Why Is Web Design Important to Your Business
does your business rely on your website?
When starting a business you probably dont even think about web design until later down the road, as there are often too many important decisions to make and this can become overwhelming and cause people to forget their website. Every business is different and will face its own challenges, especially over the first few formative years and this is when most businesses will either sink or swim. The biggest challenges over the first few years however are usually the same for most businesses. Winning new clients for your amazing new service is often a big one, cash flow and staffing also feature heavily in top challenges. Many new businesses will start life without a website initially because there isn’t a budget for it set out in the initial plan, it gets forgotten or they rely purely on social media.
When starting a business a website is crucial to your plans as it can provide fresh leads to your business in the first difficult years, it can establish credibility with clients and suppliers, it can also give you a showroom to showcase your goods and services to the world 24/7 and give you a chance to tell your story and impress potential customers.
If you think about the last time you needed a service or a product, what did you do?? Did you check the yellow pages? Did you look in the back of a local newspaper or flick through a free business directory? No .. chances are you googled it. Most people nowadays when looking for something will search for it online or ask for recommendations (usually online!). If you still think that your business doesn’t need a web presence then my services probably are not going to interest you much.
Even if your website is more than a few years old then it more than likely wont be mobile phone friendly. With over 60% of searches now happening on mobile phones, search engines such as google are looking for sites to be designed mobile first. This means that they look as good on mobile as they do on tablets and desktop computers.
