I was recently listening to Tech Talk Radio, where they were discussing a new book and released these new statistics.

How important is a good looking site these days. The answer is very! Did you know that 75% of web users admit making judgments about the credibility of an organisation based on the design of its website and 83% of businesses use the internet to search and find potential vendors?

That statement says two things,

1. You need to find a website design company that knows design - your website needs to reflect your business. If you’re trying to run a business, you don’t want your website appearance letting you down. The best search engine optimisation and content will sell your products, but if your website portrays your business as a “back yard operation” or “shonky” you have no chance of the visitor even reading your content.
2. You need to find a website design business that knows Search Engine Optimisation - your website will sit on the internet and float around like all the other billions. If your visitors aren’t finding your website, you’re not going to benefit from it. Your website needs to be found for terms you’re offering!

Remember, Websites that look nice, do function better. A well designed, formatted website will make you and your business look credible and professional giving your visitors a favorable impression of your business, and are more likely to make contact with you.
