AGE RESPONSIVE DESIGN

No matter the age group of your target audience, each generation will respond more actively to images and design that is particularly targeted towards them. This doesn’t mean your website needs to target one demographic, it’s more a case of marketing yourself using the correct images for all, whether this be through Social Media, Email and Newsletter marketing or general advertisements.

SKELETON SCREENS

Web speed is critical when you want to retain visitors that come to your site. If the page takes more than 6 seconds to load, the chances are your users will get impatient and will go to one of your competitors. Skeleton screens are a great way to keep your visitors occupied whilst the page loads.

ENGAGMENT BOTS

SHOPPING CART MARKETING

Let’s be honest if you were trialling a product that you had never used before, and you had recommendations of what other customers had bought, you’d be more inclined to visit the site again knowing that you don’t have to do loads of research to find the best option.

VIDEO TESTIMONIALS

These day’s it’s merely not enough to sell your products, you need some organic help. Customers trust the word of other customers over companies every time, and when you think about it we wouldn’t ever book a holiday, or purchase a product without reading the reviews first. Video Testimonials is a great way to indirectly market yourself through other customers.

HOMEPAGE RIP

Although you need to have an attractive home page full of activity, these days all focus had been directed at the landing pages. These will be the pages that convert your visitors as long as they have a highly engaging UX, and they can also find what they are looking for.

SCROLLING

Have you ever been on a website (particularly an ecommerce websites) that has a function that requires you to click “Next Page” to see the other products?Well, customers can find this way too time consuming, which is why most businesses tend to opt for a scrolling feature, so the customer can remain on one page, but can see all products.
