Do you think you don't have the time, energy or energy to find out what 'good web design' really is?

Good news ! - Because, then you only need to know two basic principles when it comes to building a good webdesign.

This is the second basic principle of 'good web design' :

II.) You have a maximum of 3 seconds !

... and, why that ?

- Answer: This is first of all because the Internet is a very, very volatile medium.

So, you have a maximum of 3 seconds available to convey the message on your website when people are visiting it.

This means that ´the attention span´ is a maximum of 3 seconds when a visitor visits your website. The attention span is the maximum time an average visitor spends on your website! spends on your website before he/she clicks away if he/she does not find what he/she expects. Or if he/she does not understand what he/she finds.

In other words, a visitor to your website spends a maximum of 3 seconds deciding whether what they find is understandable and relevant - or not ...

Because of that you have to convince the visitors they have arrived at a relevant website that fits their intention. That the site is real and not just one of the many scam sites out there, that it's trustworthy and easy to use. All of this in just 3 seconds.

Don't forget to think SEO in your webdesign

Another reason to have a good webdesign is to make sure that it's also SEO friendly. This means a design that the search engines can also understand and index. That you have the right title tags, meta tags, image tags and all the parts that are important when it comes to SEO.

Have focus on conversions

This is especially important if you are running a webshop. If you haven't made a webdesign that has focus on conversions you webshop simply won't sell. A good webdesign for e-commerce has call to actions, visible buttons, clear pricing and most important - looks trustworthy and professionel. Inexperienced webdesigners often overlook this part and build a website that might look nice, but can't really convert the visitors into paying customers.

UX and usability

Having a good website isn't just about having the right look. It's also about making it as easy as possible for your visitors to use your website and find that they are looking for. A good web design has focus on UX (user experience) and go to great length to make the website as userfriendly as possible.

Also - an important part of UX is having a lightning fast website, so that the visitors don't have to wait for pageloads and other delays.

There are of course many other aspects of webdesign, but these few things here should help give you an idea that web design isn't just something anyone can do. Especially if you got no experience with running a website or what it's all about. You might save a little money building your own webshop or website, but chances are you will be missing out on a lot of leads or sales if you choose to do so. Leave the webdesign to a professionel web agency and spend your time on the things you are good at instead.
