[WEBINAR] The Ugly Truth About Pretty Websites

Your website is the first thing your customers see—so it makes sense to dump buckets of money into how it looks, right?

WRONG.

In reality, the way your website functions is much more important than how it looks. Here’s why:

People Want What They Want When They Want It – Which Is NOW.

In the “now” economy, people expect a one-click, immediate solution to their problems. While a sleek, artsy design might look intriguing, it still has to accomplish a lot in a minimal amount of time. Without prominent calls-to-action, contact forms, and a natural flow, users may find your website pleasing to look at but completely useless or hard to navigate. And guess what? All they have to do is click the back button for a literal list of other businesses lined up with a website that IS functional.

An Amazing Design Comes with Costs

Let’s switch the technical side. Contrary to popular belief, the internet isn’t magic. There are thousands of lines of code that go into creating a website, and each line of code takes a certain amount of time to load. The more lines and the more complicated the code, the longer the website takes to respond.

That interactive banner you’ve always wanted? You can add half a second onto load time.

All those animations you’ve seen on other websites? Another half a second.

While adding one second onto your load time (the amount of time it takes for all of the information on a web page to appear) doesn’t seem like a lot, in the online world it’s the equivalent to 8,000 years.

The average user expects their website to load in under three seconds.

Three. Seconds.
