You have probably heard a lot about the importance of web design and you may be wondering what is so important about it. You may be thinking that if you have good content, who cares what your site looks like! Well, that kind of thinking can be less than helpful, even harmful to your online presence.
Here are some reasons why web design is important!
Your website’s design is your first impression to the world. It can be good or bad – professional or not. That choice is up to you.
If you were going to a networking event or conference where you were going to meet a lot of people in person, you would probably want to look nice and well groomed right? You wouldn’t show up with messy hair or rumpled clothes. You wouldn’t want people to think you were too lazy to get dressed. Why would you want people to think you were too lazy to create a good looking website?
Your website design can make me people stay on your site or leave your site in a hurry. Have you ever clicked on a site and ended up staying and reading blog post after blog post? On the other hand, have you ever clicked on a site and left after a few seconds. What you saw when you first clicked on that site had a lot of influence on your decision.
Your website design also helps to define your brand. It sends your message out to the world. You can have a message that intrigues people and makes them want to learn more or you can have a message that sends people into another direction.
Please don’t get me wrong! Your content is an important and integral part of your site, crucial even. But the first thing people will see is your design, the layout of your site. If your website design is friendly and inviting, people will stay and read the content.
However, if it's less than impressive, people won’t stay long enough to read any of your content and find out how you can help them!
As you can see, your website design is very important. It’s best to talk to a web design professional and let them help you make the important decisions about your site’s appearance. A pro will help you create the website of your dreams!
