Appearance:
Usually people like to enter the shop that looks good outside as well as on the inside. Same is the case with website. The website should not only look good but also appealing. In the current market scenario most of the times what looks good sells good. If the appearance of the website is good and appealing, there are more chances of the visitor remaining glued to the website and getting converted to buyer. The color scheme plays a crucial role in the appearance of the website. Usually a light background with a dark text is recommended because if the text is light and the background is dark the visitor could get irritated.
Navigation and compatibility:
The layout of the web design should be so simple that the visitor finds it easy to navigate and easily find what other is searching for. If the navigation is easy and simple the visitor will like it just because it saves other's time. On the contrary, there can be negative effect if the layout is confusing and the visitor is not able to find what visitor is searching for. The website should be designed in such a way that it is downloaded as quickly as possible. The website should be compatible with the browsers, operating systems and platforms used by the visitor.
Text and Visual content:
It is the right blend of the text and visual content that can make the website successful. While text is necessary to make the website search engine friendly there are situations in which the embedding of images is mandatory for converting the visitor into buyer. Usually the images are not considered for indexing the search engine list. If appropriate technology is not used, the image can add weight to the website and hamper its downloading.
User friendly:
The website needs to facilitate the visitor each and every way possible. There should not be any scope of the visitor feeling uncomfortable. The web design should be based on the priorities of the prospective buyers. The website should have such an effect on the visitor that he/she likes to visit it repeatedly and buy products or service offered. The billing done should include all the expenses like logistics and even tax if applicable. The buyer should be assured that the name and password used by him/her for paying the bills is going to remain highly confidential.
