Can Web Design Build Customer Confidence?

Articles on Suffolk Web Site Designer Aug 2010

The internet and web sites provide many great benefits for business, community or personal presence within the local, regional or global field. But the one down side of a website can be that the people viewing your site do not know you,  may not be close to your location and so initially there is no trust. And this applies not only to people surfing the internet to find your web site but also to the search engines and robots crawling your web site.

There are various ways that trust can be built more quickly with a web site. With simple, fairly obvious strategies that need not involve expensive designs.

 Affordable website designer UK methods:

• A website designer can create a site that is easy for people to navigate and they feel secure using an easy, good looking website. People like to find all the features they expect, in a layout they can understand. Have you been to websites where you haven't know where to go next, or how to find something and ended up frustrated and try to find a better website that is easier to navigate. A good website is easy to use for everyone, not only the few 'techy' people that designed it.
• A web site that satisfied the criteria required of a good website and passes W3C standards. There are certain criteria set as standards to good web practise, and a website that meets these criteria is rated more highly on the internet. Although people may not visually appreciate these criteria.
• A web site that openly displays where it is located with contact details easily found, for telephone, email and address details. If a website is prepared to  display full contact details, it is likely to be trustworthy. A land line telephone number offers greater security than a mobile number, since a land line needs a permanent address.
• Make the content of the website original and informative. There are many web sites that offer little information despite claiming to be authorities on a topic or business or cause. Build user trust by giving information they may be looking for.
• Social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter can be used to help give added credence to your business.
• A website that ranks high in the search engines is also 'percieved as being more trustworthy and genuine'. UK Seo services, search engine optimisation can get your site ranked more highly but is not instant and may take 6 months before real effects are apparent.

A well designed, clean, uncluttered website can convey an image of security and trust. To find out more about our Website design Services please contact us at Website Design for a quote or to make an enquiry with our quick enquiry form.
