Is your business making a good impression to your online visitors?
Website Redesign Must-Haves
The first step in assessing your digital presence is to use tried and true digital marketing benchmarks. Listed below are several must-haves your website needs to help win over leads. Each industry may vary based on business type so please keep that in mind when reviewing this list.
1. Clearly Displays Your Business Name & Services
This is kind of a no-brainer but you would be surprised at how many websites there are on the web that don't clearly present the name of their business and/or the services they have to offer. Use large legible typography to communicate who you are and what you do to potential customers who are sizing up your site.
2. High Quality Images & Videos
A picture is worth a thousand words and if your website has low quality imagery or videos it can really turn off someone looking for quality work. Make sure to use photos that are a higher resolution while not too large that it takes forever to load on your site. If you have the option to use video go for it because the moving picture can be more captivating right off the bat and hold the viewers' attention for a longer period of time.
3. Linked Social Media Accounts
Sharing your social media channels on your website in several places adds to your credibility as a business. Be sure to include each channel's icon and link it for easy access to your other platforms. Try adding your social media linked icons to the header, footer, contact page, as well as pinning them to the side margins for leads to easily navigate to.
