Finding Out WebHostingPad Discounts & Deals
I love a fab deal or discount, especially when it’s more beneficial than you expected. Because let’s be honest, if we can save cash in any way shape or form, we’ll take it. And life has become so expensive of late, or is it just me? I’m only shopping if I know there is some sort of sale going on, or a buy 1 get 1 free kind of vibe. Am I alone on this?
Shops and businesses need this strategy I think to not only keep foot traffic or online clicks ticking over but to entice, woo or ‘schmooze’-as my husband likes to say-new customers and potential clientele.
Brands are constantly evolving, upgrading or bringing out new products, so to reach new and different demographics it’s imperative to have a sparkly sales pitch and more importantly, website.
What is a well-designed website?

The main thing I’ve noticed that puts my mother off or some older folk is if the overall use and layout are too complicated. Less is more I always say to my kids in the supermarket mostly-but it applies here for sure. Simplicity is going to work far more effectively than a website customers’ end up struggling to navigate.
Color is another huge factor, we all know colors have their own ‘moods’ as it were, so choosing one that won’t put your customer to sleep would be key, and that will make them feel happy, get those endorphins rushing.
The font you use, the images and visuals all go hand in hand and can make or break your brands’ success. A well-designed site is a high point when related to referrals, if it’s not great to find items or services and clients leave feeling frustrated, they’re unlikely to visit again anytime soon never mind recommend you to their friends.
Lastly, being mobile-friendly is most probably a priority when trying to relate to today’s generation. Phones are glued to their hands as they travel, go to school or events, being able to browse while they wait could be all it takes to hook them and have them coming back.

Before you start hiring or looking to hire you need to have an idea of what you want to achieve, will it be focusing on the look of the site or the usability or simple design and more functional? Be clear of your needs and wants and when hiring the company have these written down to convey them.
