2) First Impression Is the Last Impression
Everyone knows that the above quote applies to all walks of life and website designing/development is no exception. People like simple pages, which offer logo on left corner top with an easy navigation and quick access link to other pages with a simple click hence make your website design very attractive to create a lasting impression.
3) Mapping of Buyer Needs
Get a proper homework done for the buyer needs whether you are targeting specific groups or common clientele and technologies are available with psychological commercial applications where you can also specifically focus on targeted clients. Make sure that your website offers a good value to the users by clearly highlighting the goods or services you offer.
4) Don’t Force For Sign Up
The reading material/contents on the website/homepage should be simplistic, impressive enough, attracting the valued targeted clientele to help create a self-desire within oneself to seek or request to sign up or register without any hard preconditions.
5) Provide Option for Call to Action
Make your visitors understand what happens when they click by linking benefits of the call to action application and empty words like “submit” should be avoided.
6) Web Copying
It is true that people generally do a survey or proper homework before buying any product or services and they traditionally compare similar looking products or services, therefore copywriting is highly important though every precaution be taken that copyright rules are not violated when copying competitors.

8) How a Web Design Should Look?
As you know people have a variety of choices from purple to blue and the study shows that websites with high “proto-typicality” and with low visual complexity are very appealing to the public. Hence, these factors should be kept in view when innovating any design.
9) A Deep Visual Effect
We generally know what catches our eyes strongly has an immediate effect on our minds and this deep visual effect carries a lasting impression helping us in exploring further until decision-making. Therefore, a strong visual hierarchy is necessary.
