4 Steps to a More Credible Website

We all know how important a good website is to any business. It is a key component to reaching others online and one that can’t be ignored. What we often forget though is how important the image we portray on that site is. Are we putting our best foot forward with each and every visitor? Customers want a website that not only looks great but also lets them know that the business can be trusted. An effective website creates a good user experience while also building credibility with those who visit.

For a more credible website, follow these four steps:

Step 1. Include Your Physical Address and Central Phone Number
People want to know you’re real. Including a physical address and phone number lets people know you exist and can be reached if needed. It gives them confidence that they won’t be left high and dry should they need you.

Step 2. Have Your Site Professionally Designed
First impressions are everything. In fact, visitors judge a site within seconds of opening the page. You want to make sure they like what they see. A professionally designed website is often more attractive and aesthetically pleasing than one created by a novice.

Step 3. List Your Credentials
Few things speak louder than credentials and recognition awards. If you have stellar ratings with organizations such as the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List make sure to include them on the site. It is also important to list any licenses, professional organization affiliations, and earned degrees.

Step 4. Include Customer Testimonies
A business can say they’re great until they are blue in the face but when another customer says they are its golden. A good customer testimonial is the ultimate when it comes to winning over your customer’s trust. It provides a real world example of how you have met and exceeded your customers’ expectations.

Creating a website that not only looks great but is also well-received by others is no small feat. Grand Marketing Solutions can help design a professional website fit for your unique needs. We have assisted our customers in crafting sites to reach their customers wherever they are while helping them put their best foot forward online.

    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
