The best website design is one that is able to convert the traffic from browsers to buyers. The problem is that every industry is different and therefore every web design is equally different. However there are some things that do work over and over again no matter what the topic.

1. For some reason a blue Buy Now Button will convert traffic better than a red one.

2. A Buy Now Button that is a little larger than the standard size seems to work best.

3. A disclaimer saying you want misuse their email address under a contact forum.

4. A light color blue or color grey as the background color.

The list of little changes that can make a big difference go on and on.

My point is that next time you’re looking for the best website design you need to understand that the little things you don’t really notice can make a big difference.

A good web design is one that converts traffic and makes a profit. The best web design is the one that is converting the most traffic.

I guess there are more “How to Get Rich” websites then there are websites actually selling a product.

The reason for this is most people do not know how to make money online so instead of building a website that sells a real product or service (something they are unable to do) they build websites that sell information on how to make money online.

If I said that 98% of all websites online are not making money, I’d feel like that number was too low.

The sad truth is that there a more people designing websites then there are people making money with their websites. Most Web designers use call centers, newspaper ads, yellow page ads, and other means of off-line advertising to drum up customers.

I am telling you this because I want you to understand that making a living online is not something easily done. It takes hard work and dedication or lots of money.
There are certain steps needed to make a living online and none of the step are more important than the next.

The first of course is the website design.

The purpose of the website design is to get the attention of the web visitor. When someone lands on the site you have 3 seconds to get their attention and keep them interested.

The website design does not need to be flashy, fancy or show off the talent of a Web designer however it does need to be clean, easy to navigate, easy-to-understand, quick to load and have a call to action that will guide the web visitor in the direction you want them to go.

It sounds like we are taking all the hard work out of the Web design by removing the fancy flashy look but that is far from the truth.

The color of the cart button, the background color, the placement of the call to action, the size of the logo, colors used on the site, text size, text color, font, phone number placement, content, and so much more will affect the reaction of the web visitor when they are on the site.

Other words, a truly affective website is an art unto itself.
