Fast Load Times

People won’t wait more than 2 seconds for your site to load. Get off unreliable shared hosting environments make sure your site’s frontend is compressed & optimized for speed!

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Mobile Site” _builder_version=”3.0.100″]

Mobile Site

55% of your site visitors, or more, will see your website on their phones. Make viewing why they should trust you easy. Good mobile sites are proiritized in Google search results too. (Also known as “responsive design.”)

Error Free

Visible code errors? Broken images? These things happened but when left unchecked they trigger a lack of trust with both potential clients and search engines looking for ways to automatically rank businesses to refer people to.

Consistent

Choose a font and logo and color scheme for your company and be consistent about it across all your marketing channels. Cohesiveness means you’re always building on top of previous investments made in a positive impression.

Concise

People skim. If visitors visit a confusing site without carefully-constructed, concise language, it’s not clear they’ll be confident to think the business will take more time and care in its dealings with them as a client.
