How Credible Is Your Website?
In nearly every prior Web Design Wednesday blog post, we�ve discussed how the topical feature or suggestion would serve the underlying purpose of building your online credibility.
Cultivating the credibility of your website is important because in the current age, the online image of your company will be the most prominent and easily accessible representation of you available to prospective customers. Not only do their initial impressions of your website matter, but also the ways in which they perceive and respond to it long term, because this ultimately makes the difference between your enterprise establishing itself as a leader or getting passed over for competitors.
In fact, you may even find yourself questioning the various tips we share in this Los Angeles website design blog every week and wondering how credible and effective they actually are.
If you�re still finding yourself a little skeptical of my own words, take a look ...

We've all heard the adage, "Nobody ever learned anything from a compliment."
Well, this can also apply to determining how to optimize your business website.
One of the most helpful ways to avoid web design mistakes is to recall your own visits to sites that already made them and ended up putting you through a less than convenient browsing experience you don't want your own visitors to endure.

Have You Ever Thought About What Keeps You Interested in A Website You Are Browsing?
Put in another way, what content really helps to sell you on a provider or seller�s quality?
