Real Estate Website Design Tips That Actually Convert Australian Property Buyers

November 23, 2024 by Peter Brittain in Lead Generation

As suggested by the top search, a potential buyer is perusing your house information while waiting for his or her coffee on the phone.

It takes them less than two clicks to access your website after they click on your listing. The pictures are the smallest possible.

Your contact form does not work properly at all The result? They bounce off the page of your so-very-slow website and head straight for your competitor’s beautifully designed site instead.

The Australian property market is a no-holds-barred battleground, and your website is now far more than just a digital business card; it’s your most powerful selling point. With 86% of home buyers using the internet to search for a property, your website design can make or break that all-important first impression.

Yet paradoxically there are still many real estate agents out there who are stuck with websites looking so much like they were created and forgotten back in 2010. Read More

Essential Elements of an Effective Small Business Website

October 23, 2024 by Peter Brittain in Web Design

So here’s the thing: small businesses need to provide their users with a relevant online experience if they want to continue to attract and engage their audiences online. Do you know why? This is because the average website user is busy and easily distracted. This is why business owners must incorporate modern website design principles into their websites.

You may wonder, what key objective does this achieve?

Well, first, it creates a good user experience and keeps the website ahead of the competition while connecting them directly to their customer base through social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

Without mincing words, it is common for small business owners to get confused because they need a website that generates leads and sales, but have little or no experience in web design and business. If you’re not a web design professional, that’s okay. In fact, most small business owners are not, which is why they work with a professional web development company like Slinky Web Design.

Every small business website should include several important elements in its web design strategy, and it’s helpful to familiarise yourself with the dos and don’ts. This will ensure that the website you create is suitable for your business. Read More

You are probably wondering why WordPress is such a popular choice for website owners. You’ll learn about the reasons in this article. Let’s start by understanding what a CMS platform is all about. Read More
