As you know a bad first impression can be very hard to recover from. Whether it be in your personal life, professional life, or for your business it doesn’t matter recovering from a bad first impression can be a very long road. This is why it is so important to hire the right Arizona web design firm because they won’t make the mistakes that an outsourced or an inexperienced web design company tends to make. I have noticed some key mistakes that companies make on their websites that tend to frustrate visitors and may make it to where they never comeback. It is hard enough to get visitors to your website so why go and lose them just because of a bad Arizona web design team?
- Page Load Time – The days of dial up are over. People are becoming less and less patient. Nobody wants to wait 20 or 30 seconds for your website to load and will likely leave the page before it even loads.
- No Mobile Compatibility – As I have mentioned in prior blogs mobile devices are quickly becoming the new way people surf the web. If you don’t have a mobile website or a responsive web design then your website will look broken to the mobile device users. Even though you have a nice website somebody using a mobile device won’t be able to tell which will create a bad first impression. First impressions are not always fair.
- Testing – Many amateur Arizona web design companies don’t fully test your website prior to making it live. This can be critical because you are leaving it to your customers to find the mistakes. Imagine how much business you could lose if your contact form didn’t get sent anywhere. Your customers would be waiting for a call and would never receive one. This would be a horrible first impression for a customer to have of your business.
- SEO Obsession – SEO is a great tool and every website should run an SEO campaign but that being said try to comply by the rules. You will run into the websites that are just stuffed with keywords everywhere that you can’t even read their content. I really don’t understand what these websites are attempting to accomplish because not only will they eventually be punished by the search engines but also will leave a bad impression with visitors to the website.
- Audio – Many people believe because they like a particular song or beat that their visitors are going to like it as well so they put audio on their website that automatically begins to play when a visitor comes to the website. This can be extremely annoying to some visitors and may cause them to leave your page simply to get the audio to stop playing.
Now hopefully you can see the importance of a good first impression and how your choice of an Arizona web design company can make a huge difference as to how your company is viewed.
