Why do I need a website?
In today’s world, having an online presence is just as important as having a car. Websites are what drive businesses’ traffic and a brand’s popularity. This generation demands a high pace lifestyle and is constantly changing.
This is because technology has launched many opportunities and has created an easy path for people to connect and share information. Taking advantage of this change, allows you to connect with thousands of like-minded people around the world and share what you have to offer.
This is why websites are so resourceful. If you are in the restaurant business, for example, a customer might want to see your location or what food you offer. What better way to show this information than a website? Not only do websites allow you to show your products or service they can also create better trust and reviews from customers and clients.
Benefits of a Website
When it comes to the benefits of having a website, there are 3 purposes they serve.
1. Awareness
2. Sales
3. Information
1. Awareness
If you are making a website for your business, brand awareness and visibility would be a big step in your marketing plan. Or maybe you want to share information in a blog post.
Sharing this information on a website is creating awareness about a topic or story.
2. Sales
Websites make selling digital or physical products or services so much easier. Many businesses or eCommerce shops use websites to sell products and ship goods to customers.
3. Information
Sharing information on the internet whether it be a tutorial or news, allows people to easily share and find answers to their questions. Websites can hold lots of valuable information for viewers if designed right.
These are just a few benefits of having a website, Flux Academy shares a more in-depth look at these 3 purposes of a website in an article written by Monica Galvan….see the article for more info. What Is The Purpose of Your Website?
How To Create a Great looking Website!
Now that we know the purpose and need for a website, how do we go about creating a useful website to bring in traffic and share information? Well, it starts with finding a purpose for your website and how it looks from a viewer’s perspective and those visiting your web page.
The layout
Nothing is more confusing than clicking on a website and seeing a crazy mess of links, pictures, and ads.
When visitors or potential customers come to a website they are usually searching for answers or information about a service. Good websites have a clean layout with a user-friendly experience. Part of creating a good-looking website is to put yourself into the visitors’ shoes and see what the purpose of the website brings to the viewer. Once you can see a purpose for your website and how it contributes to others, then you are on the right track.
The Vision
One thing I have seen in my experience as a web developer and have used as a tactic for my business is quality over quantity, having a well-designed website doesn’t mean you have to have every single button or flashy picture to keep visitors interested. Simplicity is key, especially when it comes to the layout of websites. Too much commotion and information can make it hard for users to find the information they need or understand your goal for your website.
