Are you a successful brick and mortar business owner? Are you now thinking of competing with the industry giants on a global scale? Looking for the perfect opportunity to cash in on and boost your business sales? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this post is a must read for you!
If you are looking forward to giving your competition a run for their money, then it’s time to strengthen your online presence through a powerful, responsive and user-friendly website.
Why Businesses Need Customized Web Design?
The importance of customized web design cannot be denied. In the past, there have been several businesses that have lost their market share to new businesses just because of their poor online presence and web design with a 90’s look.
Business owners often don’t realize how browser compatible and visually appealing web design can become a ‘money maker’ for their business. They usually settle for cheap web design on WordPress just to save the cost of hiring a professional web design company without understanding how badly it will damage their business image!
Your Website Is a Giant Ad for Your Business
Your website is a giant ad for your business. Therefore, it should be unique, distinctive and engaging. This can only be achieved if you get your business website designed by a professional who has the expertise and dexterity to design a website that mirrors your business image seamlessly and communicates your brand message convincingly to your target audience.
Cheap web design with retro clip arts, comic san fonts and flashy random animation makes customers question the legitimacy of your business. And you don’t want your customers to go down that road!
Responsive Website
In today’s fast moving and competitive era, you need to reach out to the customers instead of waiting for the customers to come to you. People no longer wait to get home to make online purchases through their personal computers. They now browse, search, and purchase through their smartphones. This is an opportunity that can help give your business sales the boost you’ve been struggling to achieve the whole time. But if you think cheap web design can help you bank, then you couldn’t be more wrong. Such web designs are not responsive and cannot be displayed on mobile platforms. Alignments, menus and images are skewed and proportioned incorrectly which is a big turn off for potential customers. In such scenarios, it’s the customers who usually say goodbye to your website and go to your competitor instead.
For a browser compatible and mobile friendly website, you definitely need professional help.
Let’s take a look at the facts and advantages of getting a mobile friendly website:
According to mobile commerce shopping statistics, $8billion worth of retail purchases were made by the consumers in the US via smartphones in 2012. Also, statistics show that 71% of the smartphone users search for products online, 82% notice mobile ads and 74% make a purchase as a result.
The percentage of e-commerce sales is expected to increase every year. This is a golden opportunity for businesses to harness and boost their business sales.
Studies conducted by IBM show that approximately 24% of the consumers accessed online shopping sites using their smart phones during Black Friday and 16.3% of all online Black Friday sales were performed through mobile phones.
So what are you waiting for! Get in touch with a professional and hit the online world with a bang!
