Your website serves as your "shop window," so make it as attractive as possible.

How often have you entered a store only because of the window display? You have probably experienced this quite frequently, which only serves to emphasise the importance of initial impressions.

High street retailers will love this, but what about those who operate online? Always consider your website as a digital storefront. The pages, especially your home page, are in charge of making a wonderful first impression and luring customers to check out your inventory.

In order to ensure that your website attracts as many visitors as possible to see what you have to offer, just like a window display, it is crucial to ensure that it looks its best.

We've compiled our website optimisation advice to assist you in getting the most out of your virtual display.

1. Regularly update your webpageNot routinely updating the goods in window displays is one of the biggest errors a company can make. This prevents the display from getting stale and static. Websites are also affected by this.

Of course, bringing in new clients is the major objective, but you also want to avoid boring your regular clients with the same old text and images.

You can ensure that people regard you as a dynamic company with something to say by frequently updating and modifying both your photos and text. Along with this, you can also see an increase in your Google ranking.

2. Change the imagery on your Homepage

The simplest way to think about this is to compare it to how window displays are themed around specific occasions and times of year. Easter, Valentine's Day, and even events like the Olympics. You may make a window display that is timely and more likely to be appealing by embracing it.

The similar strategy can be used for your website. Making a few minor aesthetic adjustments to your website at a certain period of the year will allow you to freshen up its appearance and perhaps even attract some new visitors.

3. Always keep your target audience in mind

Any successful marketing strategy should be customised to your target market's demands and interests. Your virtual window display is the same. The kind of homepage you have will largely depend on your industry and target market.

Think about your consumers' ideals as well as your own when choosing the design of your website. Do they want a website that can simply deliver or are they searching for something exquisite and beautiful? This will help you ensure that your website is appealing.

4. Stand out from the crowd

While it is important to appeal to your target audience, this does not mean you have to look exactly like the other businesses that are out there providing similar services to yours. Why don't you, in fact, show courage and stand out from the crowd.

Make sure your customers can identify what sets you apart from the competition by embracing what makes you unique. In this manner, they are more likely to choose your display over those of other businesses.

Kevin has been working in the creative industry for the last thirty five years and in that time has seen an enormous technological and cultural change. He has a thorough and in-depth experience of all design practices and an encyclopaedic knowledge of logo and corporate identity spanning many years.

Although nearly all commercial design work is now digitally produced, it still originates as an idea or concept and begins as a few lines sketched out on paper using good old fashioned pens or pencils. Kevin uses state-of-the-art hardware, software and lots of coffee, to enable the creation and development of these nascent ideas to become fully formed and pixel perfect. From branding through to video development for social media at Carvill we have found that the key to good design, and ultimately client satisfaction, is being able to share a rapport and empathy with our clients translating their requirements into tangible and engaging assets.
