Safety First
It is imperative that businesses are conscientious about their employee and clientele safety. Are you limiting the number of people allowed in your building? How are you following the CDC guidelines for cleanliness? Get the message out on your website of what you are doing to ensure safety so your customers know what to expect before they even walk through the door. Popups, banners, and special pages can be added to make information clear and easy to find. Your website can also help you go contactless. Sell gift cards for future sales, encourage people to order and pay online for curbside pickup or contactless delivery.
Is your website user friendly?
In today’s digital society your website is the forefront of your online presence. The design sets the first and lasting impression of your brand and showcases your content. Clean, visually appealing design and quality content will help you stand out from the crowd and intuitive design will help keep your customers coming back. Intuitive design is created with thoughtful organization, functional navigation, and fast loading pages. If your website isn't user friendly you could be losing business! As communities begin to resume, it is going to be more critical than ever for a user to be able to easily find information such as your new hours, policies, available products, and reservation options.
Do you have an online reservation platform or online store? Depending on your industry either option can be crucial to maintaining operation while also adhering to capacity and social distancing guidelines in a way that is more streamlined for you, your employees, and your patrons. With options like OpenTable you can set the maximum amount of reservations and party size for your space. Strong websites focus on their client's needs; what impact do you want to make and is your website helping you achieve it?
