These days, it’s incredibly important for a business to have a website. While social media platforms help raise brand awareness, nothing beats a custom-made website or web app that cradles everything your business is about. From the products and services you offer to the history and vision your venture stands for, owning a little corner of the internet is crucial in legitimizing your brand.
But as with many digital projects, it isn’t enough that you have a site or app. It’s equally important that your internet home articulates, very efficiently, your brand identity. Naturally, you’ll also want to be concerned with how accessible and easy to use your site or app is.
Here are a few tips for creating a stunning business website or web app:
Look for a reliable no-code platform or a credible app development agency
There are hundreds of no-code website hosting platforms that let you create engaging websites or apps on the fly, so be careful which provider you turn to. Often, these web hosts require that you stick with them for at least a year. This pricing strategy is apparent as yearly rates are often much, much cheaper than monthly billing dues.
That said, read reviews and gauge how receptive their customer service teams are. When you run an ecommerce business, how strong your site performs can dictate how much your business earns. The last thing you’d want is for you to put out as many products as possible only for them to crash and remain accessible to loyal customers.
Look for hosting sites that offer engaging and customizable templates.
If this sounds like a lot to you, you can always turn to no-code development agencies for your website or web app needs. For instance, here at MVP.dev, we make sure that the applications and MVPs we build for our clients aren’t just functional, but visually appealing too. We strive to guarantee that our clients’ target audience encounters a stellar user experience with whatever we create.
All that mentioned, the provider and the agency you rely on are crucial in the success of your online projects—if not the entirety of your business.
Make sure your website or web app has a thorough business description
Our attention span as human beings is shorter than that of goldfish, and that’s a fact. So unless you’re paying someone to review your website, you can bet that those who visit your site won’t be there for too long unless they’re shopping or are completely engaged. Because of that, you’ll want to ensure that your site or app has a good description of what your organization is about.
What do you sell? What are your services? What are your values? Who do you employ? What does your business advocate for?
The answers to these questions are critical in making a deep connection with the people you want to win over. As such, you’ll need stellar copywriting services and descriptions at all the best spots of your site or app.
Of course, pictures that accompany these messages will also be just as crucial. From your “about us” tab to your “services” and “contact us” pages, you’ll want to make sure that you effectively articulate and illustrate what your business is capable of doing.
Keep putting out quality content
You’ll be surprised how content marketing is a colossal factor in fortifying client relationships and a reliable customer base. Whether it’s relevant blog posts or witty tweets and cute pictures, keep putting out content that speaks to your audience.
This strategy benefits search engine optimization (SEO) efforts, too, giving your website a strong fighting chance to rank highly on Google, Yahoo, and others. Remember: the goal isn’t just to create a stunning website or web app, it’s to create a stunning website or web app that’s so insanely impactful that your customers keep coming back to check for updates or new uploads.
Hire awesome writers or capable marketing teams, if you must. If this isn’t in your budget, then regularly supplementing your site or app with interesting pictures or short stories provided by you should suffice.
It’s normal for entrepreneurs to forget that, when establishing a business, you’re not just there to sell products and services—you’re there to build a community.
