Companies often believe that the more
stuff there is on a web site (noises, animated imagery, chirps, graphics
and music) the more eye-catching their site is. In fact, these things
can be distracting and cause a customer to get frustrated and leave.
Navigation is also extremely important
to a site. Most people who search on-line do not look past the first
couple of pages in a website before they decide whether or not that
site is useful to them. Your homepage should let visitors know what
your site has to offer. Links to further information should be clearly
labeled, organized, and prominent on the page. Your customers should
be able to easily find the information they are looking for and be
gently guided toward purchasing your products.
A sloppy web design risks more than
just failing to attract customers -- in some cases, it can actually
repel them. Before even reading about your products, your customers
may immediately see your company as being unprofessional and disorganized.
Most people design a website to their
own tastes, but it takes a knowledgeable designer to design a site
for the customer. Creativity, ease of use, professionalism and clarity
all influence a customer's purchasing decision. An effective design
will draw your customers in and inspire them to purchase your product.
