November 10, 2014 at 8:57 amDefinitely the best infographic.
Interesting on the dark vs light. I would say I personally like lighter websites with high quality images as “anchors”.
That’s why things like this are helpful to get real data opposed to your own opinion!

November 10, 2014 at 10:13 amI’m also curious about the dark vs. light results. I also like lighter websites as they are easier on the eye and more familiar. When I browse dark sites it takes me longer to navigate and make sense of the content because the fundamental black text on white background has been reversed, but at the same time I am intrigued by dark sites because they are rare and have a mysterious flavor to them. It would be interesting to design a site in both a dark and light theme using the same content and split testing the results, especially how it affects profits.

November 10, 2014 at 8:59 amDid you give up on daily videos because they weren’t delivering results?
James Schramko says
November 10, 2014 at 9:18 amNo, I am testing for OTR version 2 for people who are shy to make videos

November 10, 2014 at 9:20 amFair call. Plus I guess then you can sell infographics as a productised service :)
James Schramko says
November 10, 2014 at 9:28 amOh we already do that ;) we get lots of requests. The videos will be back on soon as well as podcasts. I’ve been doing other activities instead of making the videos. I do still
