Website Redesign: Making it Usable

 

4 Biggest Mistakes in Website Redesign

Always start with a plan when you redesign a website.

Looking to redesign your website? If so, you probably have a list of things to check for usability problems.

Creating a customer friendly redesign typically means evaluating the current functionality of elements such as navigation, search, checkout process, shopping carts, and page design.

While each of these elements can influence usability and should be evaluated , don’t assume that checking off elements on a list like this one will give your customers exactly what they’re looking for.

Redesign Your Website One Button at a Time

If you’ve just launched a website or a completed a redesign, you may be tempted think that you can sit back and relax, letting your website run for a while without any more changes. After all, you’ve put a lot of time and effort into getting it just perfect. Why start tweaking things now?

If you view web redesign as a one-time overhaul that incorporates major changes once or twice a year, it’s time to rethink your strategy. While redesigns of this type can be helpful at times, both you and your viewers will experience less frustration and greater satisfaction if you aim for continuous improvement to increase conversion rates.

Too many web designers still create websites that require one, two or three thousand visitors to produce a lead or make a sale.

It’s easy to  throw around the term “user friendly”.  It sounds good and helps marketing efforts.   But if the site doesn’t produce, now it’s the client’s problem.
