Rules for creating a website for a startup

When clients need guidance or a high-quality product, they may look to your business since you have an internet presence.

When investigating a product, many individuals spend a lot of time online researching both the product and the manufacturer. If a customer is making their first purchase from you and you have no presence online, they will view you as a dubious business. People don't purchase goods from dubious businesses, do they?

You might say, "I'm not going to invest a lot of money on my website," whether you run a mature or new business. Customers will come on their own because they are familiar with my business and offerings. Even yet, if you run a startup, your clients may not be familiar with you or your offerings, and there aren't many online reviews. A reliable and powerful internet presence is essential. How can this be done? Having an excellent website!

The following guidelines should be followed when building a website for your startup.

Competitors

A useful menu may be available at Firm A; you can copy it, modify it, and use it for your company. Send your developer Company B's website, which has a wonderful design and clear instructions.

What can be concluded from this?

- Understand your competitors.

- Utilize the advantages of your rivals' websites on your own.

- Include anything your readers would find useful.

Fonts and colors

We all adore the contrast between the gold fonts and the green background, I believe.

It's time to select a color scheme that complements the primary color you've chosen for your website. By selecting a color scheme, you may avoid making the green and gold error that any inexperienced designer would commit.

By doing this, you can ensure that your design is pleasing to the eye and that users have a positive browsing experience.

Rule "F"

You must not even consider using the offensive F-word. Websites and design are the subject of this discussion. More and more studies suggest that website visitors prefer to read text that begins with the letter "F." Beginning at the top left of the screen, they read the first few paragraphs of the content before lowering their gaze. As they go along, they start to pay less and less attention to the right side of the screen, particularly while looking at the bottom of the page.

As a result, we must make the following deductions. Try tailoring your website design to your visitors' reading preferences rather than attempting to change their reading preferences. The left side of the screen should contain the most crucial details. The least significant is lower on the page and to the right.

Mobile devices

According to Smart Insight, in recent years, mobile devices have more than doubled Internet usage on PCs. In the US, mobile devices were used 71% of the time, twice as much as PC usage. And that's not all, in Indonesia usage rises to 91%. This means that 9 out of 10 minutes users spent online were using mobile devices. Ten years ago, who would have thought we were here? Are PCs gradually becoming obsolete products?

In order for you to take full advantage of these changes in consumer behavior, you need a fully responsive website. Transform your voluminous website into one that is mobile-friendly and user-friendly. So that you have a limited budget, I would recommend that you do it yourself.

Technical issues

A very attractive car with a bad engine will not attract attention. It should work as smoothly as it seems. To do this, you need to call your developer friend, he has something to work on.

Here's what you need to focus on in order to have a website with outstanding back-end performance:

- Smooth and simple lines of code

- Hosting

- Robots.txt

- XML sitemap

- Broken links

- 301 and 302 redirects

- Meta descriptions and alternative tags

- Internal link structure

This is one of the most basic aspects that you should consider when checking the performance of your site. A good web developer will be able to offer you comprehensive information on this issue and improve your user experience.
