The Importance of Determining Your Target Audience Before Designing & Developing a New Website

Defining your target audience and sharing that with your website designer is crucial for your website to be effective. Designing a site to purposely fulfill the needs of your potential clients will result in more conversions rather than a website that looks great, but doesn’t accomplish the goals you have for your business. Three factors that will be easier to define once a target audience is determined are: Design: With a solid understanding of who your target audience is, the website design can be tailored to the people that are most likely to utilize your services or products. Things such as fonts and colors targeting a younger audience will be much different than when targeting an older demographic. Having the end goal in mind allows us to target the right people for your business. Content:  Along with design comes content which includes the words and images used throughout your new website. Making the right choices about what type of language and imagery will best communicate and connect with your intended audience is vital. You want to speak directly to the people that will take advantage of your services and products so your business can thrive and grow. Functionality: This includes all aspects of how the user interacts with your website. A younger demographic will find more complex features easier to navigate rather than someone that doesn’t have as much experience and background with technology. Suiting the usability of the site to your target audience will make your website better at converting those users. Here at Strategy 3 we can build a website that will directly target your intended audience so that your website is a tool for business growth rather than a useless web presence that doesn’t push your business to the next level. We would be happy to go over your target audience and determine a plan so that your new website is an asset for the future.
