“Poorly Designed Website”

At best, a poorly designed website sends the wrong message about your products and services. At worst, it’s damaging your credibility. Why risk it?

Poor website design = untrustworthy business?

At least through the eyes of nearly half the people visiting your website.

Studies show people have an instantaneous reaction to a website.

Like, .05 seconds instantaneous.

In the time it takes to blink, a positive or negative impression is created once they arrive on your website. If your website’s design is poor, there’s a high probability that you’ve left a bad first impression.

Just how bad?

Well, Stanford’s Persuasive Technology Lab found that almost half (46%) of people say a website’s design is the #1 criterion for discerning credibility.

Not good.

The Impact of Bad, Poor Visual Design on a Website

People make snap assumptions (good or bad) of your website within 50 milliseconds, and its visual design could lead to a bad first impression. Here's the negative impact poor visual design has on a website.

The Impact of Bad & Poor Visual Design on a Website

A poor design could be related to:

  1. Logo placement (too big, too small, not following branding guideline)
  2. Fonts (too similar, too many, not readable)
  3. Imagery (too generic, no styling consistency, slow load times)
  4. Colors (not harmonious, lacks proper contrast)
  5. Overall layout (lacks gestalt principles, no rhyme or reason to element placement)
