Design for People: Marketing Tip #29 of 100

Real Estate Internet Marketing - 100 Tips in 100 Days

Tip 29 of 100 - Design for People

Design is largely a subjective topic. We all have our own design-related preferences and opinions. But when it comes to website design -- specifically, real estate web design -- design becomes more of a business decision than a personal one.

Whenever you're making a design change to your real estate website, the questions you should always ask are:

  1. Will this change help my visitors accomplish their goals?
  2. Will this design change support my primary website goals (lead generation, for example)?
  3. Is this design change in keeping with website usability standards? Or will it confuse people?

Design and usability go hand in hand. A well-designed website increases the chance that visitors will follow the path you want them to follow, and take the actions you want them to take. On the other hand, a poorly designed website can frustrate visitors and reflect poorly on the website owner.
