'corePHP'

Boosting your conversion from site design

A website is an integral component of a modern business’ sales strategy. It serves as the hub for all the marketing communication, central buying portal and the link for customer care. A properly designed website will engage viewers, develop relationships with customers and ultimately drive sales. On the flip side, a poorly designed website will irritate your consumer base, forcing them into your competitors’ arms.

Metrics have changed over the years to include an emotional component. With this, the use of white space has an upper limit. Anything over approximately 50 percent will negatively impact the viewer’s ability to enjoy the website. A good balance is between 30 and 50 percent. Take a look at the Philip House website for an example of good white space balance. They use it to bring your eyes to the images and then to the menu. Continue reading →
