Website Footers: Are They Necessary? | Corona, CA

When designing a website, we become obsessed with filling it with content. We want everything on our site so potential clients can find us on the road to success. But what about the footer? Did you design a great footer? Although this area of your website may not be the most eye-catching area of your site, your visitors look for the footer in search of important information. Here are some tips:

Simplicity is best. When dealing with lots of information, keep it easy for your visitors to find the information they need.

Link up. Two of the most important links on your website are the contact and about us sections. When visitors land on your webpage, direct them to these pages.

Contact information. Besides including “Contact Us” into your footer, add your contact information, including physical address, emails address and phone number.

Keep it important. Your information should be divided in columns or rows and arranged by relevant important information like contact information, social media, links, etc.

Copyright it. Including a copyright notice is extremely important to your security and can save you from facing many problems. Include the copyright symbol, name of the copyright owner, and the year it was created.

Call to action. Add the extra nudge your visitors need to sign up for newsletters, subscribe to blogs, or to send an email requesting a quote.

Contrast and readability. Your footer is typically small in size and much of your info is kept in that small block. Color, brightness and contrast should also be taken into consideration.

Graphics. Add logos or graphic elements to draw the eye but be careful not to overdo the small space with too many elements.

Five Ways You Are Designing Your Website Wrong | Corona, CA

If there is anything we know, it is that trends are constantly changing. It doesn’t matter what category you stack it up against, every trend comes into our zeitgeist and leaves just about as quickly as it showed up. This said, it is important that you keep up with said trends to maintain and continue to grow your website traffic. It typically takes a visitor 10-20 seconds before they make up their mind about your website, and if not impressed, they’re gone. So, when designing your website, keep these outdated trends in mind:

Loading screens. No visitor wants to wait around for 15 seconds watching a loading screen just to get to the content they would like to view. If your site needs to load, you have too much going on and need to taper back the design content.

Auto-play video/music. Not only is auto-played video/music annoying to your visitor, but a distraction. If you require having some sort of audio or video on your website, give your visitors the freedom to listen or watch.

Pop-ups. Pop-ups that engage you to take a certain action or to subscribe to a blog, aren’t bad marketing tactics, as long as those pop-ups aren’t diverting your visitor’s attention elsewhere.

Flash sites. Flash is now a trend of the past, as most devices can’t read Flash. So, if your website is incorporating Flash, it’s time to redesign.

Stock photos. When it comes to stock footage, be particular. The photos you choose for your website can either make it, or break it.

Why Can’t I Keep My Website Visitor’s Attention? | Corona, CA

You’ve finally decided to invest in a website for your business. It is all designed to your specifications and has gone live. The problem is, attracting visitors to your website is one thing, but getting your visitors to stick around is another. You don’t only want visitors to take a look at your website and leave, you want your visitors to stick around and take a certain action. If you’ve noticed that your visitors are clicking that “back button” quite often, then maybe it’s time you realize there may be a problem with your website. The follow list includes five reasons why your visitors may be leaving your website:

Poor first impression. Your homepage is essentially the face of your business to the online world. When designing your website, make sure your home page is attractive, provides useful information, and of course has eye pleasing graphics.

Difficult navigation. We have all had a tough time figuring out how to navigate through a poorly designed website – keep it simple and organized.

Pop-ups. When it comes to marketing your business, a website is key to generating leads, but forcing visitor information as they click on your site is off-putting. Set these pop-ups should be at an appropriate time.

Auto-play videos. If you do have a video on your site, give your visitors the freedom to press play and watch it on their own time.

Confusing content. The font, text color and background will affect how well your visitors will be able to read and retain the content on your website.
