The importance of great web design
Web design is important because it impacts how your audience perceives your brand.
The impression your web site makes on them can have one of either two outcomes. It can get them to remain on your page and learn about your business or leave your website and return to search or a competitor.
A good web design helps you keep your leads on your page.
According to Blue Dolphin Website design is an important factor for determining credibility for almost half of visitors.
Visitors will almost instantly judge your website and not trust poorly designed or out-of-date websites. When your website is not visually appealing, it will affect the credibility of your business.
Presenting your company in a professional and well-designed manner can help you attract more customers and increase sales.
If your website looks unappealing or outdated, your audience will immediately have a negative impression of your business. You’ll miss out on leads because they’ll leave your page for a competitor’s page.
Research by (Sweor) Identifies that people will stop engaging with a website if the content or layout is unattractive.
38% of people will stop engaging with a website if the content or layout is unattractive. Studies show that the average website visitor spends just a few seconds on a given site. This is why it’s important to provide an attractive layout to keep them engaged
You want your website to help provide a solution to your user and the ability for the user to find that solution quickly and easily will help determine whether they will stay on your website or not.
Visual design, such as the graphics, icons, colours, and images are key, along with how the content is organised on the site to keep them engaged longer.

Northampton is the county town of Northamptonshire in the East Midlands of England. It lies on the River Nene, about 67 miles (108 km) north-west of London and 50 miles (80 km) south-east of Birmingham. The county is home to the famous Silverstone race track famous for hosting the first British Grand Prix as well as being home to the famous inland lighthouse the Express Lift Tower, Weetabix cereals, the international boot and shoe brand Doc Martens and probably the best lager in the world Carlsberg. The famous Great Fire of Northampton of 1675, destroyed the majority of the town caused by a spark from an open fire on St Mary’s Street. “More furious and more destructive” than the Great Fire of London was how witnesses described the fire.
