Having a "Good Enough" Website Isn't Good Enough
Recently I worked on a project that I am super proud of. A previous client of mine referred me to a wedding/special events DJ who goes by the name of Señor Amor. Señor was in need of a website revamp and sought out my services.
Whether you sell a product or service, your website is often the first (and only) impression a potential customer has of you. Unlike real life impressions, digital impressions are much more fleeting. If your site isn’t mobile friendly or if you don’t capture a customer’s attention right away, they will bounce on to the next Google search. Bye Felicia!
Here was what Señor's site looked like before:
Here is his site now:
I work with a variety of budgets, industries, and time constraints. If you (or someone you know) are in need of a website revamp, please get in touch. If you are unsure if you need a website revamp, enter your URL into this free widget created by Google. It will let you know if your site is mobile friendly or not.
Is Your Site Mobile-Friendly?
If your website isn't mobile friendly then you might already be experiencing a dip in sales. That's not the only thing you should be worrying about, however. As of Tuesday, Google announced that it would penalize websites that aren't mobile friendly by lowering their search rank. The more mobile friendly your site is, the more likely it will be featured in Google search results, (specifically those found using a smartphone.)
There is nothing worse than trying to look something up on your smartphone (like a restaurant menu for example) and having to zoom and scroll just to read the entree description. If you are anything like me, landing on one of these sites is a sure fire way to get me to never eat at your establishment.
