3 Easy Small Business Website Design Tips

You’ve got the business model set, your services and products at the ready, and your social media accounts ready to go, which only leaves one last, Godzilla-sized task…designing your website. My Social Lady doesn’t want your website to be the stumbling block that gets in the way of your entrepreneurial dreams, which is why we’re going to give you three tips for designing a great website. 

Make Sure Your Website Is Easy to Read and Navigate

Shifting through clutter to get to what you want is always annoying. The last thing you want to do is give customers the impression that your website is going to be frustrating to navigate. Create tabs to organize content, avoid using too many different fonts, and make good use of headers and visuals to make your site easier to read. 

Check That Your Site Works on Mobile

Chances are when people are searching for local cupcake makers or a nice boutique to shop at, they’re going to pick up their phone and search it up, especially when on the go. Desktop layouts don’t always translate well to mobile, so make sure to simplify and scale down assets like the menus or prompts for email sign-ups, which may be too large on a phone screen.

While it may be daunting to design your own website, just know that even the best webpages have flaws. Try your best to make a clean and readable page and collect some feedback later so you can improve it. And remember—even if you fumble and make a mistake, you can always go back and fix it!
