One of the big design mistakes in to cram a website full of information such that you can’t see the ‘wood for the trees.’
What a visitor to your site wants is a layout that gives them what they want quickly and easily with as few clicks as possible. This means that the design needs to be clear and easy to follow.
This requires pages with words, images and videos which deliver the message but then allow the visitor to dig deeper into the site if they want more. Alternatively, you could offer links to downloads to keep the site short and easy to follow.
A good ‘Contact us’ function is crucial so that visitors can make contact of they want further information.
