Website Design

Your website is the virtual representation of your company, whether your company exists physically or not.  Your website is essentially the hub of your online business.

People do judge you by “your covers”.  When you are doing business online, people cannot see you physically, as they could if they were dealing with a bricks and mortar company. This is why a good website design is important.

If you are running a bricks and mortar company, would you allow your salespersons to dress in shabby or casual clothes when they are dealing with your customers? By making your staff wear professionally, you are telling your customers that you do care about quality. This works simply because first impressions matter.

Similarly, it is the same with your website. If your website is put together shabbily and looks like a 5 minute “quick fix”, you are literally shouting to your visitors that you are not professional and you do not care for quality.  Conversely, if your website looks professional, you give your visitors the perception that you have given meticulous attention to every detail and you care about professionalism. You are organised, focused and you really mean business.

Statistics show that most online visitors take approximately 7 seconds to decide whether this is a site they wish to visit.  A well designed site helps with making this decision easier.

The other thing to consider with a good design is the “other things” that represent your company. From business cards to letterheads to promotional brochures, every little bit matters. This is because as you grow your business, these items become the face of your business.
