Every time I visit agency websites I see websites that immediately reassure you whereas others leave it hard to work out what it is they really do. It made me wonder what makes the best digital marketing agency websites different.
First of all: clarity. In a matter of seconds, someone who comes across the website should be able to understand what an agency does, with whom and how it can help. However, the creative design should never get in the way of navigating the page or make things unclear.
I also believe that tangible results are very persuasive. Having case studies, clients' testimonials and past projects to demonstrate allows the potential customer to understand what an agency is capable of achieving. Instead of promising everything they should show the potential customer what has been achieved for other businesses by following their marketing plan.
Website performance. No one likes to wait for couple of seconds for a website to load- we're used to frantically tapping a page to load when we're using the mobile website. A good loading time, readable content, clearly displayed service pages, and a simple contact form all help.
I've also observed that with the really good agency websites, they're projecting their personality in the way they're communicating through the content and design. Some are really bold design-wise, others go for a clean, professional look. There's not one style that fits all. What's more important is whether the site is right for their audience and why they want to make that next step.
I'm interested to know others' thoughts on this. When you visit agency sites, are you drawn to the design, the portfolio, the services or the results?
Can you name a few agencies that do this well? It would be great to give some suggestions to people that are looking into web design & digital marketing.
