Website Design Elements that Will Create a Good and Lasting First Impression
They say first impression matters and will be an indicator of future success, or failure thereof. Whether you want to impress on your first job interview, first date, first meeting, whatever, people will form an opinion about you based on their first impression. A first impression of a website is not different at all.
The amount of time a web visitor spends on your website, or the decision they will make after that first visit, such as making an online purchase, will often be determined by the first impression they had of your website. There are various design elements of a typical website that you can take into consideration which will without a shadow of a doubt form a very positive first impression.
• Design
would you hand out your business card to your customer or potential customer if the business card is non-functional and not attractive? Would you send out a business proposal of your company if you know very well it has typo errors or the letter head has a wrong phone number? What if your business card had another person’s corporate colors on it, would you still go ahead and give to your potential clients?
Well, if you are of sound mind and health, you wouldn’t do any of the sorts; instead you will ensure that your company’s brand is well represented. By the same token, ensure all the details are correct in your website as it is more or less a larger virtual version of your business card.
• Functionality
one important consideration when it comes to functionality is ease of navigation. Today the GPS system of navigation is becoming very popular as no web user wants to get lost in the midst of nowhere. Your readers will want to navigate easily from A to B, and be able to return to point A if need be.
• Loading speed
In the microwave-instant generation that we live in today, people want to get very quick and immediate access to whatever it is that they are looking for. It therefore goes without saying that you will be building market for your competitors if you create a website that takes more than a few seconds to load. This is a very important consideration that you should make.
Keep in mind that there are very many websites with a wide range of choices of web users to visit so ensure your website attracts people to not only browse through easily but stay and come back. Make sure the website builds confidence which results in action, which in this case might be the much needed purchase or better still, providing their contact information -- a valuable lead for your business.
