Website Design needs Curb Appeal

A great website design has curb appeal. When you first arrive it is pleasing in appearance and inviting to enter. For homes, a prospective buyer makes up their mind in the first 30 seconds whether they are interested or not. But for website visitors, this happens in the first 2-3 seconds.

What makes for a great website design?

  1. Fast loading. Slow loading websites lose visitors before they arrive.
  2. Upon arriving, the visitor instantly understands what the website is about.
  3. Design is consistent with company and industry image. An attorney website should be professional, an amusement park should be fun, etc.
  4. The overall design including graphics, fonts and colors should blend together harmoniously.
  5. Organize content into blocks with headlines similar to a newspaper.
  6. Navigation should be simple and intuitive.
  7. If you are selling products, place photos of your products and a buy now button on the home page.
  8. Interesting content with the correct keyword phrases to attract interested visitors.

Just like selling a home, great curb appeal will bring visitors into your website
