What are the 5 Golden Rules of a Website?

It’s hard to narrow down to 5-10 rules that should be applied to a website. There is a lot to be considered.

That being said, if we had to establish 5 golden rules of website design, they would be as follows:

• Focus on building everything around the prospective customer. The content, the verbiage you’re using, ease of use, primary communication method, etc. Content you create should be thorough, and resolve user problems or questions
• Be consistent. You don’t want pages to be formatted differently, it can confuse the user and harm conversion rate
• Make it fast. People are impatient and will go elsewhere if your site is moving slow.
• Communicate simply and make the conversion journey simple. More complicated/too many options=lower conversion rate
• Optimize on mobile. Most websites these days need to have a great mobile website, if it’s not tended to, you’ll  miss out on customers
