User centered design; A must have for home pages

It is true that first impressions are last impressions. To quantify that, a first impression that your site radiates is all attributed to your homepage. It plays a pivotal role to mark the success or failure of your website design.

That said, one can say that your homepage can be the concluding aspect from the users perspective to either dig deeper into your site or simply increase your bounce rate thereby heading back to the search engine to seek something more meaningful.

Moreover, not all web designs have the capability of enticing their traffic. And that is all the cause of a badly created homepage that fails to deliver the information your reputed business.

It therefore leaves you a few precious seconds to actually put forth your message to the potential customer. To thus create a purposeful and convincing web design homepage, adhere to the following pointers:

1.A virtual introduction of your digital agency is always perceived to be the homepage. A welcome for your traffic should therefore be enchanting in nature. Upon entering your website, the user should immediately be notified with the offering of your business without the need to browse onto other pages. Also, make sure that the introduction is aptly filled in at the header region of the web design.

Moreover, it is wise to incorporate a proper analysis of how your services or product works in the case of catering to an innovative market, as anything new should be appropriately explained on your site.

2.It is very important that your web site homepage has fresh content. This assures the users that your site is regularly updated and looked after. And as your content should be regularly looked into, make sure that the website design aspect remains consistent i.e. the images, background colours etc. So it is dire essential to let the customers know that you don’t entertain outdated content and if that is the case, the visitor may just feel like your digital agency has been out of business for some time.

3.Finally, do connect your homepage with good unique selling points (USP’s). This can contain information like the advantages of your web design agency as against your competitors (of course, not to name them) and should hence be placed prominently on your website homepage.
