But before that, let me answer-
What Happens If You Don’t Have an Online Presence
Most consumers are looking online for information that will help them make smarter purchasing decisions. In fact, according to the eCommerce Foundation, 88% of consumers research product information before they make a purchase online or in the store. This buying behavior trend emphasizes the importance of a website for today’s businesses.
If you don’t have a personal website, you already fall behind to reach 88% of consumers.
In today’s age, if you don’t have a website, then a large portion of buyers will not even consider you while they are shopping online or offline. Now, a website becomes the identity of a business. It can be a great way to connect with people from all over the world.
Also, you can showcase your products and services in detail with beautiful graphics. It will attract more new clients for your business and make your brand trustworthy to them. That would be beneficial to grow your business at a rapid pace. In short, to sustain in this competitive world, you must ensure your strong online presence with great functionalities.
These are the key factors that you will miss if you don’t have a website already.
Basic Ideas You Should Consider When Building a Website
Almost every website contains some basic ideas. For instance, without a logo, you can’t even imagine a website, right? So you should maintain some common key points.
These are the basic ideas behind a smart website-
- Easy Navigation to Help Your Visitors
- Make Functionality As the Powerhouse of Your Website
- Design Header and Footer to Create an Impression
- Add Visual Design to Make Your Website More Appealing
- Create an SEO Friendly Website
- Set Content to Get Notified Easily
- Set a Contact Form to Let People Contact You
- Maintain an Active Blog to Get Regular Visitors
Let’s get into the details to customize your website design and structure.
1. Easy Navigation to Help Your Visitors
The website design should be easy to navigate, and the menu items should be easily accessible from any page. The viewer should always know exactly where they are on the website and have easy access to where they would like to be. A site map is a great idea and will be used if available.
2. Make Functionality As the Powerhouse of Your Website
When thinking about functionality, there are a few matters to consider. Such as-
- Is the website functional in the literal sense?
- Are there loading issues or broken links?
- Are the site’s security features adequate for your business needs?
In addition to these operational issues, viewing your website’s features from the user’s perspective is crucial. Check whether the contact forms, surveys, and customer feedback sections are working properly. One or all of these functional issues can prompt a customer to leave your site.
3. Design Header & Footer to Create Impression
Mostly, a web page starts with a header and ends with a footer. A well-designed header can influence a visitor to stay more time on your site. On the contrary, your copyright, social icons, and other important information should be reflected on the footer side.
4. Add Visual Design to Make Your Website More Appealing
Your website has about 1/10th of a second to impress your visitor and let them know that your business is trustworthy and professional.
However, it’s important not to go overboard with too much. Scrolling text, animation, and flash intros should be used sparingly in your web design and only to emphasize a point for maximum effect.
5. Create an SEO Friendly Website
Search engines are often the biggest source of traffic for most websites. Google and other search engines use advanced algorithms to understand and rank the most relevant pages in search results.
If your content isn’t optimized well, then search engines won’t pull it up when someone searches with relevant keywords. As a result, you’ll miss out on all that traffic. It’s really important for all business owners to make their website search engine friendly. So that they can maximize their site traffic.
6. Set Content to Get Notified Easily
This is the backbone of your website. Your content plays a major role in your search engine placement. That’s why the content should be informative, easy to read, and concise. Well-thought-out web content and copy will do more than anything else to make your website engaging, effective, and popular.
7. Set a Contact Form to Let People Contact You
A truly effective website design engages your visitors immediately and continues to hold their attention through every page, as well as influences them to contact you. Include a contact form to your website containing only some required fields. So that visitors can easily send their queries to you by simply filling out a form.
8. Maintain an Active Blog to Get Regular Visitors
An on-site blog keeps customers informed about the latest products, company events, and industry-related information. It can be an effective way to connect with your readers and encourage them to interact with your brand. By regularly providing readers with fresh, helpful, engaging content, your brand becomes a trusted resource and an industry authority.
