Streamline Navigation

Next, let’s make it a no brainer for your visitors to find what they are looking for. A clean and intuitive navigation is like a friendly tour guide for your website. It allows visitors to navigate your content so they don’t get lost or frustrated.

Try these navigation tricks:

• Use clear yoga menu descriptions for menu items

• Add a search function to enable users to look for particular content

• A sticky header that remains visible as users scroll

• Categorize Your Content into Logical Topics

I actually went to your website once, and there were so many menu items that it felt like a puzzle figuring out how to get to the contact page. Don’t make that mistake!

Tap into the Strength of Visual Storytelling

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, right? In the world of web design, they have even more value. By incorporating visual storytelling, you can engage your audience emotionally and create a more memorable experience.

Here are best techniques to tell your story with visuals.

• Represent your brand with high-quality images closely related to your brand

• Use infographics to highlight essential data

• Use short video or animation to demonstrate complicated ideas

• Use the same imagery to reinforce your brand

I recall using a travel website that displayed beautiful, large images of places. It was so inspiring, it made me want to throw everything into a backpack and just GO!

Time Is the Unspeakable Pivot

You are also going to see something here that is not glamorous at all but, in my opinion, one of the most important things website speed! A website that loads quickly can significantly improve user experience and may affect your search engine rankings, as well.

Here are a few ways you can speed up your site:

• Make your images and videos a size that is lower attention grabbing

• Implement a content delivery network (CDN)

• Minimize HTTP requests

• Enable browser caching

Fun fact: 53% of mobile site visitors leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load (Source: Google).

Optimize for Conversions

If you can’t hit your goals, what is the point of having a beautiful website? Whether you want guests to make a purchase, register for a newsletter, or get in touch with you, your redesign should target increasing conversions.

See these conversion-increasing tricks:

• Rightly use clear and attractive CTAs (Calls to Action)

• Make sure to appear above the fold if you have important information and CTAs

• Utilize social proof (testimonials and reviews)

• Reduce friction by simplifying your forms

I even used to work on a site where we went from green to orange for the color of a CTA button and we saw a 32% increase in conversions! Pero a veces el menor de los cambios puede venir a marcar la diferencia.

Incorporate Modern Design Trends

This will ensure that your website remains updated and contemporary. Yet, ideally, the trendy elements should be balanced with timeless design principles so that your site doesn’t look out of date too quickly.

Some modern design trends to keep in mind:

• White space with a minimalist design

• Typography with a punch and different font combinations

• Tiny interactions for better user engagement

• Options for better readability (dark mode)

Not all fads are necessary so ensure that you are always keeping user experience first.

Focus on Tailored User Experiences

Nothing makes any of us feel better than feeling special, and your web site can help facilitate that. Personalization is a way to make your visitors feel valued and engage more with your site.

Here are a few ways that you can personalize the user experience:

• Leverage geolocation for serving relevant content based on user location

• Use browsing history for product recommendations

• Enable users to modify the settings of their dashboard or feed

• Employ user data to personalize greetings and content

I once went to an e-commerce website that remembered what size I wear and only showed me clothes available in my size. It was a game changer for shopping!

I used a website with an interactive body map to identify symptoms. So much more useful than a long string of text!
