing the right half.

When a user visits a website what do they encounter first?

Simple Navigation. One of the first things customers see on your website and the first place they look to click is your main navigation. It is important to keep your navigation both simple and straightforward. This means aiming for 4-5 main navigation points with short and succinct titles.

How do people scan web pages?

The F-shaped scanning pattern is the most common. Readers first scan from left to right at the top of a section or page. They then move down the page a bit and again scan from left to right. Finally, they scan the left side of the section or page from top to bottom.
