Web design by Leicester web designers

Why is a great website design so important?

 

You only get a few seconds to impress.

Your website is a reflection of you, as a business owner and professional. If your website looks professional, your visitors will think you are a successful company that provides high quality products and services. If your website looks cheap, home-built or thrown together then that's how you and your products and services will be perceived. Most visitors take just a few seconds to decide if they will stay on your website or visit a competitor's website. Your website needs to look visually appealing, be easy to navigate and contain relevant information.

The most popular reasons given for leaving a website are,"The site felt amateurish, it seemed as though the company didn't take themselves seriously... The website was poor and I was concerned the level of customer service would also be poor... I felt like the company didn't care about their website and so wouldn't care about me as a customer." If people are viewing your site and thinking any of the above, you could be losing enquires and not even know about. You are probably also spending money to get those visitors to log on to your website!

 

A great website design can generate more local business.

Local people like to support local businesses. Having a professional website gives you an effective online presence and can increase enquiries by ensuring local people who search online find you. A well designed website will encourage them to either order online from you or visit your premises. If they find your competitors site and they look more reputable, you will lose business to them.

 

Global business opportunities.

Launching a fantastic new website means you'll instantly become a global business. Your website will be visible in almost every country around the globe, giving you the potential to expand your client base by millions.

 

Turn social media traffic in to revenue.

Social media and a corporate website are a powerful and complementary one-two punch. Social media is a great way to drive in-bound traffic to your site. If traffic is being driven to your website, it needs to meet expectations. It needs to be well designed, clear, interesting, easy to navigate and should encourage people who have been attracted by social media to take action by either requesting more information or buying a product or service. If your website is difficult to navigate and badly designed, it won't matter how great you are at using social media, you will fail to turn social media web traffic into enquiries and sales.

 

 

 

 

Leicester web designers - hosting and domain registration

We strongly advise our clients to register their own domains and buy their own hosting packages - Don't worry, we will take you through the process to make it very simple! The reason we advise this is because we spend a lot of time trying to get domains released from some web designers who hold their client's domains to ransom when they try to move across to us. Your domain and website is the online presence of your company and as such is valuable to you. By helping you to register your domain, you will be in complete control of it. We will of course register it for you if you would like, we haven't had to release a domain yet (our client's are happy people!), but if we ever had to we would do so without any fuss. We can appreciate the hassle it can cause after numerous battles for domains on behalf of our clients!
