15 Web Design Principles for a Customer-Friendly Website

Building a new site? ✨ Watch this first... 👀

Imagine walking into a retail store to look for some new work clothes. You notice stains on the floor, disorganized shelves, and a strange odor as you look around. Would you stay in the store and buy from the retailer?

Store design influences how customers behave — the same is true of websites.

A survey of 612 people by Clutch found that 83% of participants notice when a website’s design is aesthetically pleasing and up-to-date. Alternatively, 50% of participants would leave a website forever if they believe the content is irrelevant or doesn’t meet their needs.

So, how do you design a website customers will like?

That’s what this video is all about. We’ll show you why good web design is essential and share 15 web design principles you can leverage to build a high-quality website.
