Due to the propagation of the Internet from the early 1990s to the present day, having a website for professional use is one of the most important aspects to running a successful business. Most companies now have their own websites or, at the very least, attempted to build one. With the countless number of websites all vying for attention, it’s necessary to find a unique strategy that adds variety to your content while also distinguishing your business from the competition. Some keep the design simple, with tabs that link to various services and simple pictures that show what they do. Others have complex wheels of links intended for guests to navigate a large assortment of resources which most likely include videos and certificates proving brand authenticity.

Whatever method a company prefers, having an effective website is very important. However, the key is to have a website design scheme that is easy to navigate. If guests who visit your website find it too cluttered or so simple that it becomes too difficult for them to do much of anything, they might lose interest in your company simply out of pure frustration.

A site lacking professionalism is also a turn off: if the design looks like a child drew it using crayons, most of your potential customers might be a little suspicious of your company's commitment to quality and integrity. Thematic presentation should always be considered. For example, if your business is a florist, running a website that has a mechanical feel doesn't make your potential customers feel at home. Maintaining a strong level of interesting content, along with a great layout, will give your visitors reason to return. If your website is filled with nothing but words and a logo, consider adding a few pictures and even a video for variety.

The key to simplifying navigation is to use a color palette that is easy on the eyes and a design that clearly shows where everything is.
