Boost Your Conversion Rates With Good Design

Whether you're dealing with Internet advertising for plastic surgeons or for any other business, the design of your website can affect your visitors' experience and, as a result, your conversion rates. The more that your visitors enjoy your website and find it easy to use, the greater the chance that they'll become your actual patients.

The following are tips for creating a well-designed website that can boost your conversion rates:

  • Colors. The colors of your website can have a big impact on your visitors' experience and their impression of you and your website. As such, it's important that you choose your colors carefully. Your colors should help to create a mood and they should be representative of your website's message. Overly dull colors can come across as boring or plain. Overly bright colors, on the other hand, can seem a bit unprofessional or even chaotic, and are often best used sparingly as accents to highlight important information and page elements.
  • Contact. It's essential that you make it easy for visitors on your site to contact you. This is particularly important when it comes to Internet advertising for plastic surgeons because, unlike other online businesses, you're not selling anything directly through your website. Instead, visitors must contact you in order to acquire your services. Every page on your website should include some contact information, your phone number and email address or a mailto link at a minimum. You should also have a Contact Us' page that includes all potential ways for people to contact you and even a contact form.
  • Load Times. It's essential that your pages, particularly your homepage, download quickly. In fact, it's estimated that visitors will leave a site if it hasn't loaded within eight seconds. In many cases, images and graphics are the cause of slow loading times. Make sure that you don't use too many images or overly large images on a single page. You should also optimize them to load quickly and even consider using the same image on several pages.
  • Navigation. Visitors will simply leave your site if they're unable to find the information they're looking for or if they get lost within your site. As such, it's essential that your site's navigation be straight-forward and easy to use. Every page on your site should include a link to your homepage. It can also be very helpful to include a site map and even a search feature.
  • Text. Because people read text on a computer differently than they do text in print, it's important that you make your text easy to read. Reading online is more strenuous on the eyes, and people tend to scan text rather than read every paragraph and sentence. Don't present your content as large chunks of text. Instead, break it up using headlines, bulleted lists and lots of space.
