STORY REFERENCES: Voices.com Earns Top Score for Best in Class Service from The Interactive Media Awards, Best in Class Interactive Media Award IMA, voice over marketplace

For a Web-based service that helps to make the world sound good, it was imperative that individual page loading time increased ten-fold to allow for customers to upload, listen to and download audio files with ease.

Voices.com‘s page load time has been reported as fast as 963 ms, which is ten times faster than the 15.30 seconds previously reported by Pingdom, a website monitoring and measurement service.

A significant amount of time was spent on the user interface design to simplify the layout, making it easier to read critical information on each page. Voices.com worked with user interface designers, user experience designers, performed split tests with Google Website Optimizer, tracked clicks and mouse movements with CrazyEgg and conducted first hand research with UserTesting.com, implementing changes based upon feedback received via several thousand responses to design and usability surveys. Once the designs were built, voice talent members participated in a Beta Testing program and contributed their findings for review. All of the feedback from the beta testers was positive. This was a 12 month process and the company feels confident with the resulting website.
