Having an effective website design is the key to increasing engagements and enhancing online presence. As a professional website design company, we understand that anyone can create a website, but what use is that website if it does not capture the user\u2019s attention? In this blog, we\u2019ll explore a few key strategies you can implement to create a compelling online experience for your users. These tips will help you increase website engagements which will in turn build brand awareness and brand loyalty, and increase revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding User Experience (UX)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A good UX considers the user’s wants and needs to ensure a positive experience when they visit your website. This will keep users browsing your website for a longer period, increasing their engagement rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step to a better user experience is website navigation. A seamless navigation will help users find what they are looking for more efficiently. If your users can\u2019t find what they are looking for in a few seconds, they are likely to leave which will increase your bounce rate, lower customer satisfaction, and you won’t get any engagements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with your main menu bar. Does it make sense from the user’s perspective? For example, if you are creating a website for your restaurant, your main menu bar should have easy access to your menu, restaurant location, and a link to reserve a table. If you have an e-commerce site, your main menu should have easy access to products, and cart for easy checkout.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how much content you have on your homepage and inner pages, consider adding a sticky menu so users can navigate the rest of your website while scrolling. The footer is another great way to enhance ease of navigation; you can add a section for quick links. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from navigation, layout, and visual design also have a huge impact on user experience and engagement. Keep the content concise and your call to action clear. When someone lands on your website, they should be able to find the information they are looking for in a matter of seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visually, use colours that are easy on the eyes and fonts that are easy to read. If your website is content-heavy, use visual breaks such as images, videos, and infographics to keep users engaged.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At GlobeSign, all of our custom web designs focus on enhancing user experience to drive engagement on your website.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile Responsiveness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Statista, 95.8% of people use mobile devices to browse the internet. With this increased reliance on mobile devices, having a mobile-responsive website allows you to engage a broader audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designing your website, make sure you opt for a responsive website design, which will render well on different screen sizes. A responsive website design uses fluid grid layouts that automatically adjust the alignment and proportions of all of the elements on your website based on the user\u2019s device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At GlobeSign, we only use responsive website designs. All of our website design services include mobile optimization to ensure you are not losing out on traffic coming in from mobile devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also important to remember that the mobile version of your website will have limited space compared to the desktop version. To reduce clutter, use short text that is easy to scan on smaller screens. If you must add more content, put the most important content at the top of the page and use collapsible sections so users don\u2019t have to keep scrolling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, make sure your website is touch-friendly. Mobile users should be able to browse your website without accidentally clicking on the wrong buttons. If users are not able to effectively explore your content and complete desired actions, they are likely to get frustrated and leave. The best practice is to ensure all links and buttons are at least 44×44 pixels wide. If you have multiple buttons next to each other, use padding to prevent accidental taps on the wrong button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website Speed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Website speed is critical in increasing user engagement. Users are more likely to stay and explore your website if it loads quickly. Improve website loading speed by reducing initial load time. This can be done by optimizing all photos and videos on your website. Use an image optimizer tool to reduce the file size of your mages without compromising on quality. Instead of embedding videos directly on your website, upload them on YouTube or Vimeo first and then add them to your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a lot of content on your website, implement lazy loading. Lazy loading means instead of loading all of the content on your website at once, it loads as you scroll through it. This also helps reduce initial load time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, try to reduce redirections on your website. Each redirection adds an HTTP request which delays page loading. Combat this by ensuring all internal links point directly to their final destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
