The internet has been our go-to for everything, may it be for leisure or work. On average, an adult spends 6 hours a day on digital media. With this being the trend for the past couple of years, people are now becoming conscious. They are starting to realize the impact of too much internet exposure on their health and lives, in general - hence, evaluating their lifestyle and limiting their internet usage.
As users spend less time online, businesses like yours must keep up and make the most out of your limited time with your audience. To do so, increase your site’s usability with these 8 basic, yet, oftentimes mislooked website features:
Engaging landing page
Your landing page is what people see first when they click your site. The chances of users staying on your website and soon making a conversion highly depends on how well-written and engaging your landing page is.
Also, a well-designed landing page is great for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as search engines take it to account when choosing which results to prioritize.
Mobile responsive
Since more and more people are accessing the internet via smartphones and tablets, it is essential to have a website that is responsive and looks good on all devices. If not, you run the risk of losing visitors who visit your website on mobile or tablet devices.
Easy to use and navigate
If your website is simple to use and navigate, visitors will spend more time on it, which means more chances of them making a conversion. A lot of people may give up and not engage with your business if your site is difficult to use. To further assist your visitors in locating specific information, use logical category names like "contact," "blog," and "home."
Visible contact information
Your contact information is the most important page on your site. Without it, potential customers won't know how to get in touch with you to ask questions or come by your office or shop. Update your contact information when you make changes. If possible, make it clickable so it would be much easier for your potential customers to call or email you.
Includes a feedback section
Having a feedback section is a great way to conduct market research and learn what your customers like and dislike about your business in order to make improvements. It also gives them the opportunity to ask any questions they may have, which increases customer satisfaction and reduces the number of dissatisfied customers you may have. It also gives the impression that your business is more trustworthy and cares about what your customers think.
Has social media links
It's a smart idea to integrate your social media accounts with your website to help you grow your following on these platforms. This way, you can keep your followers up to date on any news and get more business. Social media integration is also great for SEO because it encourages more external websites to link to your content, increasing your authority with search engines.
Good security
In order to guarantee and reassure your customers that any personal information they provide you with will be protected, it is essential to have tight security especially if you are selling anything online. Purchase an SSL Certificate to encrypt your customer communications and safeguard them against identity theft.
Have a blog page
A blog page is a great way to attract new customers and increase lead generation. Writing interesting articles about your business can spark curiosity in your products or services and make them more likely to click on your website and buy from you. Also, blogs are content that is easy to share, especially on social media. This makes it possible to get a lot of backlinks to your website, which can help you get more business and make search engines think your website is a reliable source.
