Website Design- add value to your brand

Each business is unique and so each website should also be different. To get noticed your website, it is vital to design your website in such a manner that it reflects your work ethic, services and business model flawlessly. The design of your website is more important for conversions as this is the ideal mean to represent your product and services. These days website design no longer restricted to static layouts, it has become more interactive now. It ranges from simple transition effect to cool parallax scrolling to rich media presentation such as music, graphics and videos.

Nowadays, brands are dominant in the marketplace. When a business firm become successful in making a brand, it greatly helps in inward marketing. Clients are spending their prized money on branded products and services rather than spending on non-branded items as they trust on brands. Successful branding raises a product or firm from being just one commodity amongst many similar commodities, to become a unique and promising firm. Consumers go out of their way to share your brand with others. Consumers are ready to buy branded products or services without thinking twice irrespective of the price. Actually, brands have value entrenched in them.

These days, brands are not restricted to huge business companies worth billions of dollars. Small companies are also creating a brand as they are striving to engage prospective clients. Creating a website is the first step for building a brand.

Let’s discuss few ways to make your website to look interesting and appealing to add value to your brand-
First impression 

First impression is the last impression! Small things can develop customers’ trust on you. Sometime we ignore few elements like color, layout, logo etc. as they seem unexciting and insignificant, but in reality they are more appealing and grab the attention of viewers. Investing in small elements will aid you to make your website appear different and impressive.

To make your brand popular start with a catchy name, create a logo that is simple but attractive and clearly depicts the significance of your brand. The choice of colours, the position of buttons, the text alignment, graphics, images and the responsiveness of your website will create first impressions on viewers and force them to visit your website again.

Brands aid consumers to get the impressions of your products and services. While the logo, the graphics, and the overall appearance of your website determines first impressions. 

User friendliness 

Create the website for other not for self! Most of business organizations end up in building websites to show off how big or successful they are. They try to make impression by adding irrelevant details and information in their ‘About us’ section which results into multiple scrolls and almost looks like boring text. Such websites fails to grab the attention of users because of complex and un- interested information.

Focus on creating and maintaining a website for your readers, audiences or consumers! Keep in mind that website should be designed in a user friendly manner in order to make your brand popular. Don’t make it unexciting by adding excessive information about your company or services as customers have no interest in knowing such features. It is only your customers who come to you to buy your brand, so it doesn’t make any sense to build a website which has no attractive attributes. 

Simplicity 

Simplicity is the key of many successful websites to add value to your brands! Simplicity has a way of easing up things. This is what consumers are looking for. It has a way of getting things done in effective manner. Simplicity is nothing but effective content and some of the best designs. Try to avoid complicated stuff in your website as it can lower your chances of success.

If you are starting a small business company and are trying to make your brand well known in short span of time, then all you need to do is creating a simple and effective website. Add a couple of pages about your company, partners, services and offerings rather than adding unnecessary pages. 

Marketing story for connecting viewers 

Storytelling plays a significant part in connecting and engaging audiences. Your goal, values, vision, truth, and moral are the key elements to make a great impression on consumers. This is nothing but the power of storytelling. You need to convince, inspire, fascinate and motivate your audience.

In order to attract prospective consumers post the content regarding your brand and services regularly because content marketing can also help you. Your business has some specific purpose. Identify that purpose and share it on your website. Make it convenient for your users to know more about you and your company’s background.

These might look like small things but these little things really matter. Customers have low on patience. If once they leave, it is difficult to get them back.
