Good first impressions have a Priming effect on the satisfaction of potential clients. Think about it, if a potential customer likes what your website looks like. Chances are they are going to do business with you faster than the cookie cutter website that looks like everyone else\u2019s or is free. A lot of business\u2019s fail into this trap where they go for a free build your own website style. Not realizing they are saving at that present time but they will not make more money from a cookie cutter website or an outdated one. A website is similar to a car you must change they oil or in this case update your site yearly ideally every six months.

We at MetaSense have even noticed a difference in a websites performance do to the colors used in a website theme. Let\u2019s call it the Color Effect. In websites with darker themes they generate more traffic by 2% then a lighter colored theme. Darker themes get a 44.4% bounce rate while Lighter colored themes get 46.2% bounce rate. With darker colors people stay longer on the sites by 3.18%. Dark colors have helped business grow by 2% where as lighter colored websites have seen growth of 1.3 percent. None of this is concrete but it\u2019s an interesting thing to think about when pick your colors to use as a theme for your business.<\/p>\n

Your site\u2019s Layout strongly depends on the field of expertise or product your company has to offer. Here is some important layout percentages for you to keep in mind while giving your web design company the info on how you would like your site to look and function. User like seeing capitol letters the proper use of this can almost double how much time they spend on your site. When it comes to product list\u2019s user\u2019s will look at and read a bulleted list longer then they would a none bulleted list by 70%. User\u2019s scan a website with their eyes moving in the shape of a capitol F. So nine times out of ten you want to have your sidebar on the left side. So your pages and most pushed product\u2019s will be exposed first.<\/p>\n\n
Other interesting things about the science of layouts are that 63% of fortune 500 websites put content above their fold. 50% have a scrolling content window and more than 80% use high quality images. So once again I\u2019m going to say this if you are using a free website theme or a website deal that is cheap but your site looks the same as everyone else stop it, and contact a real web design company like us at MetaSense.<\/p>\n
