Creating good impression with strategic Homepage
Before designing your homepage, it is important to devise a proper strategy to implement on it. Your website's homepage is your image in front of the customer. So you have to assess the information your homepage would show versus what exactly your customer wants to see on it. Many brands miss out on important aspects of a successful homepage, which are as follows.
- A primary homepage image that is above the fold
- Natural sounding copy
- Clearly listed products and services
- A sticky logo in the left-hand corner that links to the homepage through the entire site
- An easy-to-identify navigational menu etc.
By employing these aspects, you land yourself a better chance of attracting customers to interact with your website. Keep your homepage text organic. 86% of customers only check out a brand's homepage to explore their product listings. Hence make sure to put up your products on the main page.
Increasing Conversion through relevant Landing Pages
Many entrepreneurs overlook the importance of landing pages and consider it to be a difficult task. However, building additional pages helps generate more leads. The main idea behind landing pages is to help customers find relevant information pertaining to a product. Landing pages also help users in certain other aspect of product/payment. Some ideas for landing pages are pay-per-click-advertisements, social media marketing campaigns, search listing results or another channel.
Try to serve text on your landing pages in the form of bullets. It helps customers easily navigate to content that they are looking for. Always use text calls to action that enhances conversion to up to 121% and that's a whooping rise.
Using Responsive Web Design to serve all types of Devices
Mobile phones are an equally important medium in helping consumers make online purchases. In fact 50% of internet traffic comes through mobile devices. Statista mobile internet study at https://www.statista.com/topics/779/mobile-internet/ has revealed this insight. This statistic emphasizes the need for creating a responsive design for website. It makes it essential for you to maintain a website that can be viewed from mobile devices.
Many companies now offer website solutions that are responsive in nature. Similarly, the logo should be responsive as well with an easy-to-use search bar. The website should have large buttons with call to action (CTAs). Users should be able to easily click/touch with the help of their fingers. Even the font should be legible so that content is easily readable.
Incorporating Multimedia on Website
The time of mundane websites with large amount of content is over. Nowadays, websites with videos, images, motion graphics and slideshows etc are popular with customers. Conversion rates are increased by 40% with inclusion of product videos. The usage of multimedia helps increase time on site by presenting information in an engaging manner. Thus the consumers remember information about the product.
Fast Website Site Speed & Load Time
Make sure your website is light enough to load quickly for the user. Any web page that takes more time in loading discourages users to stay on the website. Statistically, 40% of users don't stay on a website if a web page takes 3 or more seconds to load. Many businesses lose out on customers just because of this reason.
