Every web design process is unique to its own designer, but there are main standards that any website should have. Let’s see if your website qualifies to be on the positive end.
Website Navigation
In a website, the navigation menu helps you go to other pages & links available in your website.
Have you been in a situation where you don’t know where you are once landed in a website? This is a top indication where the navigation has failed the website.
Lookout for the following,
- You get lost in the website
- No proper location for navigation menu
- Too many items in the menu
- Directing to external links
- Unnecessary menu labels
Always keep in mind the people you want to attract for your website & make sure to have an easy to navigate menu.
Quality of the photos
Quality of the photos,graphics are quite important for any website. In this visual age, people are more drawn towards images & videos whereas paragraphs of content seem rather boring to them. Hence a lot of websites make a priority to include images but is that enough?
That’s why high resolution & relevance are the obvious factors to determine the quality of images which can be used in your website.
Always think in your client’s shoes.
Do you like seeing unrelated photos in a website where you are planning to request a service or do a purchase?
How would you feel when you see low resolution graphics in a website where you can’t even make the words out?
Mobile experience
Did you know that 63% of the total number of website traffic come from mobile devices as of today & it is on the rise?
So it is very important that your website is optimised for mobile devices not just desktop.
Do not panic if your website is not mobile friendly yet…It is not the end of the world. Ask your web designer about making your website mobile optimised.
Time taken to load your website
“Oh no it is taking forever to load this site! I’m wasting too much of my time”
Have you heard people yelling at the top of their mouth as if they are about to run a race?
The truth is,the world is fast paced so much that people do not like to waste their time on doing things they don’t like because they always have other options.
So, make it a priority to watch out for your website speed.
Because it can repel more of your customers than attract them if your website is a sloth.
Look into following with your developer, if your website continues to experience slow load time.
- Utilizing caches
- Choosing a different web host
- Minimizing HTML and CSS code
- Optimizing image and file sizes
- Limiting page redirects
- Using Content Delivery Networks (CDN)
- Limiting plugins and page elements
- Including trailing slashes on URLs
Space for personal interactions
Aways make your website more interactive for your customers where they are enabled to get help, ask questions when needed.
Imagine you are on the Woolworths Website and want to buy a product which you have some questions about. So you look for a way to contact a Woolworths agent online, like a chatbot, contact form or a call button before making a purchase.
What if the option to contact is not available? It would easily make 1 less customer for Woolworths website.
So do not be in a delusion that your website is very easy to read and any 5 year old can close their eyes and make a purchase without any question, just because you can.
Always make it possible for your customers to contact you without wasting too much time.
