Still, it seems like many companies are not aware of how important this factor was in 2020. A brand is accepted as a completely immersive experience in a company’s ethos and personality: how an organization goes about their business, how others perceive them, and how they speak to consumers. Moreover, online shopping was rising to new levels in 2020. It would help if you remembered that a high-quality and convenient platform for your business is an opportunity to showcase what your business offers.
Please note that 75% of consumers admit to making judgments on a company’s credibility based on the company’s website design.
Remember that first impressions are everything. If people’s first impression of your site or app is positive, they are more likely to contact you or buy your service. Web design is also essential nowadays due to the growing prominence of online purchasing.
This is reinforced by a new report from OnePoll, commissioned by GoDaddy. The study surveyed 2,000 Americans and 500 small business owners.
And the following conclusions were made:
– 3 in 4 Americans agree that how a company presents itself online is more important now than before.
– 82% of Americans are less likely to buy something from a company if their website looks unprofessional or outdated.
– 6 in 10 are disappointed when a company doesn’t have a sleek, modern website.
– Half of those polled say they’re “disappointed” when a brand they want to shop with has no social media presence.
– The average American abandons 24 online purchases per year because a company’s website looks unprofessional.
– The average American hasn’t gone through with $61 worth of purchases in the past month due to a brand’s website, giving them pause.
– 92% of small business owners said they felt like their website appearance affected their sales.
– Nearly 3 in 4 (73%) manage their social media presence completely alone.
