A messy website is one way to quickly lose a potential customer. If you imagine your website like a room in a house, you can imagine how hard it would be to find something if that room was full of boxes haphazardly stacked on top of one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your website visitors don\u2019t want to walk into a cluttered room, especially when looking for a solution to their problem. They want to see the answer loud and clear in front of them and to take as little effort as possible to get there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go through 5 ways to declutter your website and engage more visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Simplify your menu –<\/b> An overloaded menu only serves to be confusing, overwhelming, and a waste of your visitor’s time. Streamline your available options, and label them clearly with simple descriptions. You don\u2019t need to have every option visible, only the ones that matter the most. Prioritize what you want your navigation menu to show with your most important offerings with the most visibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Allow white space to breathe –<\/b> White space helps break content into easily digestible pieces. It also assists in highlighting important elements on your website, such as a headline, infographic, or CTA. Not allowing sufficient space between content areas can have the same effect as a cluttered menu. It becomes too visually busy and results in a confused, frustrated, or bored visitor.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Use images sparingly –<\/b> Don\u2019t go overboard with your images, even if they\u2019re amazing. Images are far more effective when used sparingly and for a specific purpose. If you fill your homepage with too much imagery, it detracts from the message you\u2019re trying to share with your visitors. Ensure those images are optimized, too, so you don\u2019t accidentally slow down your website speed.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Use valuable content only –<\/b> If your content isn\u2019t conveying value to a potential customer, you don\u2019t need it on your website. Sometimes, it helps to revisit old content and check if it\u2019s still relevant or needs updating. It might even be more effective if it\u2019s edited down. Make sure that you make high-quality content a priority. High-quality content is clear, concise, and easy to read<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
  5. Dial back the colors –<\/b> While lots of bright, exciting colors are certainly very interesting, they won\u2019t help your visitor to make a decision about your product or service. This doesn\u2019t mean you need to choose boring, uninspiring colors for your website, but you should consider using them in a more minimal way. For example, bright pinks and oranges make great accent colors or buttons, while neutral colors work well as a background.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
