When it comes to communicating your brand to the public, your business’ website is everything! So, how do you make it stand out amongst the crowd?
The answer? Through quality, well-thought out and effective website design, of course!
As a successful digital marketing agency in London – we understand that, as a business owner, you want to covert site visitors into future customers. Your website is often the first interaction a potential customer will have with you and your brand, so it’s important that your site is accessible, easy-to-use and of course, to the point.
So, whether you’re designing it yourself or getting the professionals in – here are a few great tips to getting the results you want from your website’s design and functionality.
Value is important
When it comes to business; good brands are build on strong value proposition. Consider why your customers should want your product or service, and how it provides them a good return or investment in the long run.
The goal of any website is to drive sales or awareness, and encourage value proposition. When a client visits your site, make it an easy decision as to whether they need your product or not (of course they do!)
A good brand campaign is to shift the attention away from you, and onto your customer – making them the reason you created the product in the first place!
Don’t make a distraction
One thing you never want a visitor to ask when using your site, “Where do I go next?”
If your website has multiple calls to action, or the navigation bar has too many links to choose from, a visitor’s attention will be diverted away from the site’s main focus – to sell.
Tip: break your navigation into a primary menu and a secondary one. The primary navigation should include links to only a handful of important pages, for example – the pages that sell and educate your product.
Secondary pages should include FAQ page, an ‘about us’ page and anything else that is less likely to be accessed as regularly, although still easy to find.
What next?
Everything on your marketing website should be designed around a clear path which highlights where a visitor goes from the homepage, to becoming a paying customer.
In order to optimise your call to action, why not place a ‘purchase’ button, an email update or contact details in clear view throughout your site – encouraging customers to make contact or even purchase such products. If a customer doesn’t purchase, at least encourage them to subscribe to your email updates for the future. If you’ve achieved this – your website is effective, easy to access and user-friendly.
