Websites need more than just ‘Good Looks’

Websites need more 
than just ‘Good Looks’ 

Having a website that ‘looks good’ is an essential part of your marketing strategy. But looks aren’t everything. The functionality and experience of the website user are just as important, if not more so.

Understanding the ‘User Experience’, which has been coined ‘UX’, is central to your website not only providing engaging, quality content, but helping your consumers to convert their interest to a lead or sale.

The design of any new website, or the redesign of any existing site, should have ‘UX’ at the core of any research and planning. It will help you appreciate how consumers are using your website, allowing you to create a journey through the pages that is simple and intuitive, therefore influencing the design of your ‘User Interface’ or ‘UI’ (what the user interacts with).

Websites come in all shapes and sizes. Depending on the objectives and budget, your website can range in scale, look and feel. With the plethora of ‘free’ website platforms available, anyone can be a website designer… producing sites that really look the business! But whatever your website, just make sure you put yourself in the shoes of your consumer. How are they going to use the site, what’s their journey, and what’s your objective for them? Is it to simply research your product? or pick up the phone and become a hot lead? Either way… ‘User Experience' is key.
