How Website Design Fits into a Marketing Strategy
Website design has changed dramatically over the past 20 years – even the past 5 years. What were once basically online brochures or yellow
page listings, they now have the capacity to house entire e-Commerce businesses. That makes them an essential element of any digital
marketing strategy.
Whether you’re starting your web design from scratch or redesigning an existing site, it’s important that the new site works in tandem with
your marketing strategy. It’s one of the best ways to ensure you deliver a seamless customer experience that keeps people coming back for
more.
Your website is often the first impression people get of your business. It’s also the place they return to for customer service or to
reorder. You want every experience they have to be an enjoyable one. That’s why a well-designed site starts long before you choose visuals
and create content. It involves setting out your goals, defining your target audiences, and building a consistent brand.
Web Design and Digital Marketing
Of course, all good website design is aesthetically pleasing but it must also employ strategic marketing techniques such as SEO (search
engine optimization). It starts with understanding the difference between the two concepts:
Web design means planning, creating, and updating websites as well as things like information architecture, user interface, layout, and
content.
Digital marketing includes advertising and other messaging delivered through digital channels such as search engines, social media, mobile
apps, email, and websites.
While web design is crucial to your marketing efforts, it’s one part of an overall digital marketing strategy and should complement your
other marketing efforts such as PPC (pay-per-click). A digital marketing agency that also understands the ins-and-outs of building a good
website can be one of your most valuable partners in staying ahead of the competition.
Digital Expertise Equals Exceptional Website Design
The search for a web design agency that fits the needs of your business doesn’t have to be overwhelming. The key is to find one that’s able
to create a customer-centric website designed to complement all your digital marketing efforts. Smart WSI Marketing is an Edmonton website
design company that’s committed to delivering extraordinary digital marketing and website design results. Contact us today to learn more
