Here at Elegant Image Studios we understand that you want to pick the Website Design Company that’s right for you. Although, we pride ourselves in taking the best care of our clients and their businesses than any other firms on the market, we encourage you to do your research. There are few other industries where “you get what you pay for” so aptly applies. Reputable companies can’t even tell you exactly how much a site will cost to build until they discover from you exactly what you need. There will be base amounts for different types of sites gathered from experience, but like a custom home builder knows, your needs are specific to you and a good designer will know how to properly price your site so it doesn’t become a money pit for you.

If your small business is trying to leverage social media for marketing, you’re probably struggling to build a large, engaged audience. You’re not alone. Every 60 seconds there are 293,000 new posts and 136,000 new photos posted on Facebook alone. Businesses need to leverage every strategy and tactic they can to effectively market on social media. One of the most important strategies: investing in good design to amplify your content marketing strategy. Here are five proven ways good design can amplify your content marketing strategy. Good design is memorable Good design builds brand recognition Strong visuals perform better than text alone Good design effectively uses limited space Images attract more clicks, retweets, and likes Good design is memorable As we wrote in Why Good Design is More Important Than Ever for Your Business: People have a very short attention span. In fact, according to a Princeton University study, snap judgments count. The study found after seeing a face for only 1/10th of a second people formed opinions about that person. Judgments were made on attractiveness, likeability, and trustworthiness, and prolonged exposure to that face just reinforced the initial impression. With the incredible amount of content the average user encounters on social media, first impressions and snap judgments play an important role. Research has found the attention span of the average adult has dropped to a mere 8 seconds. When you have so little time to catch the attention of social media users, good design becomes even more critical. Good design builds brand recognition Colors, type, imagery, and layout contribute to the visual essence that makes up a brand. These things are also vital components of good design. Think about ways to incorporate elements from your brand in your content marketing. Whether it’s a splash of color, the use of your corporate typeface, or an element from your logo subtlety integrated into the background of an image, there are many ways you can add your brand in without overwhelming the content.

People remember visuals better than text Scientists have found that people’s ability to recall images is dramatically better than remembering text alone. They even coined a cool name for this phenomenon: the Picture Superiority Effect. Inc. magazine explains: It works like this: If you hear information delivered verbally, you are likely to remember about 10 percent of that information three days later. Add a picture, however, and your recall rate will soar to 65 percent. Put simply, visuals matter—a lot. “Human PSE is truly Olympian,” writes molecular biologist John Medina in Brain Rules. “Tests performed years ago showed that people could remember 2,500 pictures with at least 90 percent accuracy several days post-exposure, even though the subjects saw each picture for about 10 seconds. That kind of recall is even more critical when you consider the deluge of content people scroll through every day on social media. Incorporating images with good design is a powerful way to extend your brand. For example, if you’re showcasing your products on social media, be sure that you have strong packaging design (the physical packaging for your products) and package graphics (the graphics, including images and content, on the packaging) so that your products stand out. 74% of social media marketers use some visual asset in their post and marketing, and 37% of marketers said that visuals were their most important form of content. Only blogging rated higher. Good design effectively uses limited space According to recent studies, an incredible 80% of the time on social media is spent using mobile devices. This is a problem for communicating with customers and prospects because post and image sizes on many social media sites are quite small: Instagram posts are resized to 612 pixels by 612 pixels. Facebook and Twitter feed images end up just over 500 pixels wide. Good design can help boost your content when you’re working with a limited amount of space. How something is organized visually and how well it’s perceived is primarily informed by psychology and how our brains interpret what we see. Less can be more. Good design encourages sharing Marketing studies reveal a staggering statistic: the average American is exposed to around 5,000 advertisements and brands per day. Only twelve ads leave an impression. Want to be like those twelve impressive, spotlight-stealing brands? You need a practical, attractive design. When consumers are faced with deciding between a wide array of choices – all things with similar features or benefits – they go with the one that they either recognize or the one that has a more pleasing design. For example, images attract more clicks, retweets, and likes According to research conducted by Buffer (a social media tool we use and like), tweets with images received 150% more retweets than those without any images. Customers aren’t the only ones that agree good design helps companies on social media platforms. 60.8% of marketers said that in 2017,the design was essential to their marketing strategies. 93% agreed that it was very important. By leveraging good design, you can ensure that your content marketing efforts won’t be another momentary blip in your customers’ endless social media stream.

This is not your standard travel website. The owners of Ready, Set, Travel want a travel site with a personal touch. Most travel websites cause an overwhelming feeling when you visit the site and a person can spend hours just trying to decide on destinations not to mention travel dates available. Many people do not even know about some of the more local destinations that they are missing in their own backyards. So, Ready, Set, Travel was created. The owners wanted fun fonts with fun colors to match their logo. They also asked for easy navigating.
We’ve all heard the old cliche – less is more. But, is it really true? When it comes to web design, the answer is yes. Simple website design offers benefits that more complex websites can’t match. While you may like the look of elaborate designs, when designing for function simplicity will win out every time. Digital marketing expert Neil Patel points out: Far too often I see websites try to jam too much information into a very small space. The navigation is confusing, and it’s overwhelming for anyone viewing the site. If this is starting to sound like the layout of your website, it could be the reason why your conversion rates are unsatisfactory. Even if you don’t think your design is too cluttered, there’s always room for improvement. Taking the time to streamline your website will create a better user experience and serve your business better. Here are 5 important benefits of simple website designs: Simple websites convert better. Simple web designs load faster. Simple designs are more mobile-friendly. Simple websites cost less. Simple websites reduce user friction. Let’s take a look at each of these benefits to see how you can make it work on your business website. Simple Websites Convert Better. The website landing page is a specific type of webpage whose entire purpose is to convert. The golden rule of designing a landing page that converts well? Keep it simple. Simple design makes it easy to draw the viewer’s eye to the most important area of the page – and, if you’re looking for conversions, that’s your call to action. Navigating a cluttered interface is no fun. It can be confusing, overwhelming and frustrating. And, it makes it harder for users to find and complete a call to action. Here are two easy ways to simplify your web design to improve conversions… Limit Your Menu Options It can be tempting to show your audience everything you have to offer right off the bat. But, that may not be the best choice. You want your website to be informative and user-friendly. But, offering too many navigation options is more likely to overwhelm your viewers than it is to help them. You’ll see conversions increase if you limit your menu options to just the essentials. A menu full of intriguing destinations on your website many entice viewers to click in deeper before they have a chance to act on the call to action right in front of them. Conversely, users may be paralyzed by a wealth of menu options and subsequently click away entirely if they don’t see what they want right away. The more menu options are present (and the more information your viewers have to sift through), the more decisions they have to make. And, decision fatigue is a real threat to your conversions. Psychologist Barry Schwartz, the author of The Paradox of Choice, points out: The more options we have, the less likely we are to make a choice because we’re paralyzed [with indecision]; or, if we overcome paralysis and make a choice, we tend to be less satisfied with our choice later. The bar [for obtaining satisfaction] rises with the more options people have to choose from. Make life easier for your audience by giving them as few navigation decisions to make as possible. And make sure the decisions they do have to make really count. Focus Attention on Your Call to Action The more opportunities you provide on your website to buy something, sign up for emails, or subscribe to your blog, the better… Right? Wrong. Pulling your viewer’s focus in too many directions at once will decrease the likelihood that they will actually act on any of those opportunities. (Decision fatigue – remember?) Simplify your web page and increase your conversions by eliminating anything that may draw focus from your call to action. In fact, go one step further, by using the design elements to guide the eye directly to the CTA. If you’re aiming for strong conversions, make your call to action the primary focus of your webpage. You should, of course, feel free to promote multiple offers on your website. But, limit each offer to its own page so that it can get the attention it truly deserves. Simple Website Designs Load Faster. Website load speeds are vitally important to the user experience; and, as a result, to your business. Did you know that viewers start abandoning your website after mere seconds of load time? Between seconds 4 and 5 of your website’s load time, 20% of viewers have already left your site. The number only increases from there. And, not only that, search engines take your website’s load time into consideration when calculating your ranking. A faster load time means a higher placement in the search engine results. If you want to optimize your website for speed – which you should – complex web designs are the enemy. So, pare back complex graphics. Simplify elaborate layouts. Minimize your photos and graphics to speed up load times. Trim your copy and compress your video files. Faster load times keep viewers around longer, create a better user experience, and increase the likelihood that viewers will even find your website in the first place. Simple Designs Are More Mobile-Friendly. As of 2017, 63% of all web traffic took place on mobile devices. This means that how your website looks on mobile is just as important – if not more so – than how it looks on a laptop or desktop computer. Simple web design is easier to translate into a small mobile screen than a busy, visually complex design. This may be one of the most compelling benefits of simple design – with so much web traffic via mobile, creating ease-of-use for mobile users is a no-brainer. Sure, you could maintain two websites – one for desktop and one for mobile. But, that requires twice as much work. It’s far better to have one simple responsive design that can easily transition from laptop to phone to tablet while maintaining the design’s integrity. With fewer moving pieces to juggle, simple websites with limited design elements are just naturally more flexible.
Website design is a versatile and ever-changing field. Website designers must keep up with industry news, brush up on their skills, and evolve their style to execute the latest design trends.
