5 Must Have Website Design Elements that Enhance User Experience

5 Must Have Website Design Elements that Enhance User Experience

Things happen quickly in the digital world and it should come as no surprise that website design has been rapidly changing over the last few years. With Google favoring mobile-friendly websites as well as the explosion of consumer need for graphic content such as videos, it has become necessary for a constant monitoring and adjustments to a company’s digital strategy. 

Not to mention, a well-maintained website generates more leads and helps to grow your business. If your site is more than a few years old, it is safe to say that you are in need of a website makeover.  

To demonstrate the must have website design elements that will enhance the user experience, we will use one of the recent website makeovers we did for our client, Frank’s Wine.

 

5 Must Have Website Design Elements:

 

1. Use a Responsive Design – Your website design should respond to the visitor’s behavior and be displayed properly on different devices or screen sizes. This is achieved by designing flexible grids and layouts and well as including images and CSS media queries. 
 
2. Mobile-Friendly Functionality – It is important to have a clean and efficient design that fits a small phone or tablet screen that is easy to navigate. Making contact and taking action are important features to take into consideration when planning out a mobile website. Many smartphone users are making spur of the minute decisions, such as where to eat or purchase an item by searching for reviews, price comparisons and product specifications from their mobile device.

3. Multiple Optimized Landing Pages – While redesigning your website should focus on the visual elements, form and function need to work well together. Make sure to incorporate SEO  on each landing page you create. Building a beautiful website does you no good if no one can find it!

4. Include Social Media Links – Showcasing every way you can communicate, connect and engage with your potential customer is crucial in today’s marketing climate. That is why you need to make sure that you include your social media links on the website in the clear way, should your visitors choose to connect with you through different platforms.

5. Provide Calls to Action on Every Page – Whether you provide services or sell products, in order to encourage your website visitors to take action you need to include CTA buttons on each page. See the example below:

5 Reasons Why a Good Website Design is Important for Business Growth 

April 3, 2018 by Paulina Cruz

good website design

Did you know investing in a good website design early on is one of the smartest things a business can do? Why? Because there’s no better way to quickly inform your customers who you are, what you do and how you do it better than your competition.  

Research shows that a user/ potential customer can form an opinion about your online presence in about .05 seconds once the page loads. That means what they see online can either make or break your business! If a well-designed website is not you first and foremost marketing tool at the moment, we’re here to tell you it’s time to change that! Here’s 5 more reasons why a good website design is important for your business growth: 

 

5 Reasons Why a Good Website Design is Important for Business Growth 

 

  1.  Better Branding. In simple words, your website should act as an extension of your brand. To leave a lasting impression on your visitors, invest in a professional looking website with clear call-to-actions for potential customers. Also, keep in mind that if your web presence doesn’t transfer to a good experience on mobile devices, about 50% of your visitors will most likely think you don’t care about them. 
  2. Higher Google ranking. By creating a responsive and mobile-friendly website, you will have greater success in reaching more potential customers. Implementing SEO and creating quality content tells a search engine like Google that your website is relevant, therefore more people need to see it. Result? Higher rankings!
  3. Data-Driven Results. Use Google Analytics (for free) to learn how your users are interacting with your company’s website and then improve their experience accordingly. Trust us, your website will prove invaluable in providing data about your customers and their buying behaviors! 
  4. 24/7 Accessibility. With the help of a good website design, business owners are able to create a user-friendly and welcoming online environment where visitors can get useful information any time of the day. 
  5. Better Customer Service. One last thing to remember when it comes to a good website design is that it should be all about the user! That means easy navigation, clean layout, visible contact information, up to date links and of course, quality content. Your clientele will NOT be impressed with a dated and poor functioning website! Remember, first impression counts! 

 

As you can see, a good website design has the potential of becoming the most effective marketing and branding material your business can use.

What You Need To Know About Security Warnings in Google Chrome

September 26, 2017 by Paulina Cruz

Are you in charge of your own standalone IC Site or client sites that have forms on web pages that are HTTP (not HTTPS)? If so, you might have received an email from Google Search Console recently reminding you that starting October 17, 2017, these pages will be showing security warnings  in Google Chrome.

Important Information About Security Warnings in Google Chrome


Do you manage websites that are HTTP and have pages with forms capturing some sort of customer data (eg. contact us form)?  If yes, this notice is very important for your case and you should definitely care about the difference between http and https. Why?

It might seem so sudden, but the Google’s plan to change labeling HTTP sites as non-secure has been gradually taking place since January 2017, following the change of Chrome 56. In recent statements, Chrome explained this initiative as cracking down on HTTP infractions with credit cards and passwords. “Passwords and credit cards are not the only types of data that should be private. Any type of data that users type into websites should not be accessible to others on the network, so starting in version 62 Chrome will show the “Not secure” warning when users type data into HTTP sites.” – Chromium Blog


 

So what’s the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?

Whenever you’re visiting the HTTP site, you sit at your browser and interact with data. However, how the data travels from Point A to Point B, or even if it travels at all, is none of HTTP’s concern.

It’s similar with HTTPS, BUT when security is a must, HTTPS differentiates one sender and receiver from another. The SSL actually encrypts the coming and going data. This means that SSL uses a mathematical algorithm to hide the true meaning of the data. The hope is that this algorithm is so complex it is either impossible or prohibitively difficult to crack, therefore making data submitted through HTTPS web page (contact details, credit card info) more secure.


 

How to avoid these security warnings in Google Chrome?

  1. Host with a dedicated IP address.
  2. Buy a Certificate.
  3. Activate the Certificate.
  4. Install the Certificate.
  5. Update your site to use HTTPS.

If you migrate your site from HTTP to HTTPS, Google treats this as a site move with a URL change. This can temporarily affect some of your traffic numbers.

See the site move overview page to learn more. Also, here is more information on Google Search Console recommendations about https.

If You Don’t Make Your Business Mobile-Friendly Now, You’ll Hate Yourself Later

September 25, 2015 by Paulina Cruz

Mobile-Friendly Websites

Businesses across the globe are making a mobile optimized experience for smartphone users a top priority. So should your business.

With mobile usage surpassing desktop and 25% of all searches being done from mobile devices, not optimizing for mobile users is like handing over a quarter of your possible customers to your competitors that have embraced the mobile marketplace.

Making contact and taking action are important features to take into consideration when planning out a mobile website. Many smartphone users are making spur of the minute decisions, such as where to eat or purchase an item by searching for reviews, price comparisons and product specifications from their mobile device.

What exactly are smartphone users looking for in a mobile website?

  • Site Speed
  • Big mobile-friendly navigation buttons
  • Easy access to business contact information
  • ‘Click to Call’ button
  • Engaging Videos
  • Social Media links
  • Easy Access to Information
  • Easy to Use Search Bar
  • Limited scrolling & pinching
  • Option to visit non-mobile site
  • Ability to save information for later

It is important to have a clean and efficient design that fits a small screen and is easy to navigate. Google updated its algorithm this past April to give higher ranking to those businesses whose sites are mobile optimized for mobile searches.

Check to see how mobile friendly your site is using Google’s ‘Mobile-Friendly’ Test

If a site is not mobile-friendly, users get annoyed and that is bad for business and bad for your rankings in search engines. Over 70 percent of mobile users say that a well-designed mobile site is important to them and over 60 percent of them say they will leave a non-friendly one.

Advertising is Simple can design the mobile-friendly website your customers are demanding, give us a call today!
