What makes a successful website?

From the list of most successful websites you would say that two aspects are important.  Firstly, access to relevant information. Secondly,  engaging content is what makes a website successful.  In fact, Google provides access to information easily and readily.  Subsequently, this information is relevant to what its audience is looking for.  In addition, YouTube and Facebook provide user generated content that is engaging and entertaining.

What else makes a successful website? In fact, there are a few factors that set some websites out from the rest:

  1. Fast load time.
  2. Easy to navigate.
  3. A clear description of what service you offer.
  4. Understandable contact information – phone number, address (with map), email address (linked).
  5. Validation like client reviews and testimonials.  This proves your worth and they trust you. 
  6. Ability to give feedback.
  7. Cyber Security to protect both parties.
  8. Clear call to actions.
  9. Offers and personalized deals.

How can you harness this for your website?

Make sure that when you plan for your website that you provide all the necessary information. For example, how to contact you and what services you offer.  In addition, all the information your customer needs about those services.  Moreover, make sure that the content is engaging and your website is well designed. 

UX (User Experience)

UX or User Experience is how the visitor to your website experiences the website.  In fact, they must have a great experience when visiting your website.  Thus, they must feel what you want them to feel about your brand. 

Questions you must ask yourself about your website:

  • Are visitors taken by the beautiful images and videos?  
  • Does the content excite and delight them? 
  • Do they walk away trusting you to deliver?
  • Did they find navigation easy?
  • Was the load time fast so they did not have to wait?

User Experienced Defined

User experience (UX) focuses on having a deep understanding of users, what they need, what they value, their abilities.  In addition, their limitations.  It also takes into account the business goals. Furthermore, UX best practices promote improving the quality of the user’s interaction with and perceptions of the product or service.
