Many people also DIY to save dollars too.  Whether you are working with a professional or going DIY make sure you include these 7 features your website should have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to designing a website, there are certain features that make your website more likely to get visitors and convert those visitors to clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are seven features every website should have, no matter what kind of website and business you have.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);background-color:var(--global-palette8, #F7FAFC);border-top-left-radius:6px;border-top-right-radius:6px;border-bottom-right-radius:6px;border-bottom-left-radius:6px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-table-of-contents-title{color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-toggle-icon-style-basiccircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-toggle-icon-style-basiccircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-toggle-icon-style-arrowcircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-toggle-icon-style-arrowcircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-toggle-icon-style-xclosecircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_206dca-ab .kb-toggle-icon-style-xclosecircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before{background-color:var(--global-palette8, #F7FAFC);}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 Features your Website should have<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feature #1. Contact Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s surprising how many businesses forget to put their contact information on the main page of their website. If you want people to contact you, be sure to put your contact information somewhere visitors will see it easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add a clickable call or email button to make it clear and easy how your customers can reach you. Don\u2019t make your customers have to work to reach you. Include visible, easy-to-use contact forms on every page so your customers have no barriers to contacting you. You can even include a live chat feature that allows your client to send you their contact information directly from your website so that you can help them during business hours or contact them back when you\u2019re back in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to contact information, don\u2019t forget to include links to your social media profiles. Many potential customers will begin their relationship with your business by following you on social media before committing to giving you their information. Don\u2019t underestimate the importance of social recognition and social proof in establishing your business as a trustworthy entity worthy of your prospective clients\u2019 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feature #2. Subscription Forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let your potential customers remain just visitors to your website. Encourage them to subscribe to your email newsletter so you can continue to communicate with them.  Welcome Series other Email Sequences can be automated using FluentCRM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>List-building is an essential part of any business. Adding subscription forms to your website allows you to convert curious onlookers to potential paying customers and gives you a list of leads that are already warmed up to your offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feature #3. Mobile Optimisation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/277125\/share-of-website-traffic-coming-from-mobile-devices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">half of all web traffic<\/a> is viewed on mobile devices. If your website isn\u2019t fully accessible by mobile devices, you could be missing out on a lot of potential clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your website should look good and function perfectly on mobile devices. If customers see a site that\u2019s glitchy, hard to read, or looks unprofessional, they\u2019re going to click away and visit your competitor\u2019s page instead.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feature #4. Minimalist Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want a fancy website with all the bells and whistles, but your site will look confusing and cluttered if you cram all those extras onto every page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to modern-day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agencyatlantic.com\/escort-website-design\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"9405\">web design<\/a>, less is more, and your Mobile UX (user experience) is crucial as many people view your website via their mobile device rather than a computer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you view your website on your smartphone. If it\u2019s a busy, cluttered mess, your customers won\u2019t be able to focus on the pages you want them to see. A clean and simple design makes it easy for clients to find what they\u2019re looking for on your site. If they can&#8217;t find the information they want, many will move on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feature #5. SEO Optimisation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is crucial for bringing visitors to your site. Ranking high in search engine results should be a top priority for your web design. Factors such as writing headings and meta descriptions with SEO in mind and using keywords can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other essential SEO factors include the content you place on your site, the keywords and keyword phrases you use, and the concise Uniform Resource Locator (URL) structure. If you aren\u2019t confident using SEO strategies, consider working with an SEO professional.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feature #6. A Blog<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will a blog help with SEO, but it can also help you establish credibility and show your unique personality to your potential clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill your blog with unique, relevant information that your visitors can use. Your blog isn\u2019t just a chance for you to fill your website with content. It\u2019s also a great source of marketing for your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share blog posts to social media and send links to posts to your email newsletter subscribers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more visibility each post gets, the more people will be drawn to your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just ensure you\u2019re posting relevant content, or you\u2019ll likely find that you won\u2019t convert visitors to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feature #7. Speed and Functionality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People are impatient, and they\u2019ll click away if your site isn\u2019t quick and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prettiest, most polished website in the world is of no use to you if it doesn\u2019t load correctly or takes ages to load. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If images take ages to load, or if you have lots of broken links or dead pages, it\u2019ll only result in a frustrating experience for your visitors. Make sure your website is performing as it should, or it could cost you in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are studies that show that many people will not wait longer than 3 seconds for a website to load on a mobile. If your website is slow you are probably losing $0s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work with Atlantic and your website will be amazing!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Agency Atlantic is a boutique web agency that prides itself on digital marketing and WordPress web development that not only looks good and is technically awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst you can use your marketing budget on paid advertisements and spend all day every day on social media, that can be an expensive, time-consuming route that does not necessarily bring the kind of web traffic you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are countless marketing tactics and strategies out there all claiming to give you overnight success, but it\u2019s all BS.
