When choosing a web development company there are many factors to consider. The best web development companies will offer professional services that consider website design from multiple angles. They will also be able to provide additional services to help with the performance of your website post-development. One such company to consider is Idea Maker.
5 Reasons to Choose Idea Maker
At Idea Maker, we provide fully customizable and original website designs to fit your requirements. We do this by following our outlined design process. It allows us to understand your style and refine your website’s design, meeting your expectations, and helping your vision become a reality.
When it comes to website design, however, there are other factors to consider besides just aesthetics. This includes speed, SEO and ADA compliance, all of which are discussed in this article and can be provided by Idea Maker. Here are 5 reasons why Idea Maker is the best web development agency for your needs.
1. Speed Optimization
40% of internet users will leave a webpage if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. Losing that many users means losing a high volume of potential sales. As a result, optimizing the speed of your website is imperative. Idea Maker has several methods for speed optimization during web development.
One such method is compression of libraries and images, and by delaying javascript animations. Smaller file sizes allow libraries and images to be downloaded from the hosting server faster. This results in quicker load times for both mobile and desktop users, with animations loading after the webpage has appeared. We also take advantage of data caching and CDNs for an extra smooth user experience.
Optimizing your website’s speed can result in reduced bounce rates, improved UX and even an increase in SERP rankings. With hand-coded web designs, and without templates, Idea Maker is a smart choice for a well-optimized website.
2. ADA Compliance
More than one out of four Americans are living with a disability and 90% will leave a website if it has poor accessibility. In order to reduce this bounce rate and provide a good user experience for disabled Americans, your website must comply with ADA.
The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) was instituted in 1990 to safeguard handicapped citizens. ADA protects everyone from those with cognitive disorders to physical disabilities, and, with its wide scope, can affect businesses both on and off-line.
At Idea Maker, we can ensure your website is ADA compliant through several simple design steps. For example, avoiding difficult to read fonts and formatting, as well as providing alt text on images for use with screen readers. There are, however, more complex design steps that may be taken, which you can read about on our 2022 Guide for Website ADA Compliance.
3. SEO Optimization
It’s great to have a website that looks good and functions well, but if it’s hard to discover, a high-quality design will go unnoticed. There are many ways to get your website seen by web users, one of which is on-site SEO. Employing a robust SEO strategy will help to increase your website’s SERP rankings, allowing it to appear higher in search results.
When developing websites here at Idea Maker, we take on-site SEO into account. We use informative meta descriptions and tags, as well as using up-to-date SEO practices. Generating the correct metadata for your site allows search engines to better gauge its relevance to user queries. Thus, delivering the website to the correct audience.
Once we’ve designed your website, we can provide an easy to use Content Management System (CMS). This can help you to keep your SEO performance high and allow us to continue supporting you post-development.
4. Mobile Optimization
54.8% of web traffic is generated by mobile users, so ensuring your website is optimized for mobile devices is imperative. At Idea Maker, we consider mobile users from the start of the design process, making certain your website is compatible with all platforms. As a result, each version of your site may function differently, meaning you essentially get multiple websites in one.
All our website designs are “mobile responsive”, meaning they adjust to the screen size of your device, whether mobile, tablet or desktop. This helps to improve mobile user experience, removing any design oddities such as image clipping or out of sync touch controls. Since we hand code our designs, bloatware is reduced, leading to timely mobile rendering and increased responsiveness.
What’s more, we take steps to ensure the site loads quickly on mobile devices. By loading Javascript animations last, mobile users don’t have to wait for the website to render before it appears.
At Idea Maker, we understand the importance of mobile compatibility. Thanks to our experience in mobile app development, we can provide a smooth UX and functional UI for mobile web users.
5. Additional Software Integration
From eCommerce to SaaS, through software integration, Idea Maker can develop a website that suits your complex business needs. Our experienced team can integrate your internal systems and APIs with your website, resulting in fully customizable web development.
Idea Maker’s use of intelligent software means we can develop bespoke tools for you to use alongside your website. This may include CMS, web traffic metric dashboards or customer payment portals. Software such as these can be tailored to your specific business requirements.
