Intriguing facts you probably don’t know about Web design

Let me get you hooked to this article by saying number 9 will shock you. *laughs in malicious liar tone* Anyhoo on a real though this is going to help a lot of struggling web developers out there, perhaps even make some top-notch web designers get to the top of their game. Let’s stay optimistic darlings. I’m going to make this as informative and maybe fun as possible.

One of the best things about being in such a digital era is that anything technical has become simplified, including building a website. I know people that learned how to build whole websites from tutorials on YouTube and now they’re at the top of their game. The best part is it doesn’t even take that long to learn (based on your learning span and the abilities/skill of the teacher).

It has gotten to the point where creating a website is the easy part; the hard part is website optimization for the conversion of internet users. Lucky for you, that’s what I’m here to school you on today! Let’s cross our fingers that you’ll get very informative tips from this blog on how to subtly but significantly improve your website by looking into these pretty fascinating facts about web design.

Call to Action buttons are absent on 70% of home pages of websites

Take advantage of this situation by using catchy CTAs on your home page. This has been proven to expand the conversion rate which is definitely good for any business with a website. *Genius professor mode activated* lest you forget to use captivating phrases and punch lines that resonate with your target market so as to get them hitting that CTA button. And isn’t that what we all want to happen to our CTAs?

People are more trustful of content created by peers

“So what does this mean?” you may ask, it means that engaging your audience more in your website makes for a better user experience. “How am I supposed to do that?” you may ask again; create ways of letting internet users post content on your website. This can be through comments on blogs and forum posts. One of the great things about forum posting is that if it’s done correctly, it can definitely drive targeted traffic to a particular website. One of the advantages of this is that new minds can bring in fresh ideas and perspectives that could possibly add value to your website.

Emphasize personalized recommendations on your website

Cubicle Ninjas says “Conversion rate is improved by a factor of 5.5 when personalized recommendations are made” and I couldn’t agree more. It’s obvious why this does a great job in conversion; the internet user feels understood by a website when it personalizes, they also probably feel listened to and in addition, finding exactly what one wants makes life so much easier for everyone. Featured blog posts plus other content, customer testimonials and product suggestion section are just a few of the many ways to personalize a website for conversion. You could check out our product suggestion section to see what I’m talking about. *wink wink*

Create an outstanding blog section

According to Cubicle Ninjas 2.7 million blog posts are put online every day. Whew!! Just goes to show you how high the competition really is in this website ting. The trick here is simple, short and sweet; stand out! Define yourself and your niche, figure out how to stand out from the crowd and be different but valuable. One of the most effective ways to do this is to ensure to not reiterate content that has already been published by other individuals and websites. It gets boring when everyone says the same thing and has the same old perspective. So it’s up to you to change the narrative and create fresh content that’ll captivate readers.

A great way to stand out is your color theme

As you can clearly see, ours is a color theme you can recognize even in your sleep because how many design agencies out there use green and yellow as their color palate? Exactly! So do make sure to use an excellent color theme that’ll distinguish you from your competitors. It’s a great way to brand oneself, one’s website and company and as claimed by the geniuses over at Cubicle Ninjas “the color theme improves website recognition by 80%”. Can’t say they lied!

Another fun fact is this is just a drop in the ocean; the drop being this particular blog you just got done reading and the ocean being the multiple facts about web design that will definitely intrigue you.
