Fuzzy Logic Approach For Visual Analysis Of Websites With K-means Clustering-based Color Extraction
This work addresses the need for better website design aesthetics to improve user engagement and satisfaction, particularly for internet users and designers, but it is incremental as it builds on existing color and font analysis methods.
The paper tackled the problem of measuring website aesthetics to enhance user experience by developing a novel method using fuzzy logic to predict aesthetic preferences based on color harmony and font popularity, with results derived from a dataset of nearly 200 websites and color extraction via k-means clustering.
Websites form the foundation of the Internet, serving as platforms for disseminating information and accessing digital resources. They allow users to engage with a wide range of content and services, enhancing the Internet's utility for all. The aesthetics of a website play a crucial role in its overall effectiveness and can significantly impact user experience, engagement, and satisfaction. This paper examines the importance of website design aesthetics in enhancing user experience, given the increasing number of internet users worldwide. It emphasizes the significant impact of first impressions, often formed within 50 milliseconds, on users' perceptions of a website's appeal and usability. We introduce a novel method for measuring website aesthetics based on color harmony and font popularity, using fuzzy logic to predict aesthetic preferences. We collected our own dataset, consisting of nearly 200 popular and frequently used website designs, to ensure relevance and adaptability to the dynamic nature of web design trends. Dominant colors from website screenshots were extracted using k-means clustering. The findings aim to improve understanding of the relationship between aesthetics and usability in website design.
