Make Your Website Work For You

When embarking on a new website for your business it is vital that you approach the task with the right set of outcomes. What is the website for? Who is going to using it? What do you want them to do, or learn whilst they are there?

Even more importantly, how are you going to capture their attention in those first few crucial seconds to ensure that they stay on the site long enough to make the effort and expense you have gone to worth your while.

The two tenants of making those first seconds count are excellent visuals and easy navigation. If the design is right, landing on your website will leave your customer with a first impression that they are in the right place. If the navigation matches their intentions, they should be quickly sign-posted to their goals, before tedium, frustration, or the call of checking back onto Facebook, or making a quick cuppa distracts them away.

It is not enough to have a website that looks the business on day one, because even great visuals and engaging content will feel jaded if there is nothing new to come back for.
