trust in websites

First off, apologies if this post is confusing or does not sound right at time. I am currently very sick, so I hope it is not to bad!

I want to talk today about trust in websites. This is a very important aspect when designing your website because if a person does not trust it then what is to make them stay on your page or, if you are trying to sell something, buy anything from you. One way to achieve trust is to make your website look good and up to date. I have been to many sites that looks like they are from the ’80’s making me think, if the creator has not taken the time to update his site then why should I bother looking at it! Also sites that are hard to navigate do not seem very trust worthy to me. It I have to dig and dig to find what I am looking for then I will most likely stop looking before I get to far. 

A positive past experience will also have me going back to the site. If I liked it the first time around then I know I will like it the second, if not like it even more.


We need to pay attention when designing a page, the slightest thing will give a person a bad experience and make them not want to return. So before you hit publish make sure you know your audience and know that they will like what they see and keep coming back!!!
