Helping You Create Professional Looking Websites


by Casey Trillbar

Some people think there is no need to pay a lot of attention to creating an effective website. They take websites as a place to display some of their products. What they fail to realize is that websites can make or break a business because they have the power to turn a visitor into a buyer. If you don't see your website performing impressively for you, this may be because it's not designed professionally. Check following points and correct all mistakes to make it perform better.

• One important point you need to bear in mind is that if you rely too much on Flash, you will end up sacrificing the quality of your website. Since Flash graphics take more time to load, it becomes quite frustrating for visitors to wait until everything is done. Make sure you avoid using Flash and rely on static graphics to make your site look professional.

• Another important point is to keep yourself from add too many badges. If you clutter your site with badges of networks, you will never leave a good impression on your visitors. Even if you want some of your recognition badges or awards to be listed on your website, make sure you have a separate page for it.

• When building a website, you need to understand that there is nothing more unprofessional than having no contact details. Your website is to impress your visitors. It convinces users to place their trust in you, but they leave your website when they don't see any contact information available on your site. Make sure you don't commit this mistake, or else you will find yourself website doing nothing for you.

• Using wrong fonts and text can make your site look unprofessional. You should never use fancy fonts because they are difficult to read. Similarly, you should avoid using blinking text, which has already gone out of fashion.

• In order to make your site look more professional, you should also pay attention to adding a Search button. Your visitor should be able to search the whole website with ease. This become even important when you have several products listed on your website. It is extremely unprofessional to leave your visitors with tons of products without offering any help to find what they want.

• Another common mistake that can make your website look unprofessional is using drop down menus. Though it saves space and gives an uncluttered look to your website, it also affects its usability. You need to ensure that visitors can see all navigation options, as this keeps confusion out of the picture.

These common issues give the impression that the website is not created professionally. This is something that affects your credibility, which in turn keeps you from running your business successfully. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you don't commit these mistakes and create a site that helps your business grow in the right way.
