Advantages of Quality Website Design

We live in a fast-paced world where the majority of people are trying to save both time and money. The rapid rise of technology has made vast amounts of information, products and services available to the average person and the internet in particular has provided users with the ability to access and communicate with clients, customers, businesses and other organizations on a global scale. The growth in use of smart devices such as mobile cellphones, tablets, etc. allows greater numbers of people to search for what they need and want while on the move which has affected online sales exponentially.

Does Web Design Really Matter?

When it comes to building a successful business, an internet presence is practically a necessity today in order to keep up with the growing number of competitors that are turning to the World Wide Web to access the vast pool of clients which are no longer separated by distance. However, an internet presence alone does not guarantee success. On the contrary, basic website designs are easily passed over and ignored by the masses because they do not meet their number one need… saving time. Even if products or services are priced a bit higher than average, people tend to pay extra if it means having more time to spend with family and friends, or on recreation, hobbies, building a business, etc.

However, many people that are either starting an online business or expanding their brand presence through a website, choose basic website designs in the name of saving money. Such people tend to focus on their need for shaving cost instead of the customer’s need for saving time. This is a costly mistake. The problem with inexpensive basic designs is that they are usually passed over in favor of more streamlined, user-friendly and intuitive sites. A host of studies have demonstrated that websites with quality designs generate a number of huge advantages which equate to more customers and more income.

Advantages of Quality Web Designs

In a world rife with growing numbers of online competitors located across increasingly larger areas, small advantages can provide monetary gains that tip the scales from failure to success. It is therefore business savvy to consider the following advantages that quality website designs provide.

Appearance

Everyone knows that first impressions effect the outcome of business meetings, job interviews and even dates. If you look good and act well, you have a higher success rate toward achieving your goal. The same is true of website designs. If your website is cheap, cluttered and unattractive, people will quickly move on and forget about it. However, if your website is neatly organized, appealing to the eye and modern, people will be drawn to stay, browse and interact.

Navigation

Once your design has caught the attention of the customer, the point of saving them time immediately comes into play. In order for customers to gather more information on things they are interested in, they must navigate to pages containing that data. Slow, clumsy access to desired information has sunk countless numbers of online businesses. Successful companies therefore ensure that websites include links that are both easy to identify and provide quick and easy access to information.

Content

The information you provide on your webpages and how it is presented are critical to success. If content is hard on the eyes, poorly written, too short or too long, shallow and filled with meaningless glitz and fluff then people will leave and not return. Good page content must be professional in appearance, i.e. well-written, concise and to the point, uncluttered and streamlined.

Trust

Supplying the above goes a long way towards helping establish trust with customers. People feel more comfortable doing business face-to-face and obviously the internet eliminates that safeguard, causing an uneasy attitude of suspicion. Gaining the trust of customers in you and your brand is extremely important, both for initial sales and return visits. Therefore, your website must be welcoming and provide what is needed efficiently. It is also wise to have venues by which customers can communicate with you to ask questions, offer suggestions and resolve problems. The more at ease they feel with you, the more inclined they will be to conduct initial and repeat business with you as well as share your website with others.
