Personalise Your User Experience on RIBsONLY.com

User Experience (UX) Has Always Been Key

And I’m not referring only to websites. It’s all around us in everything that invades our lives and triggers us.

While I’m not an expert in User Experience Design, incorporating this feature could enhance your overall positive experience here.

Consider organising the information by utilising categories beneath the texts, where clicking on a specific category provides a wealth of additional information on the corresponding subject.

So, no longer surf away from a blog post or a page (we have some) because it’s in English or copy paste texts in Google Translate because that can be quite a hassle.

Just click on the new pictogram and in an instance the post or page you’re on is translated into your own language.

It has become that simple now.

However, not every translation is accurate; some contain errors, yet offer a better chance to interpret the content.

Below is a well-known drawing that illustrates the phenomenon of “lost in translation.”

The Power of Images

I have strategically chosen to build a substantial video and media library focused on Rigid Inflatable Boats here on RIBsONLY.com.

The blog currently boasts a collection of 1,968 RIB videos and 3,208 media items distributed across 2,163 posts and 41 articles.

It was always that choice from the beginning.

Based on the results of 22 studies, Matthew Dunn estimates image processing times to be between 13 ms and 150 ms, the time to process a sentence containing 25 words to be between 3.75 seconds and 7.5 seconds and to process a sentence with 8 words between 1.2 seconds and 2.4 seconds.

Utilizing those numbers, Dunn draws the conclusion that images are processed between 8 and 577 times faster than words and rounds it to between 6 and 600 times (source).

To show you the power of images enjoy these RIB jumping shots!

Time to dream your destination

Time to Put Your Mind to it

You decided to go boating and thoughts of cruising on open waters, discovering hidden spots, and enjoying water sports begin to take center stage.

If you’re itching to spend your upcoming summer soaking in the sun and sea, now’s the time to think about getting yourself a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).

I’ve crafted several articles to assist you in navigating the process of purchasing a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) so that you can make an informed decision and select the optimal one that aligns with your requirements:

Time is of the Essence

Anyone who loves boating knows that once the sun starts shining and temperatures rise, everyone and their grandma wants to be on the water.

Deciding on a RIB early means you beat the “summer rush”.

Not only do you get the boat you want, but you might also snag some sweet pre-season deals from manufacturers and dealers itching to get their boats on the water.

Waiting until the last minute to decide on a boat can be a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

The cool models might be gone, and you could end up settling for something less than ideal for you.

Decide on a RIB now, and you’ll have your pick of the litter, ensuring your boat is perfect for your style and plans.

Grab the Opportunity

Many RIB manufacturers let you pick your colors and add extra features.

By deciding early, you’ve got time to get everything just right. Plus, it gives you the chance to get to know your boat, complete any training you might need, and make sure you’ve got all the safety gear on board.

So, if the idea of spending your summer out on the water has got you daydreaming, don’t wait. Now’s the time to decide on a Rigid Inflatable Boat.

Grab the opportunity, get your boat ready, and get set for a summer filled with unforgettable moments on the water.

The waves are calling, and your RIB is waiting to take you on an unforgettable summer adventure.
