How does your web design stack up?

As more businesses invest in building an effective online presence, the competition is heating up. Here’s a short checklist of five web design “musts” that will help ensure your site stands out from the crowd.

Does your web design feature easy navigation?

Can your first time visitors immediately figure out how to navigate through your site? What if they enter your site through something other than the home page?

Can your visitors read your content without straining?  

Don't let the pursuit of an elegant design get in the way of how easy it is to read the words on the screen.

Will your visitors want to read that content?

The phrase 'content is king' gets over-used but the message can’t be ignored. No matter how great a site looks, visitors will not stick around if the content is poor or full of hype.
It should be easy for a visitor to contact the owner of a site, or to find out more about them through a well-placed 'Contact Us' link.

How easily can your visitors contact you?

It should be easy for a visitor to contact the owner of a site, or to find out more about them through a well-placed 'Contact Us' link.

Does your site mesh with your visitors’ expectations?

After several years now of using the Internet, your website visitors have certain expectations about how your website should behave. While some elements of surprise will show off your innovative and creative side, you don’t want your visitors to find your site confusing to use. For example, most visitors will expect to be returned to your Home page if they click your logo or site name. Make sure your visitors’ experience on your site is seamless.

It’s easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees when you’re building your online presence. Want an expert assessment of how your site’s doing with these 5 web design musts? Just ask Splash!
