If your company is already at a new stage of development and is in the website creation phase, it is important to know how to distinguish between good and bad websites. Website quality is not measured by visuals; the main evaluation criteria focus on user experience, site loading speed, SEO optimization, and real results.
In this blog, you will learn simple ways that you, as a client, can distinguish a good WordPress website from a bad one.
1. First Impression – Design
When entering a website, the first impression is created by its design. Within the first 5 seconds of loading, the user should see that the site is comfortable and adapted for them. A clean, simple, and optimized modern design is pleasant to the eye, which bad websites definitely do not feature. A website that is not its best version has complex navigation, is not properly adapted for mobile version, and does not feature refined design.
2. Speed and Loading Time
Along with design, the loading speed greatly influences the user’s decision to stay or leave the website. A good website loads quickly, its images are optimized and it is not overloaded with unnecessary plugins, while a bad one, on the contrary, has excessive, unnecessary functionality, does not feature loading speed and good hosting.
3. SEO Optimization Level
For a technically sound website to reach the user, proper SEO is necessary. A good website has structured URLs, titles, meta descriptions, SEO-friendly texts, while an incorrectly created website sometimes has neither meta descriptions nor a proper URL system.
4. Reliability and Security
For a client, one of the main indicators of a well-built website is security. A good, properly built website necessarily has an SSL certificate, is constantly updated and uses security plugins, however in the case of a bad website, security is less protected or not protected at all.
Your business image, sales, and user experience depend on the quality of your website. If your desire is to have the best website, make sure of its speed, SEO friendliness, security, and user adaptation.
