The Importance of A Good Design
Your website is the hub of your online business; it is the virtual
representation of your company whether your company exists physically or not.
When you are doing business online, people cannot see you physically like how
they could if they were dealing with an offline company. Hence, people do judge
you by your covers. This is where a good design comes in.
Imagine if you are running an offline company. Would you allow your salespersons
to be dressed in shabby or casual clothes when they are dealing with your
customers? By making your staff wear professionally, you are telling your
customers that you do care about quality. This works simply because first
impressions matter.
Similarly, the same case is with your website. If your website is put together
shabbily and looks like a 5 minute "quick fix", you are literally shouting to
your visitors that you are not professional and you do not care for quality.
On the opposite, if you have a totally professional looking website layout, you
are giving your visitors the perception that you have given meticulous attention
to every detail and you care about professionalism. You are organised, focused
and you really mean business.
On the other hand, you should also have anything related to your company well
designed. From business cards to letterheads to promotional brochures, every
little bit matters. This is because as you grow your business, these items
become the face of your business. Once again, think of the "salesperson dressed
shabbily" anology, and you will get my point.
