Effective web design is one of the most important factors to consider if you have any sort of online business. Web design includes your website’s visual appeal as well as the ability to navigate easily within the site. Effective design minimizes costly errors and the need for a large support staff, thereby maximizing your profit in the long-run.

If your website is effectively designed to attract visitors by using good SEO practices and back linking, visual appeal and ease of use will keep these visitors on your page longer, and keep them coming back. If a website has annoying ads, hard-to-read text that is too big or small in strange fonts, images that don’t load properly, or irrelevant information, visitors will bounce out and not come back. Web users want reliable information, and if they are looking to buy a product, they want a site to look and feel trustworthy enough to enter in their credit card information.

Also important to website design is navigability. Users should be able to find what they want from your site quickly and easily. If they can’t, they will leave. Each sub-page should never be more than three clicks away from the home page.
