Purpose-Driven Website Design

In today’s digital age, your website is often the first point of contact between your business and potential customers. It serves as your online storefront, your digital business card, and the heart of your online presence.

At Your Marketing Crew, we understand the critical role that a well-designed website plays in creating a positive first impression and engaging your audience effectively. That’s why we offer comprehensive Website Design Services to help you make the most of your online presence.

Your company website is the heart of your online presence

… the bridge that ushers in engaged prospects.

“Pretty” DIY websites don’t quite cut it.

While there are a lot of alluring and eye-catching templates on those “free” do-it-yourself website builders, there are quite a few things they don’t inherently offer.

Without clear and directive messaging that speaks to your audience, optimized content that satisfies the search engines and answers your visitor’s questions, and tech integrations that allow them to interact with you, that “pretty” website can fall short of its goal to educate, engage, and generate income.

Every website needs a purpose.

To properly guide visitors, each section of a website must naturally lead to the next until the desired goal is achieved. Otherwise, the website might not satisfy the needs of the business, and therefore fall short of the value it can truly be providing.

Along with eye-pleasing designs, we incorporate purpose-driven content and messaging. This way, a website can be a valuable, professional asset representing the business online, 24/7.

A company website can bridge the gap.

Because building trust online is key to converting a visitor into a buyer, we help you cultivate that relationship through relatable website content. We understand, as a business owner, it can be difficult to convey the value of your offers in simple terms your visitors can relate to.

By answering the right questions and providing the right information in an intuitively organized, simple, and concise manner, a well-crafted website can act as the bridge between the visitor and the company, and usher in prospects looking for the exact services offered.

6 Problems Business Owners Face with Designing a Website

Taking this route may seem like a way to save money, like many DIY options do, but often business owners quickly learn it’s not the route to save time (or their sanity). With the hefty learning curve and all the other duties of running their business, they may severely delay the process of creating a website that generates new business. And a website that is unable to generate new business ends up costing a lot more, not only in time but in lost income as well.

The Solution:

It’s recommended for a business owner in this position to invest in their business by hiring a professional web designer. The guidance, insights, and expertise of the designer eases and speeds up the process of creating a company website, which can be both fun and liberating for a business owner. Together, they can create a website that showcases the company’s offerings and generates new business, in much less time.

While free website builders look easy and convenient to manage, and come with attractive templates, a business owner often sacrifices a lot in features, flexibility, and control going this route. Because they don’t own the site themselves (they are basically renting web space from the company), they have much less say-so in their own company website. While these platforms do keep their users in mind when offering features, they can’t accommodate everyone’s requests and often choose what’s best for the masses. Unfortunately, that can limit how much a business can grow with their company website and what they can truly do with it.

The Solution:

It’s recommended to a business owner whose website is created on this type of platform to purchase their own self-hosted domain and hire a professional web designer to build their company website there. This way, they have full control over one of their most important business assets (their website) and can experience nearly endless features and unlimited growth potential.

Again, a business owner who relies on their social media profiles as their main web presence is forfeiting control and ownership of a very important aspect of their business. When changes are made to the algorithms or the way a profile is set up, it has a direct impact on every business and user on the platform. As a business owner who uses social media solely to promote their brand, that can present many issues to resolve, on top of their normal business duties.

The Solution:

In this situation, it’s most beneficial for a business owner to have a professional company website created to serve as their main online presence. From there, they can use social media outlets as secondary avenues to direct followers to their company website, which remains unaffected by any changes made on the social media platforms. This gives a business owner a more secure feeling and shows visitors that the business is stable as well.

A business owner is great at what they do, and it’s not expected that they should know what to put on their company website – or to know what’s all possible. Yet, when a business owner takes on this responsibility by tackling the design of their website on their own, they can be doing a disservice to themselves, their business’s online presence, and their prospective customers. Without a marketing mindset, an understanding of buyer psychology or design and search trends, they could end up creating a “nice looking” website that underperforms and costs them more than expected.

The Solution:

A business owner in this position would greatly benefit from working with an experienced web designer to establish a website for their company. But not just any web designer – one that they feel understands their business and shows that they can foresee things the owner never thought of, from the onset. This can make a very impactful difference in the process of creating a company website; it can actually be fun! Finding a designer who listens to a business owner, enlightens and educates them, and delivers what is best for the business will save the most time and energy, and make the most of all that is invested.

While a friend or family member has the best intentions, they can be blinded by the emotions of the personal relationship and wanting to do a good job. Unless that person is as invested in the company as the business owner, they may not be able to realize what the business needs or provide a company website that performs to its full potential. While there’s loving intent, a company might end up with an amateur website, as a professional will know how to properly charge for their expertise and experience.

The Solution:

To a business owner who is ready to make the shift, it’s recommended they invest in their company website by hiring an expert. A professional web designer offers an objective, business-minded viewpoint and will often suggest what “makes sense” (or makes cents) verses what simply looks or sounds good. In addition, they integrate marketing psychology and provide website visitors with the information they’re looking for to help them make informed buying decisions, and in turn boost sales.

There’s no good reason this should stop a business owner from having a company website. Too many options exist with regards to workflow, payment arrangements, and tools and resources.

The Solution:

When a business owner gets to that overwhelming point and gives up on their website, it’s definitely time to hire professional help. An experienced web designer will walk the business owner through the process, step-by-step, communicate in simple terms what their options are, and guide them towards making the best decisions for their business to thrive.

Digital Marketing Starts with a Well-Crafted Website

A business’s website is often a central component of its online marketing strategy. It serves as a digital storefront and a source for information about the products or services offered. The website is a critical touchpoint where potential customers can learn more about the business, book appointments, get quotes, make purchases, or contact the company.

As a central hub for a company’s online presence, a website plays a crucial role in generating business. Here are a few ways in which a business website becomes an income-generating asset:

Online Presence and Credibility:

  • Having a professional website establishes credibility for a business in the eyes of potential customers.
  • Consumers increasingly turn to online searches to find information about products and services.

Lead Generation:

  • A well-optimized website can capture leads through forms, contact information, and other engagement mechanisms.
  • Businesses can use their websites to attract potential customers and convert them into leads.

Sales and Conversions:

  • E-commerce websites directly facilitate online sales, providing a convenient platform for customers to make purchases.
  • Even for businesses that don’t sell products online, a website can influence offline sales by providing information that guides purchasing decisions.

Content Marketing:

  • A website is a primary platform for hosting and sharing valuable content, such as blog posts, articles, and videos.
  • Content marketing is a key component of digital marketing, and a website serves as the foundation for content distribution.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO):

  • Search engines favor websites that are well-structured, regularly updated, and provide valuable content.
  • SEO is critical for improving a website’s visibility in search engine results, driving organic traffic.

Mobile Responsiveness:

  • The increasing use of mobile devices underscores the importance of having a mobile-responsive website.
  • Google’s algorithms prioritize mobile-friendly websites, impacting search rankings.

Social Media Integration:

  • A website serves as a hub for linking to and integrating with various social media channels.
  • Social media and website synergy enhance brand visibility and engagement.

Analytics and Data:

  • Websites provide valuable data and insights through analytics tools.
  • Businesses can track user behavior, measure the effectiveness of marketing efforts, and make data-driven decisions.

And so, the importance of a company website in a digital marketing strategy cannot be overstated.
