Websites For Start-Ups 

So you have the perfect business idea, you want to get started and tell the world about your new business.  One of the first things most people consider is a website.

Website Design Looks Easy On TV

With lots of TV Adverts from the likes of Wix, Godaddy and IONOS telling us its easy to get cheap hosting and do it ourselves.  However, it is important to remember for commercial reasons these businesses need a regular supply of customers willing to pay for high margin slower cheap hosting based on older technologies. 

Whenever these businesses report to the stock exchange its about net new customers, whilst they provide basic tools for success they will rarely mirror the quality, speed or user engagement of a professionally designed website.  

Are All Website Designs Mobile Friendly?

Unfortunately the vast majority of websites for start-ups are not mobile friendly for a variety of reasons, including the speed of pages loading, a design that doesnt adapt to the device your using, and poor background programming that causes errors on browsers.

Websites for Start-ups – How Fast Should A Website Load?

Hundreds of studies have been carried out regarding the drop off in conversion rates for e-commerce websites where each 1 second delay in loading the page, reduces the conversion rate by one percent.  

This potentially does not sound too bad if all your traffic was free, however with google shopping averaging 25p per click and the best performing sites only getting 5 sales for every £25 spent on advertising it can really start to hit the profitability of your business, if that dropped to 2 sales for every £25.

The unknown quantity is the reputational damage to your brand, customers are increasingly impatient about load speeds, some customers may never give you another opportunity if they have a slow experience on the first visit.
