In our previous blog, we explained Pay Per Click marketing; this time we’re looking at the quality of your website through quality web design and the impact that this can have on your visitors’ decision to buy.
How attractive is your ‘shop window’, and how is this affected by Quality Web Design?
Your website is your shop window. It takes only a few seconds to walk past most shop fronts. We all make judgments based on lots of pieces of information. For instance, imagine you’ve been working hard and you’re starving. In the time it takes to walk past your local sandwich shop, your brain can take in countless pieces of information:
One guy making the sandwiches is sneezing; none of them are wearing hats to protect the food from their hair
One staff member is handling delivery boxes whilst wearing food preparation gloves
Two tables by the window are stained with dried coffee; the window sill is covered in dead flies and wasps
So, how hungry are you? You’ll probably wait until the next food shop. We make decisions like this every day, and most aren’t so obvious.
Window dressing through Quality Web Design
The same principles apply to websites through quality web design. To capture the attention of any visitors, you need:
A visually pleasing, smart and professional design
Content that is well written
Photographs and images that are of a high standard
Quality Web Design
Passing visitors decide within a few seconds whether to stay or move on. Being price competitive is not enough: you need to create a good impression, demonstrate quality and build trust rapidly – via quality web design.
As most visitors are unlikely to know your company or brand, they’ll make a decision about your company based entirely on what they see on your website pages, heavily impacted by quality web design. First impressions are everything.
If your website has been cobbled together by a friend, or someone who ‘knows a bit of HTML’, you may need to think again, because the chances are, you don’t have a quality web design. Your competitors’ websites will have a quality web design by professionals who understand how to portray a powerful image, reliability and above all the trustworthy nature of their business – just through the quality web design.
Their websites are also likely to have been professionally written by a copywriter who understands how to capture people’s attention, nurture an enquiry and sell the benefits of their products and services – all in a few paragraphs.
So, if you want to attract high quality customers, make sure that the look and ‘feel’ of your website pages are also of a high quality and do real justice to your products and services through quality web design.
