By now everyone knows that professional websites are the foundation for any internet marketing campaign and all of the various strategies that come with it. If you’re building a professional website yourself, you’re probably up to your ears in tips, tricks, jargon, and information about how to figure out what you’re doing. If you’re not ready to give up and hire a service to do it for you, here are a few super basic tips to get you started.
Use a Readable Font
An important part of web design is making sure that people can read the information presented on your website. It might be the most valuable information for your potential customer, but if he or she can’t read it then it really doesn’t matter. Avoid using busy or hard to read fonts. Stick to something clean and simple (sans serif fonts like Arial are good for this). Additionally, make sure that the size is neither too big (which takes up space) nor too small (which people can’t read).
Pay Attention to Navigation
Another aspect of a quality vet website is that it is easy to use. People don’t want to take the time to figure out how to use your site, and they know they don’t have to. More than three quarters of people between the ages of 18 and 34 use search engines to find a vet, and when they do your website will not be the only one in the search results. Try putting a horizontal navigation bar across the top of all of the pages on your website to make things easier.
Optimize for Mobile
The last aspect of a quality vet website that we’ll talk about here is that it’s optimized for mobile. Mobile browsing is expected to surpass that done on desktop computers, so it’s likely that more and more potential customers are going to be viewing your website on some sort of device. If your website isn’t adaptable and easily read and navigated on any size screen, your customer probably isn’t going to spend a lot of time on your site.
