3 Simple Tips For Making Good First Impression With Your Website

1. Different Yourself From Your Competitor

How are you different from the competition? Do you have the colour tone, structure, colours, spacing, symmetry, amount of text, and fonts as mentioned above?

Sometimes we notice that the majority of websites from the same industry look almost the same, to the extent that if you remove the logo from the site’s header, it’s impossible to differentiate one site from another.

When we start a website, we all have the tendency to follow what is done by our competitors, and completely forget why we should follow them in the first place. 

Remember maintaining a strong brand identity can drastically change how visitors feel when they visit your website. In addition to leaving your website with interest, visitors could even leave with loyalty to you and your brand.

Online brand identity is not a one time job, it is a necessity of managing your website. Thus you will need to manage your brand identity frequently.

Website owners and designers need to constantly reassess their brand in order to stay relevant and keep the interest of visitors. Read more on brand identity requires ongoing maintenance, MaryVille.edu

3. Focus & Enhance User Experience

Your website is a 24/7 salesman, thus it has the potential to be the most powerful asset of your business. Either you want to sell a product, a service or you want visitors to subscribe/opt in for free trials.

However, sometimes things might not turn out as what you had planned, or work or achieve what it’s supposed to. Your website might not create much of an impact on your visitors’ minds that would make them come back.

If you put consistent effort into improving the user experience, everything that goes with it, you can turn things around. 

User experience (UX) is meant to make the experience of visitors visiting and navigating your website as easy and enjoyable as possible.

If someone has to search for five minutes the  information they’re looking for, or keeps being directed to a page they didn’t click on/information that does not fit what they are searching for, the UX is rather negative — and your visitors will likely end up leaving your website.

And once they leave, they might never return. Luckily, there are some great tools out there to recover and enhance the user experience of your website, such as Google optimizer, hotjar, heatmap, and more to help you with the right direction of UX updates.

This will help your website visitors feel satisfied when they revisit your website. Read more about Improve Your Website UX Design, Hotjar.com
