The Power of Good Website Design by Diane Staron
Like having a phone number and mailing address, having a website is no longer optional in today’s competitive business world. We’ve all run across a variety of websites while surfing the internet, ranging from highly professional to amateur ones. Having a well-designed website can work for you in a number of ways, all to your advantage. A great website acts as your billboard on the worldwide web, and establishes your presence as a viable competitor. There are people who go to your site intentionally and there are those who find it by chance. In either case you want to put your best foot forward.
For some people, visiting your company’s website is their first encounter with your organization and it will give them an impression of what kind of company you are. You may want to convey a professional, original, reputable, successful, or unique personality. In our current high-tech world, a website is as important as the business cards you hand out and the brochures you leave behind. If the website is designed poorly, looks outdated, or is difficult to navigate visitors will leave the site and may never return.
Key Elements to a Well Designed Website:
- Clearly conveys who your company is and what you do.
- It’s easy to navigate through and find vital information.
- It’s aesthetically pleasing.
- Encourages some kind of call to action (call or email us, purchase a product, etc.)
- Information on the website is constantly updated and current giving people a reason to keep coming back to your website.
- Establishes the personality that best represents your organization.
It’s not over once you have a new design, however. Your website is a living image that represents your brand and the way you do business. Keeping your website updated and fresh helps to keep your customers and potential customers confident about the quality of your organization. Multi-billion-dollar companies such as Microsoft, GE and Sony spend huge amounts of money on the design and upkeep of their websites and brand image, because the two go hand in hand. The same image management can be achieved by smaller companies with a much lower budget. Walker Systems Support is one option for small and mid-size companies who want to maintain a well-designed website and consistent brand image at an affordable price.
