web design trust

If building a relationship is the key to sales success, then trust is the foundation. We know that trust is essential in making a sale, especially if you’re a new business. Here are 4 ways you can build trust through your website.

Faces

Human faces are very powerful. They elicit an emotional response. A study titled Efficiency, Trust and Visual Appeal: Usability Testing through Eye Tracking has shown that visitors find images of people on websites more visually appealing than non-people images, and the ‘trust rating’ was significantly correlated with images of people and faces.

It seems like everybody is starting a blog nowadays. Lawyers, window blind sellers, web designers. Everyone and their mother is launching a blog on their website. And for good reason. A blog allows you to reach your audience on a regular basis. It increases your visibility. It allows you to position yourself as expert in your field, and so much more. 

Quality, consistent blog posts can be used as one of your strongest online marketing tools. I have seen it in other businesses. Businesses with email-lists in the thousands, where 20% of their audience opens their blog posts every other week. Where their blogs remind hundreds, if not thousands of people of their services and that they still exist.
