The principles of effective Website Design

Picture your website as being like a cafe window- prospective customers want to be able to take a quick look inside and see information such as opening hours and a menu. If information is difficult to find by a quick scan, they’ll likely just carry on walking. So, how can your ‘shop front’ on the internet attract and entice as many prospective customers as possible?

Speed and functionality:

How fast your website loads is the first hurdle; around 50% of web users will leave a website if it doesn’t load in around 3 seconds. Slow and steady doesn’t win the race on this one.

Navigation:

You need to make sure your potential customer can find exactly what they are looking for in as little time as possible, this means a clearly signposted navigation menu and search bar.

Responsiveness:

Your site needs to display and work correctly across a range of devices, be it mobile, tablet or laptop. A laggy page on mobile will turn off prospective clients instantly.

Simple, consistent design:

Less is definitely more when it comes to design. Visitors are likely to feel overwhelmed by bright colours, lots of images and text.
