Beverly Gonzales, Design Team Lead, on Why a Nicely Designed Website is Critical to Your Business
Design Matters to Your Customers and Should Matter to You.

A website is essential for any organization in the digital age. Without a website, you are likely missing out on prospects for your company if you own a business. Also, having a website can create opportunities for your business to expand your marketing strategies as it will be your company’s center of online presence.
However, having a website is not the only thing you have to do. As said, your website will be your company’s center of online presence. Therefore, having just any website is not enough. In order to properly communicate your business, it is crucial that your website is
good
enough. Many studies have also pointed out that a business website design heavily impacts your customer experience and lead generation.
Having good website design matters. You may think your customers don’t care about design but whether they may consciously think so or not, we humans tend to react to visuals and that we are naturally drawn to good visuals.
Also, according to a study,
75% of users make judgements about a company’s credibility based on their visual design alone
. So, if a user comes across an outdated-looking website, the user may second guess the credibility and legitimacy of the company.
Impressions are also an important factor. Studies have also suggested that it only takes visitors 50 milliseconds to form a first impression of your website.
Lastly, a good web design may help you gain your potential customers. Studies have shown that 38% of people may stop engaging with a website that presents an unpleasant layout.
Having a good website will help give credibility to your business. It will give a good impression to your audience, that will consequently lead to the success of your company.
And that’s why we in MMDC constantly suggest investing in having a well-designed, professional website. Or if you already have a working website, MMDC also offers a redesign of your website that will suit your company values.
