Navigation is important
Every website, especially those centered around a business, needs an efficient manner of navigation. Visitors should have no trouble figuring out how to move about through the content of your website.
The most common way designers create a way to get around the materials is by working a stationary navigation bar along the top or side of the design. Like this example website shows, navigation should be orderly and make sense.
Encourage communication with your design
Too often, designers stop encouraging communication through their design once their “Contact Us” page is complete, but there is much more to maintaining and encouraging effective communication than just a contact page.
In addition to your contact page, add other appeals for human connection throughout your website. Check out how this website added several different ways to reach out at the end of one of their blog posts.
The homepage, your blog posts, and your product page are all excellent places to ask visitors what they’re thinking. Add contact numbers and simplified contact forms in strategic locations across your design. For your blog, it’s helpful to create a comment box at the bottom of each post.
Create useful and engaging content
The content on your website has got to be interesting enough to catch and hold the attention of passing web users. It is estimated that you have less than ten seconds to impress viewers before they swiftly move on to another website.
Use your business blog to grab the long term attention of web users. When your blog is filled with engaging information, people will come back to read more later.
Optimize for mobile access
Mobile access to the internet is becoming more mainstream every day. Mobile devices are in every home, and people love to stay connected.
Research how to use media queries to set your design to automatically adjust to the size of the screen from which the web user is viewing. In under an hour, your site can be fully functional on a small screen.
Learn how to incorporate SEO
Search engine optimization is a collection of concepts that will help you to design more effective content for your website. When your content is fully optimized, your website will rank higher in the SERPs (search engine results pages).
Ranking higher in the SERPs means that many more web users will be presented with your site as an option when they search relevant terms.
