Expert Web Site Design Services

According to a recent study by Stanford University, 46% of Web sales are lost on web sites that lack the critical elements that build value and trust with website visitors. The number one reason the people indicated why they wouldn’t buy from a web site was because it had an unprofessional “look and feel” that lacked credibility and did not “feel” trustworthy.

Having a professional look and persuasive copy (words) will convert more of your web site’s qualified visitors into new leads and customers. In turn, this will boost your company’s revenues and profits.

Common Problems

Unfortunately, many sites on the Web today aren’t “up to snuff” in the design and usability departments (Nielsen 1999, Nielsen & Tahir 2001). Users perceive poorly designed and slow sites as having inferior quality products and services (Bousch 2000). Consequently, money spent on advertising is wasted with higher bailout rates, fewer return visits, and abandoned shopping carts. In fact, most ecommerce sites waste between $1.5 to $2 million a year on costly redesigns (Forrester Research). Clearly, there’s got to be a better way.

The Solution: Professional Web Site Redesign

We will help you polish your look and maximize your conversion rates by combining compelling benefit-oriented copywriting and professional web site redesign.
