Web Design Inspiration

At Smarter Searches, we do the occasional website redesign. Even when we don’t, we always recommend that in the grand scheme of growing your business and your presence on the web, it helps to have a beautiful and user-friendly website. We can do all the right things to help customers find your website, but a well-designed site helps keep customers active on your site once they find it. If you’re ready to commit to driving more traffic to your website, don’t forget to think about how your website looks and functions. Ultimately, that means more business for you and more growth for your business.

We are pretty good at recognizing and understanding what it takes to make a great website, but it’s always helpful when our customers have some ideas in mind. We encourage you to look around at websites you like to visit. What makes them successful for you? Can your site use similar concepts? Take those ideas and try to develop them in a way that applies to your business and website. What about your new ideas makes your business, products, or services stand out amongst your competitors?

Keeping these concepts in mind, we wanted to provide some inspiring websites and design ideas to get you started. Whenever you come across something you like, write it down, draw it, or print it out, and make sure to bring it with you anytime you are discussing your website with us or a design team. We would love to hear how you envision helping your business and its website grow!
