COMPANY Overview

Web-Impac Software and Applications, part of the newly formed
technology Division of Hampton Bates Public Relations and Marketing, is
founded on the notion that the visual impact of a website generates a “First
Impression” that drives the online sales process for products and services.

With a finely honed eye for what makes a company look good and keen insight into how to make it stand
out from competitors, Sylvia Hampton, a public relations and marketing master, has been helping customers
across the globe improve their brand, reputation and sales for more than 25 years.

Captain Eric Robinson, Sylvia’s younger brother, is not only a world class pilot but also a successful entre-
preneur of several ventures and together they founded Web-Impac whose sole mission is to help companies
and corporations get inside the minds of online buyers and consumers and enhance their understanding of
what drives online sales, why buyers buy and how to convert more website visitors into paying customers.

Web-Impac’s team of technical engineers, business developers and marketing experts base their products
and strategies around several ground-breaking studies including recent pieces from Google Research and
Harvard validating their theory that web designers have about 0.05 milliseconds to make a good first im-
pression before users form an opinion to determine whether they like a site or not; whether they’ll stay and
peruse or leave. Additionally, a Consumer WebWatch study proffered that the average consumer paid far
more attention to the superficial aspects of a site, such as visual cues, than to its content.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT

It is information like this that drives the dedicated and talented Web-Impac team to not only develop soft-
ware and products that measure visual impact but also to build proprietary, unique algorithms that blend
public relations, user input and traditional metrics that are reduced to mathematical formulas that will give a
company a deeper look into what is successfully or isn’t working on their website.

Web-Impac currently has several projects in development but are currently focusing on their two newest
releases: the Web-Impac, “Star-Points Voter System®,” which allows a website visitor to rate First Impres-
sions on the site itself as well as specific products or services; and their “This-or-That?” button, which is
a comparative tool that allows visitors to give a straight up or down vote on a website, product or service but
can be used within the political arena to help political candidates gauge their popularity over an opponent.

Future versions will not only be able to tell whether someone likes one thing or another but how much and
to what degree they like or dislike something.

opinion based on an immediate First Impression of the look and feel of the website, measuring
the visual impact of how people view and vote on your website. Through the use of propri-

of stars, web views and user input, web sales and actions, page metrics and traditional SEO.

Armed with this in depth knowledge, the website owner can properly build, format, and annotate the look and
content in a way that potential customers and buyers can digest and act upon.  Website owners have the option
to display their scores to the public.
