Itza Google-Sorted achieve this through a Website Brief READ MORE

2.Make content easy for users to digest

This is how we break up content into easy to read 1stAssociated.co.uk

4.Use Call to Actions such as Buy it Now

We always design and position Call to Actions to be clear, easy to see and easy to use take a look at some of our examples below with Calls to Action highlighted using red circles and ovals

5. Clear site navigation

Clear site navigation is of paramount importance to enable your visitor to move to appropriate pages of your site easily keeping them on your website for longer increasing the probability of taking action i.e. making a purchase, phoning or completing an online registration form
For example take a look at one of our websites SEE MORE

6. Make logo’s that are eye catching

Your company identity/branding/logo is obviously incredibly important and no doubt developed and refined over the years you have been in business. On a website researchers have found that the eye is naturally drawn to the top left corner of the screen and this is where your branding should be positioned.
Below is an example of an eye catching logo we have developed – the “heart” theme added to the website creates an ethos that the Building Surveyors “love” Listed Buildings as no doubt the owners or potential owners of Listed Buildings do and thereby creates a synergy between client and Surveyor.
The “heart” theme is then continued throughout the website to further endorse Listed Building Surveyors care about Listed Buildings.

9. Include a phone number when appropriate

A phone number helps with audience trust
A phone number is a “Call to Action” if that is the action you wish your website visitors to carry out. If so the phone number needs to be clear and appear on every web page.
Take a look at one of our websites 1stAssociated.co.uk and see if you can find a web page that does not have the free phone number!
The “Jury is Out” with regard to freephone numbers v landlines v mobiles – we have experience of testing and measuring these types of phone numbers and the demographic and traffic results across many different companies providing a diverse range of products and services.
Some companies however do not wish customers to phone and would rather they complete an online enquiry form, join to become a registered member and i.e. gather customer data first. These company websites, of course, therefore will often only include a phone number on a selected few pages and not predominantly on every page.

10. Try to include some pages with the Terms and Conditions of your business

Terms and Conditions again helps with audience trust.
This can appear as a web page and/or a downloadable document.
