Does your website not do what you want? Does it repel your the few visitors that you get. I’ve compiled a list of possible reasons why your website stinks
No Planning
Out of the many reasons for not planning out your web design, all of them lead to a stinking website. Plan, Plan and plan some more unless you want your to end up in a mess. Save yourself time and money, come up with a plan and do it right the first time.
Your Budget Wasn’t Well Rounded
If you didn’t budget out your website, you’ve made an awful mistake. It is better to scrimp a little on your web design so that you actually have resources to get targeted traffic to your site. If your budget is small, start small but keep it well rounded build some sales and build up each portion evenly. You need to budget for web design, content, web development, SEO, Internet marketing and public relations.
You Forgot to Do Cross Browser Testing
Many forget that the same web design code can look different, not only in different browsers, but in different versions of browsers as well. And when I say different, I mean a bunch of web design mess. A web design that is not cross browser compliant, is a web design that is repelling a large portion of your target audience.
No Apparent Purpose Of The Site
One of the things that made Google the most used search engine is because they knew why people were went to their site, and they gave it to them. The equation, give people value + make it easy for them = online success. Too many sites on the web have too much clutter on their website. Make your layout clean, your navigation intuitive and your content valuable.
Your Site Does Not Have Any Substance
If your traffic is not better off after visiting your site, your site probably has nothing of value. And if your site has nothing of value to your visitors, do you really think they are going to stay long or come back? Give them a reason to stay on your site, give them a reason to come back, and you can do this by putting value into your web design and content.
You Make Your Visitors Stand in Line
Your website is slow or it has an splash page (intro) to get to the actual content. Whatever it may be that is making your potential clients wait, it is not acceptable. Give them a first rate service, and please them with quick content and you’ll see them come back for more.
You Forgot to Put Design into Web Design
Form follows function, and if your website is for your business the function of your website is to make more money. If you focussed on how good your design looks, over a design that persuades your visitors to make a profitable action your running a risk. Your web design should tell a story about your company. But first you need to create a story that influences your audiences to do what you want them to, and then you need to tell that story through your web design.
