Web design is one of the key drivers of business growth in today’s rapidly evolving digital and tech-savvy world. According to a Stanford study, 75% of consumers judge a company’s credibility based on its website’s design and functionality. A website that looks good and offers a seamless user experience (UX), is essential for businesses helping them interact with their customers, build brand awareness, and increase sales. 

With the increasing importance of the Internet and its impact on modern businesses, having a well-designed website is essential for any business that wants to succeed. A website is often the first point of contact with potential customers, so it is important to convey your business’s values and professionalism. Having a website that looks great and functions properly will give customers an excellent first impression, making them more likely to stay on your site and explore what you have to offer. 

Need more convincing on why you need to set up a good website for your business? Here are 5 reasons why your brand needs a website:

  1. Provides a great first impression
  2. Helps businesses access a wider audience
  3. Establishes credibility
  4. Increases brand visibility
