Objectives of Building a Website

It’s common to see local businesses approaching us, saying they want to build a website. When we start probing for more details, they cannot define what they want. Usually, there are multiple stakeholders, too. So, that’s even harder when each stakeholder is unclear about//their expectations of the website.

That’s why we always advise that you have an internal meeting with your team before you head to any agency asking for a quote. This will help you identify your objectives, requirements, priorities, and eventually budget.

Identifying Business Goals for The New Website

These questions are a good exercise with your internal team before you start looking for a quote.

• What are your business objectives for having a website?
• What is the most profitable source of income for your business? How do you see it growing on digital platforms?
• What is the least profitable source of income for your business? Can a website feature give it a push?
• Who is your target audience? How well acquainted are they with the digital world?

Assessing The Internal Side of Your Business

• What does the internal process look like? What can a website do to optimise your business process? – especially from a customer point of view.
• Are there any mundane processes you want to automate through your website?
• If yes, are your internal staff members ready for a digital transformation?
• Is there someone assigned to look after your website after it’s built?
• Are you going to add content regularly to the website?

Web Design Lisburn: Website Design and Functionalities

• What pages do you require for your website?
• What features and functionalities would you like to add to your website?
• Who is going to host and maintain your website?
• Do you have a specific design in mind?
• Do you have any design references within or outside of your industry?
• Do you have a specific budget in mind?

The Best Types of Websites for Your Business

Whether you want to redesign or build a new website from scratch, the starting point is to identify the type of website you need. From the outside, all websites look the same. However, there are many different types of websites to choose from. It all depends on your business objectives. Before selecting the kind of website, ensure you’re aligned with your team on the previous exercise.

E-commerce Website

An e-commerce website allows you to sell products from your online store. You may incorporate a drop-shipping model into your online business to sell products from a third-party distributor. Or you can be in charge of the selling process from start to finish. It all depends on how you run the business. Whichever way, the main ecommerce requirements and features will remain the same. Meanwhile, some features may vary according to the business model.

The Main Pages and Features of an E-commerce Website

Home Page

• Home page that focuses on best sellers, promotions, calls to action (CTAs), categories, and engaging video and content.
• The product categories page includes the main categories by which users will search. For instance, a fashion brand may consist of (Men, Women, Children, Sale)
• The search engine function can include as many filters as you wish or no filters if there is no need for them. Larger e-commerce websites typically include many filters (brand, size, user, price, etc.).

Additional Pages

• The about page includes information about the brand, who you are, brand promise and values, etc.
• The FAQ page is super important for many online stores because customers usually have questions about returns, refunds, delivery times, product quality, ingredients, size charts, etc.
• Offers – some online stores need it, others don’t. It depends on
• Blog – the most successful e-commerce website is not merely where people buy and run. Not only will blogs improve your SEO ranking, but they are also super important for building brand loyalty.
• The Contact Us page is one of the most essential pages because if anything goes wrong or the visitor wishes to get in touch directly, this is usually the first page they will click on.

Product Pages

• The main archive products page includes all the products listed under a specific category.
• A single product page is where the user will click to see more details about the product (description, price, clear view image, colours, sizes, build up a product, etc.). This is also the page where visitors can view or add comments and reviews.
• Cart page where customers can view all the products they added to their carts, with the price, size, quantity, and colour listed

Purchasing Pages

• This is the checkout page where visitors will review their products and add details like specific requests, delivery address, promo codes, or any required information. They should also choose the payment method and get the total cost, including tax and delivery.
• The Payment Processing page will connect them to a third-party page or directly to the payment processing.
• The confirmation page, the ‘Thank You’ page, will appear once everything is finalised. You should engage the buyer with a CTA to join the email marketing list or follow you on your social media accounts.

E-commerce Website Tips and Tricks

Keep It Simple and Straightforward

It’s easy to get carried away with too many calls to action and product clutter, especially on the home page. Remember that the neater, the better.

Make Branding a Priority

You’re not a retailer or just another one-stop shop. You want to build a brand for your audience and provide a memorable experience, especially if you’re selling products that are not exclusively yours—branding is everything.

Think of the Customer Journey and Experience

Whenever you review your website, think of yourself as a customer. For example, what questions would you ask if you were a customer? What details would you look for in the product description? How can you encourage a customer who is afraid to buy the wrong size?

How can you showcase the product’s material if the customer holds it? While everyone often repeats these questions, few brands grasp the concept of improving the online shopping experience for customers.

Use High Quality Images

Remember that online shopping is different from shopping in a physical store. In a physical store, images don’t matter. It’s the real product on the shelf that counts. On online platforms, no real product makes up for a low-quality image. What you see should be what you get.

The risk factor is always higher for online shoppers because it is a virtual experience. Therefore, they won’t risk a product with a low-quality image because it doesn’t give them real expectations. On a different note, large photos and files hinder your SEO performance and page loading speed, so using tools that compress your images without compromising quality is essential.

How to Choose the Right Web Design Agency in Lisburn?

We offer website design and development services that have been praised in Lisburn and beyond for their creative focus on visual flow and robust stability. We realise that every second of downtime results in lost business. For this reason, we are proud to say that every of our web design projects is subject to the most thorough usability testing methods, informed by the latest user experience (UX) research findings.

A Holistic Approach

For our clients in Lisburn and Northern Ireland, we follow a holistic approach that makes the most out of on-site efforts such as infographics and multimedia embedding. Through each stage of your web design project, our team is available to identify the most appropriate channels for your brand, maximising your digital marketing efforts. Let us build your site while you run your business – it’s what we do.

Big Picture Websites

Regarding web design, local companies launch two types of websites: ‘quick fix websites, ’ which just give the business a temporary digital scaffold, and big picture sites, which provide a creative digital solution designed to support the company’s entire online world with real results. Let’s take a closer look.

The Digital Scaffold

This type of website might answer the statement ‘we need a website’ but doesn’t meet the company’s goals (for example, by driving enquiries), doesn’t meet the company’s needs (such as, being simple to edit when changes are needed) and takes a patchy approach to being seen prominently by customers searching Google. The ‘cheap and cheerful’ website will also quickly fall by the wayside when technology and customers change.

For example, when customers move towards voice searching or want to view the site on new types of devices. In short, a website doing the wrong things in the wrong way in a non-adaptable way simply drains your investment.

The Creative, Results-Driven Digital Solution

We know that local companies in Lisburn don’t have the time and funds to waste on a website unless it is built around delivering on that investment. That’s why we start with the website’s goal and how that fits in with the goal of your business. Then, we understand how the functions of your website can pull together the brand’s marketing and digital marketing efforts. This way, your online world works for your business rather than simply being a cost for your business in a genuinely results-oriented way.

Aim for a Goal

If you run a local business in Lisburn or further afield, your company will have a clear goal. Make your new site design work towards those goals, too. Want more leads? Want a better understanding of your brand or service? We love to understand our clients’ businesses and, most of all, where they need to be in the future. After all, your new site can be part of your business success. Ask us how!

Join The Dots

Because your business strategy will already be closely linked with your marketing strategy (if it isn’t, ask us for help!), your new website can be the creative link holding your online world and company goals together. A great site is built around your big picture. If you’ve been dealing with any digital company that didn’t take the time to see your company and its online presence, it may be a sign to think again.

Take SEO Seriously

You wouldn’t do a top-to-bottom customer experience review at your business by following piecemeal advice. For the same reason, making Google love your site – remember that better visibility means more quality traffic means more potential leads – should be a specialist area, built into the DNA of everything you do online, and following the latest SEO knowledge. We’re local SEO specialists who can demonstrate how great SEO can work for you.

Look to The Future

The one thing that’s certain in the online world is that your customers will change their behaviour… soon. Browsing from new devices, searching in new ways, and changing expectations from a website means keeping you ahead of the trends and the competition. We’ll explain how forward-looking web design can do much better.
