Are Your Reaching Your Customers Effectively?
Websites should be easy to navigate. It's one of the most basic principles of web design. When potential customers search for something they want or need on the internet, they expect to find it easily regardless of the type of device they are using. It's too bad that far too often, businesses are making it difficult for people to find the products or services they need, because of poor web design. Often times it's simply that their websites have become obsolete. As recently as five or six years ago, websites were still designed primarily for desktop computers. Within that time span and actually for at least a decade now, mobile devices have replaced computers as the primary source for web searches. More than 85% of web searches are conducted on mobile devices. I Phones and Android devices are the dominate web search tools for finding products and services.
That's why it is critical for businesses to move away from their decades old websites to one that was designed specifically to respond to this change in how consumers search now for what they need and want. Websites that were created more than 5 or 6 years ago, that were designed for computer searches, display text and graphics merely by shrinking down a computer display to the size of a mobile phone screen. No one can read the text or make out the graphics when that occurs. It's frustrating to the consumer, forcing them to try to manipulate the display on their phone to read the text. Most people aren't even willing to do that. They merely look for a better website. One that uses responsive design principles. Most people don't have time to fool around with the archaic websites they encounter. Those businesses lose potential clients daily, because they fail to recognize the significance of providing their audience a functional, legible and easy to navigate website.
If your website is more than 5 years old it's very likely that your website is among those that are frustrating potential clients. Especially if it wasn't designed to respond to the many types of displays that people use today to search the internet for goods and services. Websites must be designed to be easy to navigate and read, regardless whether they are being viewed on a mobile device, tablet or computer. Our creative team at Community Advertising LLC builds state-of-the-art responsive websites for our clients. We make sure that your customers and your potential customers, can easily navigate and read your website, so they can quickly find the products and services you offer. We know that if we can keep them happy, we can keep you happy!
