Why your website isn’t converting
There’s nothing worse than investing in a website that you love but yet doesn’t convert. The truth is your clients won’t actually tell you what they want or what they can’t use on your site they just leave. So how do you make sure your site is appealing and engaging to users?
When you are getting quotes for a website, especially for a custom project the web designers will throw questions at you that you probably hadn’t even thought of. So here are some things to help you prepare for your meeting.
I think it is fairly safe to say that in this day and age the majority of people have probably already had a website developed at some stage or we know someone who has been through this process. Some people seem to have a great experience, love their website and it really works for them. Whilst on the other hand, others have had a hard time really getting the end result they were after.
So, how can you make sure the process of getting your website designed is a smooth one?
If you want your business idea to succeed online it’s no secret picking the right web developers and the right web design company for your project is crucial. The tricky part is deciding what sort of company is going to suit you, are you looking for a big company with plenty of staff who can churn out a quick job or are you looking for a small agency where you will work one on one with a dedicated project manager?
Let’s face it, there’s just too many of us (web designers) out there! There are web designers, web developers, freelancers, web design companies, digital agencies and then there’s outsourcing overseas.
I will be honest, I don’t envy you if you are looking for a web designer, the choices are endless and it takes some planning to work out which option will be best for your project not only now but most importantly in the long haul.
For any small business investing in a new website or a redesign of your existing website can be a big investment so compiling a detailed brief will ensure you get the site you dreamed of without any extra unforeseen costs along the way.
There is a fair bit of info your web designer and developer will ask of you so this should help you to prepare!
