Maybe we’re bias but we think high-quality web design is essential for any business. Web design isn’t all about aesthetics, it has to be functional! What’s the point of adding all the bells and whistles if your site fails to attract customers and increase sales?
Your Design Matters, and so Does Your Content
Do yourself a favor and build a website that resonates with your target audience. Consumers say that web design elements are among the top factors they consider when deciding whether to trust a website or not. A website that is outdated, too busy, too many pop-ups, boring or has slow load times is a major deterrent.
Bettering Your Branding Strategy
Your website should serve as an extension of your brand. If you have a physical location, make sure that the characteristic branding elements remain consistent on the website including the logo, colors, and font. Even your communication style should be the same across all online marketing platforms you use. This makes your business more consistent which adds to credibility, and in today’s digital world that can have a huge impact on increasing sales.
Boosting Conversions
We believe that web design has a direct correlation with conversion rates. Be sure that your website is easy to navigate and it is clear and easy for visitors to reach the pages they want. And once they get what they’re looking for, there should always be a call-to-action.

Happy Halloween Everyone! While you get your perfect costumes and party plans in order, we wanted to take a moment and embrace the holiday from a marketing perspective.
Millennials are driving sales records this year! It’s official, more events/attractions, retailers and liquor and beer manufacturers are taking notice and targeting the 21-34 year old crowd.
In fact, Halloween 2017 is looking to be an all around record-setter for consumer spending, 179 million Americans are estimated to be celebrating which is up 8 million from last year.
Halloween candy sales for 2017 are expected to reach $4.1 billion, while retail sales will hit $9.1 billion that’s up from $8.4 billion in 2016! The average person will spend $169.81 on Halloween this year according to a LendEDU poll. This same study found that costume spending takes up 42% of this budget…with 16% of Americans planning to dress their pets as well.
It’s safe to say retailers are excited, if this is any indication for the holiday spending climate this year, there’s no telling how much larger it could grow.
