The human brain can process images about 60,000 times faster than words. We\u2019re hard-wired to experience not just the world but also the web \u2013 visually. The common thread is obvious \u2013 design makes all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>As a web design company, our goal is to educate clients on the impact of great design. Most are surprised to learn that even the smallest of companies can gain instant differentiation, credibility and professionalism \u2013 all from a visually stimulating website. First impressions matter \u2013 in real life and on the web. We\u2019re here to make a believer out of you, too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Impressions_and_Brand_Identity\"><\/span>First Impressions and Brand Identity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your brand identity is in good hands with a <a href=\"https:\/\/da-manager.com\/web-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">web design company<\/a>. The design shows your brand\u2019s personality, helps prospects connect with your brand, and helps develop brand loyalty. Like making a good first impression, strong brand identity stands out in a positive and dynamic way. How important is that initial moment of contact to your brand identity? Consider the facts:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The average website user spends <a href=\"http:\/\/nuancedmedia.com\/brand-identity-importance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a length of about 10 seconds<\/a> deciding whether to stick around or search someplace else. The decision is made entirely on visual first impressions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Your brand is the face of your company. It sets you apart from the competition \u2013 and helps customers visually and emotionally connect with your business. For a brand identity as unique and personalized as you are, nothing is more important than choosing the right web design company.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Lesson_from_Social_Media\"><\/span>A Lesson from Social Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason brands share more visual content on social media than any other type of content. Brands on Facebook get a 65% increase in engagement with visual content. It\u2019s the perfect example of our preference for visuals over text \u2013 and the need for a web design company. Unique, engaging visual content does wonders for brands on the social web \u2013 and it can do the same for your website.<\/p>\n<p>Engagement is the heart of the relationship between consumers and brands. Design makes the relationship stronger or weaker. The difference between a strong and weak first impression can easily mean the difference between engaging potential customers and losing their attention to a competitor with a stronger visual footprint. A web design company can give you the edge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quality_Design_and_Credibility\"><\/span>Quality Design and Credibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You could have the greatest content in the world. Regardless, poorly designed, non-visually stimulating websites lose credibility to bounce rates. Don\u2019t believe us? Consider the research:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab, <a href=\"http:\/\/billiondollargraphics.com\/the-power-of-patterns-in-visual-communications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">46.1% of people<\/a> say a website\u2019s design is the number one criterion for discerning the credibility of the company.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Websites with pleasant visual design make users more relaxed. Users find visually pleasant websites more credible and easier to use. A positive first impression \u2013 based on the design rather than the content \u2013 determines the value of the website in the user\u2019s eyes. Could your website benefit from more credibility? Perhaps it\u2019s time to partner with a web design company.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Impression_to_Lasting_Impression\"><\/span>First Impression to Lasting Impression<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Visual content designed beautifully is memorable. The popularity of infographics is the perfect example. Graphs and charts make data more digestible \u2013 but visually stimulating infographics present the data in a more engaging way. It\u2019s the reason infographic search volume <a href=\"http:\/\/unbounce.com\/content-marketing\/why-do-infographics-make-great-marketing-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">increased by over 800%<\/a> in just two years.<\/p>\n<p>Quality design is the backbone of memorable infographics. Visually stimulating design ensures customers hear and remember your message and brand. The power of the infographic proves incredible design makes your first impression a lasting one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Partner_with_a_Web_Design_Company\"><\/span>Partner with a Web Design Company<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no denying the power of strong first impressions in web design.
