In order to ensure your website is helping to better your business, here are some helpful tips to ensure you are maximizing your website’s design:
-
Make sure your website looks professional. In order to make sure your website is visually pleasing to your visitors, be sure to use neat layouts, uniformed navigation, as well as keep your text in colors and sizes that are easy to read, in a web friendly font.
-
Make sure your website is responsive. It is necessary that your website displays and behaves properly on all major web browsers in various versions: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and Safari, as well as adapts to the device that the user is trying to access your website from.
-
Make sure your content is relevant. Be sure to optimize each page with include page titles and headings, use bullet points and shorter sentences when possible, as well as be sure to include relevant keywords on all pages.
-
Make sure your visitors can contact you. Be sure that the contact phone number is in the header of all pages on the website. If you have multiple locations, each with a different phone number, have a clear ‘Contact Us’ section that is accessible from any page.
-
Make sure your hyperlinks work. Be sure that all hyperlinks (both internal and external) are clearly visible and that they function correctly.
- Make sure you contact a professional. While building your own website may seem like the more affordable option, it is not always the case. By working with a professional designer, you can rest assured that your website is effective and successful.
