The 5 Best Website Elements That More Than 90% of Consumers Want - Plus, the Top 25 Web Design Agencies of 2019

NEW YORK, June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Studies show that 48 percent of consumers say a brand's website design directly influences their credibility.

While there are many elements that create a successful website, all of them ultimately revolve around building a positive user experience to solidify brand longevity. In fact, 95 percent of consumers say that a positive UX is the most important aspect of a website.

DesignRush.com, a B2B marketplace connecting brands with agencies, rounded up the top website elements that improve user experience and thus increase key performance indicators (KPIs) such as time on site and conversions.

The top 5 web features of 2019 include:

1. A Strategic Homepage

First and foremost, brands should create a strategic homepage that delivers all the information users both need to see and want to see.

Key homepage elements include:

• A primary homepage image that is above the fold.
• Natural sounding copy.
• Clearly listed products and services.
• A sticky logo in the left-hand corner that links to the homepage through the entire site.
• An easy-to-identify navigational menu.
• And more!

These homepage features are proven to attract consumers and encourage them to interact with a brand online. For instance, research shows that consumers spend more time looking at a website's main image than they do looking at all the written copy combined.

In addition, natural and organic text can increase conversions by 40 percent and 86 percent of consumers want to see a business's products or services clearly listed on the homepage.

2. Specific Landing Pages

Although developing many landing pages throughout a website is a tedious task, building additional pages can help brands generate more leads.

Dedicated landing pages allow brands to include detailed and relevant information to the exact consumers that are finding that page, whether it is via pay-per-click advertisements, social media marketing campaigns, search listing results or another channel.

These strategic landing pages should include elements such as:

• Bullet-pointed lists, which 70 percent of users read.
• Anchor text calls to action, which improve conversions by up to 121 percent.
• And more!

3. Responsive Web Design

Nearly 50 percent of worldwide Internet traffic comes from mobile devices, making responsive websites a must for all brands. After all, 62 percent of businesses that created sites optimized for mobile noticeably increased their sales revenue.

Luckily, a leading website development company will be able to concurrently build a professional website that functions well on desktops, tablets, and mobile smartphones.

To ensure consistent brand presentation and user experience, responsive websites should have:

• A responsive logo and identifiable branding.
• Intuitive navigation.
• An easy-to-use search bar.
• Large buttons and calls to action that are easy for users to click with their fingers on small screens.
• Larger, legible typography.
• And more!

4. Multimedia

Websites that include videos, images, motion graphics, slideshows and other forms of multimedia can improve user experience in many ways.

For example, product videos have the power to increase conversion rates by 40 percent.

In addition, creative multimedia and visuals can:

• Increase time on site
• Present material and information in a more engaging manner
• Improve the likelihood that users will remember information
• And more!

5. Fast Site Speed & Loading Time

Finally, brands should ensure that each web page throughout their custom site loads quickly.
For example, 40 percent of users will leave a website that takes more than three seconds to load. Additionally, slow-loading websites create upwards of $2.6 billion in lost sales each year.
In order to create a fast website, brands must:

• Optimize image file sizes.
• Reduce the number of 301 redirects.
• Work with web developers to improve website code, minimize HTTP requests, combine files and more.

"Building a successful website is complex," says DesignRush Founder and Executive Director Gabriel Shaoolian. "Brands must take the time to understand the benefits of smaller features and functionalities, then work with developers to create them. This level of attention to detail is what will encourage potential consumers to visit their site, interact with the brand, convert, and return at a later date to repeat the process."
