Let Professionals Help
Website designing firms such as Webcom Systems, a web designing agency Adelaide, can provide expert guidance on how to improve your existing design. Here are some useful tips the company offers:
- Reduce load speed –It should ideally take just about 6 seconds to load for the visitor, especially a first-timer. If it takes unusually longer, it’s highly likely to put off traffic, even permanently.
- Make your home page the star page – Your home page is the face of your website, which will eventually decide whether or not people wish to stay or move on. Spend time on designing it. Make it attractive for visitors to stay hooked on for longer.
- Make your website phone-friendly –Design your site in a way that it’s easier to navigate on hand-held devices – smartphones, tablets, and iPads. Allow users to scroll up and down, rather than making them click, avoid carousels, sliders, and tabs, all of which are inconvenient.
- Make sure 404s are taken care of before launch – Bugs are an extreme put off for your users. While they are inevitable in any web design, you need to fix them before launching your website in the market.
- Keep the design clean – Nobody likes clutter, not even on websites. Don’t just keep adding content to fill out the white space. Keep it to the point; it’ll make it load faster too. Companies that offer web designing Australia can help provide you a clean and concise website design for your business.
- Use high-quality content – While we’re speaking of content, note that it should be good, unique and useful. It not only attracts traffic but is a favorite among search engines too.
- Keep it visual – A big yes always to interesting visual designs – more of people pictures or even simple arrows that act like visual cues to the reader on what’s written in the content.
- Include social buttons– That’s an absolute must since majority of your business would come from social sharing on Facebook, Twitter, and the like. Include them in your content.
- Invite call to action – Your content is useful only when it can propel people to use your business/service. Make ways for your readers to eventually come around to trying your services – a free trial, creating an account, or subscribing to company newsletter.
- Create your blog – Websites that have been in existence for several years too are now moving on to creating blogs. They look more attractive visually and allow you to promote your content and services.
