The way you design your web site affects your visitors’ online experience. As each visitor to your site is a potential customer, easier they find your web site to use and more they enjoy being on it, higher chance that they will make a purchase. Therefore, a well designed web site really CAN boost your sales!
In this article I’ll share my five favorite web design tips to help you increase your online sales.
Tip 1: Choose Your Colors Carefully
The colors that you use will determine how your web site comes across to your visitors. Dull colors will make your site seem plain and boring whilst overly bright colors can make it seem chaotic and unprofessional.
Red and Yellow draws eye in. Therefore it can be a good idea to use these colors for banners and adverts that you want your visitors to focus on. However, use these colors sparingly because they cause eye strain which means that visitors won’t want to look at your web site for long periods of time.
Tip 2: Avoid Slow Loading Web Pages
The amount of time that your site takes to download is critical. If it takes too long to download, you’ll lose potential customers who can‘t be bothered to wait.
There are things you can do to speed up how long your site takes to download. Images and media are worst culprits when it comes to slowing down your loading time. I advise you to avoid using any kind of multimedia on your web site and if you want to use images, try and keep them small and to a minimum.
