We can help you fix it, feel free to book a meeting!
No Search Engine Optimisation
Here is another statistic to warm your coffee: the first page of Google receives 95% of website traffic. If your coffee still hasn’t kicked in yet, this means that if your website is not on the first page of Google, then you aren’t featuring on your customers’ radar.
Basically, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the practice of improving a website to increase the number of visitors the site receives from search engines. There are many aspects to SEO, from the words and elements on your page (on-page SEO) to the way other sites link back to your website (off-page SEO).
Loading Times And How Many Clicks On The Website
Website loading time is very important to both users and Search Engines. So much so that if your website takes more than 5 seconds to load, you could be losing more than half of your visitors.
It makes complete sense – people are usually time-strapped, so the faster you can provide them with the info they need, the gladder they are. That to be said, you have 7 clicks on the website for a person to find that they need.
Search Engines promote websites that have faster loading times for exactly this purpose – you are improving the user experience.
Poor Design
Bad vs Good Website Design factors that can make or break a website are Visual Design and Usability.
Visual Design is the overall artistic and style of the website. More than 90% of buying decisions are influenced by colour alone! If your website has a clean, professional design it leaves a great first impression on visitors and they will be more inclined to use your services.
Usability refers to how easy it is for a visitor to use the website. Is the navigation easy to use? Are your contact details readily available? You might have a beautifully creative web design, but your visitors can’t find what they are looking for and so they get frustrated & leave.
No Call To Action
The best way of getting anyone to do something is to ask them to do it. This might sound like common sense. You would be shocked at how many business websites fail to do this one simple thing.
Whilst design & usability make for good website design, to us, a website is useless if it does not achieve objectives! Knowing what it is you want your website to do, will guide your design process in the right direction from the start.
The ultimate goal of your website is to get visitors to perform an action – purchase a product, complete an enquiry form, subscribe to a newsletter, download an eBook. Whatever the action is that you want them to perform, you have to tell them to do it.
Not Mobile Friendly
If your website is not “mobile friendly” i.e. it does not adjust automatically to fit the device it is being viewed on, then you are losing business.
Statistics show that in 2020 there will be 2.2 billion people using smartphones. And since we are throwing around statistics, here’s another one: in 2017 mobile devices were responsible for over 50.7% of all website traffic generated.
This is how people browse the internet. It’s Quicker to search for places or something that you need on your mobile device than to wait to be sitting in front of the Computer to search for something.
Search Engines prefer websites that are mobile friendly – because it improves the user’s browsing experience.
