Your website is most likely one of the first places a potential customer will experience an interaction with your business. A well-designed website can improve customer service, increase engagement, and lead to more conversions to closed business. Here are the top 5 best practices for website design to achieve these goals,

1. User-Centered Design

The design of your website should focus on the end user, sometimes called The Buyer Persona. You want to identify who you are talking to and understand their motivation so you can target them correctly.

2. Mobile-Responsive

Everyone is using a smartphone now, so your website must be optimized for mobile devices. Your website should be designed to adapt to different sized devices in both portrait and landscape views for Apple and Android devices in various sizes. Google is also looking for this kind of adaptability, which will affect your SEO ranking.

3. Clear & Consistent Branding

Your website should reflect your brand's identity and message. The logo, colors, and tagline should be clear and consistent throughout your marketing, including your signs and print. This consistency creates a cohesive feel while making it easy for users to identify and remember your company's brand.

4. Fast Load Times

Loading time can significantly impact the user experience and too higher bounce rates. The bounce rate is determined by how quickly the visitor leaves the site. To ensure that your site load quickly, we optimize your images, compress files, and minimize the use of heavy scripts when possible.

5. Accessibility

Your website should be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We design websites with accessibility in mind, using clear and easily readable text, high contrast, colors, proper labeling, and alternative text for images. We can also install an accessibility tool like Userway for those more concerned about their customer's ability to view their website correctly.

By following these best practices for website design, we can help you create a visually appealing and user-friendly website. This can help improve user engagement and increase conversions, making your online presence even more effective.
