Year in Review of the BYU Design Review - 2021

We want to say thank you for being a part of the BDR community and supporting us! The BDR continues to grow and we hope to make the BDR even better in 2022 to help you be a better designer. If you find value in the BDR, we hope that in 2022 you might try submitting an article yourself.

Highlights from 2021:

• Articles Published: 54

• Contributors: 14

• Page Views: 31,000 (as the BDR has grown many statistics are only available to the nearest thousand)

• Audience Size: 18,000

• Readership in the USA: Readers from all 50 states, so thank you to those that started reading from Vermont.

  • 10.5% of readers are from Provo, Utah (where BYU is located)

  • 4.5%% of readers are from other places in Utah.

  • 46.5% of readers are from other states in the USA

  • 38.5% of readers are from places outside the USA

• International Readership: Readers from 149 countries (excluding the USA), with India having the most readers, followed by the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the Philippines.

• The bounce rate (a measure of if people leave the site after visiting just one page): 84.2%, meaning 84% of visitors read the article they came for, then close the site. A lower bounce rate is better.  Most sites like the BYU Design Review have bounce rates between 70-98%. 

Thank you again for continuing to support the BDR!
