How To Make Your Website Trustworthy And Professional

Digital Consultants • May 26, 2021

If you’re wondering how to make your website trustworthy and professional, then you’ll need to consider these points.

A company’s website can often be the first thing that a customer sees. Since it’s often a fundamental way of increasing brand presence and helps with marketing, a lot of effort should be put into it.

Some of the more fundamental areas that will need to be focussed on with your site are how trustworthy it is and whether it looks professional. Once these have been addressed, you will then have to determine whether your website is communicating your message effectively.

How do you make your website more trustworthy and professional? While you could always hire a professional, there are a few things that you can do.

How To Make Your Website More Professional

There are quite a few aspects involved in making a website look more professional. Given how fast things can change, it can often be hard to keep up. There are a few specific areas that you should focus on.


  • Use a mobile-focussed design. An increasing number of people browse the web using a smartphone or a similar device. These now seem to be the majority, which makes that audience a priority. Using a mobile-focussed design can ensure that the mobile version of your site is high-quality.  You’ll still have to pay attention to the desktop version, but that has slightly less emphasis.
  • Loading times are also a priority, regardless of mobile or desktop. Potential customers don’t want to wait too long. If they have to, they’ll go somewhere else, which makes this a mistake worth avoiding.
  • Keeping it simple can often be the recommended path to take. Adding a bit of excitement in certain areas adds enough to keep visitors engaged.


How To Make Your Website Trustworthy

Once you have it looking professional, you’ll be wondering how to make your website trustworthy. While this might seem overwhelming, there are a few things you should have, including:


  • A Reputable Domain: This should have a high-quality domain extension, such as .com.
  • An SSL Certificate: This is a certification that your website is secure and protected.
  • High-Quality Web Design: Your efforts in making your website look professional will cover this.
  • Trustworthy Content: The content itself on your website should be trustworthy and of high quality.


Let’s Talk Communication

Communication is vital to ensuring success in any business. When it comes to your website, it helps to increase trust while also generating sales leads. But how do you know that you’re communicating your story effectively? There are a few things to keep in mind.


First is that you should identify and refine your brand’s core values. These can be told to your audience, which will then be more attracted to your company if they share the same values. You’ll also need to tell a story; people engage with stories much better than straight facts.


This doesn’t need to be long-winded, however. Sometimes, keeping it simple and direct can be the best approach to take.


While figuring out how to make your website trustworthy and professional sounds complicated, it doesn’t have to be. Instead, it mainly needs time and effort. Like all good things in business, everything comes to those who put in the work.

Instagram Is Changing. Do You Know How It Will Affect You?

By Digital Consultants • May 24, 2022
There’s a new update coming to Instagram that could have a massive affect on the way you advertise. Stories have become one of the top viewed content delivery options on social media, which is why every network now has their own version. They have become a key strategy for product sales because of the ability they have for seamless product integration. They also have become extremely powerful because of the way it allows for a sense of community to be developed. Both are due to the fact that when you post on stories it’s easier to show BTS, which allows for people to 1. Feel as though they know you, and 2. Allows for easy subliminal advertising (having a product in the background etc.). So, what’s happening with stories…. They are being shortened. Basically, Instagram will “condense” all of your stories, only displaying your first 3, Unless you get your consumers to change their settings to “show all”. But since you are unable to ensure people remember to do this, just keep in mind to make your first 3 slides, the most powerful and influential.

Customer Service

By Digital Consultants • April 27, 2022
We all know having strong customer service is key for providing positive experiences for customers. But did you know it’s just as important to have a strong online customer service presence as it is in person? When people are investigating companies, brands. Services etc. they often do so by sending DM’s, or leaving comments under posts, and if you do not respond quickly (and warmly) then often they have moved on to someone else, and just like that you’ve lost a lead.

Why you Still Need a Website in the World of Social Media

By Digital Consultants • March 9, 2022
Social media is where everyone NEEDS to be nowadays. If you don’t have a social media platform, it will be difficult to connect with people. Without it, it’s hard to be discovered, and it’s hard to grow. Gone are the days when people searched their local phone book or directory to search for businesses nearby. Instead they do a quick search on Instagram or Facebook and base their decisions on your feed. Although they may make a choice based on social media posts, they still need a place to go to have all the information readily available. They shouldn’t have to search through your feed for posts on rates or prices, to get to know the staff or team, or to browse your products. You still need to have clean cut website that provides this information. Think of it this way: Instagram may be where you get creative to draw people in with your accomplishments, personality, and reviews, but your website is your catalogue.

The Importance of Colour in Marketing

TikTok is a hard field for many to navigate. The content needs to perform well in the first 3 seconds or else people keep scrolling, and your video stops being pushed. Instagram Reels are the same. Content needs tell a story, be fast moving, intriguing to the eye, and all under 10 seconds. The exception is when you are doing an informative video. These tend to be longer. For a typical Reel, or TikTok, however, stick to the above suggestions. This can seem like a steep undertaking, but a great way to accomplish this is to jump on trends. Use popular sounds, copy movements, and add your own info to make it work for your market. BAM! The result is a quick and easy video. If you aren’t active on your TikTok or Reels page you may struggle with finding the content to use for inspiration, but again, don’t worry! It’s easy to find! Just type key words associated to your niche and they will pop up! For example, “Social Media Tips”, “Social Media Manager”, “Mortgage Broker” etc. If you ever feel stuck, send us a message and we can help you get your creative hat on!
