How a Great Design Impacts Clients and Your ROI
Web visitors form their first impression of a law firm website in roughly 50 milliseconds. Here is how design quality directly affects conversion rates.
Web visitors form initial impressions of websites in approximately one twentieth of a second. Users frequently click away from highly-ranked sites within moments due to poor design and disorganization.
Five Primary ROI Factors
1. Development Cost
Initial design and creation expenses form the ROI foundation. A site built correctly the first time costs less over its lifetime than one that requires constant patches.
2. Maintenance Cost
Hosting, advertising, content marketing, and blogging investments all compound.
3. Website Traffic
Search engine performance combined with marketing efforts drive visitor volume.
4. Conversion Rate
Design quality directly converts visitors into clients. A site that loads fast, reads clearly on mobile, and makes it easy to call or email the firm will outperform a beautiful-but-slow site every time.
5. Website Shelf Life
Well-planned sites remain effective for five years or longer.
