So, is your website responsive and mobile-ready? According to recent research less than 19% of the world’s top 500,000 web sites are mobile-ready and that means you may already be losing business to those competitors who have already embraced this trend. Have you checked your web analytics recently? You’ll be amazed how your website traffic is increasingly being generated by mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, BlackBerrys, Androids and other types of smartphone or tablet devices. In fact, by providing a satisfactory mobile experience, companies pave the way for clients to go on to purchase. A ForeSee Results’ survey found those who are satisfied with a mobile experience are 32% more likely to go on to purchase from that company online and 31% more likely to buy offline. It is also estimated that by 2013 more people will access internet using mobile devices than computers. So you could be losing potential customers if your website doesn’t provide a great user experience on a smartphone or tablet.

After all… There are probably just three choices:

• Do nothing. I really don’t believe in these new fangled gizmos and I don’t need any more business.
• I want to ensure my customers get a great mobile experience, but I’ll cautiously dip my toe in the water thanks so let’s talk about an introductory package.
• I really can’t afford to miss out on the additional mobile traffic so I might need to discuss this in more depth with you ASAP

Your website is very often the first time a potential customer comes across your business. In less than 60 seconds they will have asked themselves:

• Have I arrived at the right place?
• Is this a credible, professional company?
• Does this website make me feel comfortable?
• Does this website offer what I am searching for and can I trust it?
• Do I feel welcome?

You may think that design is not the most important factor in a website and that functionality plays a far more important role, but it’s design that’s responsible for making that good first impression every time.

We have found that a website’s design is more important than credibility indicators such having a privacy policy, testimonials, awards or certificates. When our clients tell us they ‘bounce’ straight away when arriving at a poorly designed site it comes as no surprise. Visitors first evaluate a site’s overall design, including its use of multimedia. While visitors may say they judge on substance, usability tests show that they judge first on aesthetics. So, after spending all this time developing great, unique content that visitors can’t get anywhere else, don’t go and ruin it by splattering it all over the areas of the page not covered in adverts.

While the immediate visual appeal of a website is the number one element in capturing your visitors attention, their second block of 60 seconds will be used determining the level of crediblity.

The 5 First Impression Rules:

• Use of colours: Avoid a chaotic mix of colours on your pages. Use 3 or 4 colours for your design that relate to your products / services.
• Animation and media: You would be shocked at the high percentage of web surfers that tell us they hate animations, video set to auto-play and the ultimate crime, background music without an option to switch it off.
• Layout: Elements of a page should be in a grid not scattered randomly and create a clear navigation structure. Web page visitors tend to scan the content in a ‘Z’ motion.
• Clutter: Avoid clutter at all times and remember, white space can be your friend.
• Typography: Use font families, sizes and colors that are easy to read. Visitors scan pages not read them so use proper headings, lists and only short blocks of text.

While design is important, don’t forget that offering great content is what your visitors are ultimately after. A well-designed website might convince visitors to take a closer look but they won’t look twice if the content isn’t useful and well organized. Remember, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

That’s it. That’s all. From New York City to Munich, from Tokyo to Sydney, The Art of FLIGHT World Premiere Tour inspired viewers and media worldwide. From September through November, The Art of FLIGHT cast and crew hit the road for a tour spanning 42 legendary performance spaces across North America, Oceania, Asia, and Europe to share The Art of FLIGHT with a global audience. The film, produced by Red Bull Media House in association with Brain Farm Digital Cinema, brought the houses down with more than 50,000 spectators in 42 cities and 20 countries – having secured 85,000+ iTunes downloads since September…and counting.

Here’s just a few (out of hundreds) of reasons to replace your Flash website:

• It’s a pain to manage.
• It’s a pain for people that visit your website.
• It’s a pain to browse.
• It’s old fashioned.
• No one likes the music playing in the background.
• You are making people wait for your website to load.
• Your website is not supported on Apple mobile products. Tut tut!
• You don’t have any SEO capabilities.
• You’re, most likely overpaying for what you are getting. (In the long run)
• You’re missing out on about 100% of the promotional tools you have access to if your website wasn’t a Flash website.

When it comes to oneweb we will build you a Flash website if you absolutely insist that you must have one but we would try to talk you out of it. We still build quite a few Flash widgets and features which are kinda ok to use but we still discourage it because they don’t look very bright and shiny on iPads and iPhones when your visitor is looking at a blank piece of web page.

Make a move. Think about a revamp. Get rid of your Flash website and convert it to a more functional, easy to use and update WordPress, Joomla! or Drupal website. Contact us for a quote today.
