According to new research, more than 90% of consumers purchasing decisions are influenced by online media.\u00a0 Obviously, your website has something to do with how people feel about your business. \u00a0Your web design sends a powerful message to your visitors. \u00a0 The moment someone lands on your site, it either tells them to stay or go away because it is going to provide an enjoyable or an unhappy experience. \u00a0This is a major factor to consider since it’s so easy for customers to hit the back button and immediately eliminate your \u00a0product or service from their choices.<\/p>\n

An engaging website design should lead the visitor to discover exactly what they are looking for. \u00a0It should provide valuable information and offer options or a solution that will satisfy the visitor’s wants and needs. \u00a0Experienced web designers know that in addition to providing information, a quality web design should suggest a specific and clear call to action that every visitor should take before they leave. \u00a0It could be to make a purchase, to subscribe, to fill out a form or for most small businesses, it is known as call, click or visit.<\/p>\n

Designing a business website or blog can be a challenging process. To help you do it right, here are 5 important rules to consider.<\/p>\n

1. Designing a website involves planning <\/b><\/h2>\n

The most common problem in designing a website is figuring out where to start. \u00a0It actually involves creating a plan that outlines every detail, from the starting point to completion. \u00a0Before the construction begins, it is important to determine which platform it should be built on. \u00a0If you’re not familiar with this, the best option would be to find a professional web developer who can help you decide on the best platform to use. \u00a0HTML, CSS and PHP are commonly used and most experienced developers prefer to use them.<\/p>\n

Though WordPress has introduced a revolutionary blogging platform that offers add-ons and plug-ins with thousands of pre-designed themes which allow companies to build a site that can be customized according to their business needs, there are amazing benefits to having a professionally designed website rather than a do-it-yourself one. \u00a0Many web design companies, including Roja Interactive, will be happy to design a custom site using the WordPress platform so that you can still have a useful content management system.<\/p>\n

2. It takes a few seconds to capture your visitor’s attention<\/b><\/h2>\n

Remember that website visitors only stay for a few seconds. \u00a0If they can’t find what they’re looking for quickly, it’s impossible to hold their attention in the next seconds. \u00a0This is the reason why too much content on every page can be a disadvantage. \u00a0Your goal is to grab the visitor’s attention as soon as possible upon landing on your website. \u00a0Thus, immediately conveying the answer to their needs should be the highest priority. \u00a0You can grab your visitor’s attention in a systematic process by breaking down details in your website’s heading, subheading, and using the right amount of static information and interactive multimedia content, color and other necessary details.<\/p>\n

3. Too much content is not necessary<\/b><\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, in most cases, too much content in a single page can be a detriment rather than an advantage. \u00a0For example, the home page should only present a specific amount of primary information that the visitor needs. \u00a0Remember that less is more. \u00a0Each page on your website only needs a minimal amount of content with relevant purpose along with a clear call-to-action. \u00a0Consider your target audience and the course of action you want them to take. \u00a0Offer incentives to drive them to the desired direction if needed.<\/p>\n

4. Aiming for a larger audience <\/b><\/h2>\n

Every business aims to drive more visitors to their website. Of course, it takes a lot of effort and an efficient and effective online marketing strategy to achieve it. \u00a0Unique and engaging content, search engine optimization (SEO), and social media presence on networks where your target market participate, are all key ingredients to your online marketing menu.<\/p>\n

Digital marketing activities are often better managed by an experienced professional. \u00a0Even if you have some knowledge about how to \u00a0implement and manage your SEO, blog and social media channels, the best option would be to have them handled by a reputable digital marketing company so that there aren’t any mistakes made, and you are able to focus on your business and your customers.<\/p>\n

5. Never rush the web design process <\/b><\/h2>\n

Quality and creativity are crucial in developing a business website. \u00a0How your website attracts your target market across many types of devices is a major consideration. \u00a0Your product’s purchasing process and other design matters need to be properly planned and implemented. \u00a0Rushing the process will likely lead to poor results. Your website is more than just a business site. \u00a0It is a marketing tool in itself. \u00a0So, allow more time for the development process. Don\u2019t ever rush.<\/p>\n
