Website Design & Development
There is only one answer if your website is good or bad. A website is good when it sells. You have a good website if it brings leads, provides purchases, aggregates subscribers, gives calls, builds awareness that can be measured, finds volunteers, provides contact form submissions, brings downloads, or pulls up donations. Businesses are different, but one thing stays – the website should work and you should be able to measure the results that matter.
Stop making everybody happy. You are not a tequila
What makes a good website?
Although every business is unique, there are several characteristics that the majority of high-performance websites for small and local businesses have in common.
What makes a good website design checklist:
- Has responsive design for desktop, mobile, and tablet versions.
- Has NAP (name address phone) on every page at the top and the bottom of the page.
- Does not make false promises and does not mislead users.
- Has consistent corporate identity (logo, banners with a corporate style, real photos in good quality, videos).
- Represents the services (product ) structure from a customer perspective.
- Represents style and colors that are appreciated by your customers and consumers.
- The goal of digital presence can be completed in two clicks (calls, contact form submission, visiting a specific page, purchase, subscription, and so on).
It is vital for nowadays websites to be fully optimized for desktop, mobile, and tablet searches and load in less than 4 seconds. If you design loads for more than 4seconds – you lose about 40-70% (depending on the industry) of potential business. It means, there is no good website design if it loads more than 4 sec.
