by Nitie Atamenwan
By now, every business owner should understand how critical it is to invest in a website. Well not just a mere website, but a customized one that will meet your customers’ needs. Ideally, your business website should include several features such as: visually appealing, trendy, responsive, secured, user friendly, informative, interactive, mobile optimized, search engine optimized and easily accessible.
Aesthetic appearance is an essential quality. It’s the first thing anyone notices when visiting your site. You are more likely to attract and retain customers with a beautiful website. An attractive site is a great complement of your brand and the quality of your services and products. The images, color, illustrations and overall design work together to play a huge role in your website’s appearance.Color Psychology in Marketing explains that color prompts your audience to see what you’re showing them, understand your message and act like you want them to act. Color choices have a psychological effect on costumers and their decisions. A professional in brand management is in the right position to advise you on a suitable color choice that will best fit your company’s goals.
However, there’s more to building a website that just making it look appealing. The first step is attracting customers with the appearance of your website. Then you must keep them captivated with what your site has to offer. Would you drive a beautiful car that won’t start? You literally can’t. In the same way, you may have the prettiest website but without responsive, interactive or user friendly features, it’s just a piece of art! Your website should motivate your customers or visitors to take action, not just smile in admiration.
There are certain criteria to be met and rules that should be followed to increase the visibility of your website and its content.
