Importance of Professional Website Design

Importance of Having a Professionally Designed Website

Nowadays, websites have become so common and almost all the major companies and businesses are having their own website. The success of the business is mainly influenced by the websites and as a result companies give importance in getting the best designed websites for their business. As the numbers of internet users are rising rapidly, most of the sales and transactions are done online, and people look on the internet for purchasing products or services for different purposes.

Since majority of the users and customers have turned online, having a business website of your company would surely assist you in getting more sales and revenues. Websites helps to spread information to the online customers about your company, its services, products, address etc. and this would in turn boost your business.

Getting a website for your company is not a big issue as a large number of web design companies and agencies are there for your help. There are also a good number of freelancers who offers web design and development services. Due to the increased number of web design agencies and firms, the competition would also expect to be too high. Majority of the medium level companies are only capable of providing average looking websites and you may be lucky to get some online visitors on the website. You should always be selective enough in getting the best creative web design company for your website.

Due to the large number of web design agencies, a lot of websites are of low quality standards whose design patterns are not at all in line with the latest trends. The design and layout are pathetic in such a way that a customer who visits your website would never think of coming back to the website again. So if you want to make the visitor revisit your website, then your website needs to have that kind of attractive design and layout which prompts the visitors to come back. Unless improving the look and feel of your website you cannot expect any increase in your business from the website and your business may surely take a back seat.

So if you are really serious about having a website for your company or business, then try to make it professional, attractive and as neat as possible. This would help the visitors to get educated more about the services and products of your company and would also in turn boost your overall sales and revenue. Never go for website design agencies that offer websites at low costs because you would never be getting a neat and professional looking website at cheap cost. If you are open to spend a little more money, you would not find it hard to get a professionally looking world class website.

There are a large number of creative web design agency or firms available and you have to make sure that the creative website design company is reputed and capable of providing a world class professional website for your business. A website that looks professional would also help you in improving the overall branding of your company. So it is pretty clear that you should never compromise on the look and quality of your business website at any cost.

Why You Need A Mobile Website

Why do you need a mobile website?

Today, with the advancements in mobile technology and the increased availability of Wifi/3G/4G networks, surfing the web using mobile devices has become an normal sight the world over. Whether in North America, Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa or South America, you can easily spot locals catching the latest news, watching cat videos or social networking using smartphones or tablets

For many around the globe, who mostly just want to go online, it’s more economical and practical to buy a smartphone or tablet than to buy a desktop machine. The equation is simple: Mobile devices cost substantially less, and Wifi or 3G/4G networks are readily available for reasonable rates.

Along with this shift in device distribution, the nature of online activity has also evolved. Due to devices’ miniscule screen sizes (between 4 to 5 inches on smartphones) and limited hardware resources (weaker processor chip and graphics card), mobile device owners are more selective with the sites they choose to frequent. Sites that perform nicely on devices and give mobile users the most comfortable experience, benefit from the most traffic. The sites that aren’t are abandoned very quickly by users.

Basically, in order for a site owner to keep their visitors satisfied and coming back for more, their site must perform smoothly on devices and be displayed in an easy-to-view manner.

Here are some findings which might give you something to think about:

According to Compuware (July 2011), 71% of global mobile web users expect websites to load as quickly, almost as quickly, or faster, on their mobile phone compared to the computer they use at home.

Cisco (2012) forecasts that by the end of 2013, the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the number of people on earth, and by 2017 there will be nearly 1.4 mobile devices per capita.

The ITU (February 2010) expects mobile Web access – via laptops and smart mobile devices – to overtake desktop Web within the next five years.

Strategy Analytics (March 2010) estimates that at the end of 2009 almost 530 million users browsed the mobile Web on their handset. This is forecast to rise to over 1 billion by 2015.*

Four out of five US smartphone owners, use phone to help with shopping, according to Google/Ipsos (April 2011). A survey of 5013 US smartphone owners. *

For every shopping activity, including researching products and prices, reviews, promotions and purchasing products, most respondents (61-81%) [US consumers] preferred browser to native app.

In order to stand out and be competitive in this newly emerging reality you’d need to be able to reach out to the millions of mobile users out there, many of whom are not in the possession of a PC and can only access the web from their mobile devices. You can do so, by creating an optimized-for-mobile site for your business or organization.

Essentially the term was used in Responsive Web Design, an article by Ethan Marcotte on A List Apart. In general, the article proposed addressing the ever-changing landscape of devices, browsers, screen sizes and orientations by creating flexible, fluid and adaptive Web sites. Instead of responding to today’s needs for a desktop Web version adapted to the most common screen resolution, along with a particular mobile version (often specific to a single mobile device), the idea is to approach the issue the other way around: use flexible and fluid layouts that adapt to almost any screen.

Responsive websites are those crafted to use W3C CSS3 media queries with fluid grids and commonly also fluid images, to adapt the layout to the viewing environment. The idea of responsive web design is to make websites that fit multiple screen sizes. For the designer and developer that means they only have to work on one version of the website instead of designing one for desktop computers and another for mobile devices. Fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries are the three technical ingredients for responsive web design, but it also requires a different way of thinking.

Core Concepts
Three key technical features are the heart of responsive Web design:

1. Media queries and media query listeners.
2. A flexible grid-based layout that uses relative sizing.
3. Flexible images and media, through dynamic resizing or CSS

Truly responsive Web design requires all three features to be implemented.

The key point is adapting to the user’s needs and device capabilities. Suppose a mobile user will be viewing your site on a small screen. Taking the user’s needs into account doesn’t just mean adapting your content to the screen size. It also means thinking about what that mobile user will require first when visiting your site and then laying out the content accordingly. Maybe you’ll present the information in a different order. Don’t assume the user won’t need access to all the site information because she’s on a mobile device. You might need to change the fonts or interaction areas to respond better to a touch environment. All these factors influence responsive Web design.

While mobile devices are changing the display landscape, with the appearance of more and more small screens, don’t forget what’s happening at the other end of the spectrum. Displays are also getting larger and with higher resolution. Having to serve both segments shouldn’t stop designers from being innovative on either.

Responsive Web Design or Adaptive Design has evolved from being a strong trend to become a reality of the web today. In a world that has been conquered by mobile devices over the past two decades, no one now understands a website that cannot be viewed on different screen resolutions, or at the very least the minimum provided on smartphones and tablets. The latest surveys on internet use in many countries no longer make a point of discussing the use of these portable devices because they are a reality: connections to the internet from these devices has grown exponentially over recent years.

If you have not updated we recommend you do. If you do not know this web design technique already we recommend you study, research and learn about it. Make sure your website displays correctly with mobile devices. Use a responsive website design that adapts to any device, create a separate mobile site, or use mobile web development tools to optimize your current site.
