Web Design
Are you wasting money on advertising because your website doesn’t convert?
According to research, 88% of website visitors will leave a site if the user experience is poor, and they may never return. This means that even if your marketing is perfect and brings in traffic, bad design is still sending away 9 out of 10 possible customers.
As a leading web design company in Kochi, Inter Smart has been working with a different method. Treating web design and marketing as not two disconnected services, but rather mixing them right from the start. Let’s get into that process in detail.
Why do most companies fail at this integration?
The traditional model is broken. Companies hire one agency for web design and another for marketing. The designers built a beautiful website. The marketers then try to drive traffic to it. But no one has considered whether this website will actually convert.
This leads to predictable problems:
Designers prioritise aesthetics over SEO. Large images that kill loading times. Fancy animations that Google can’t crawl. No meta tags or structured data.
Marketing campaigns go nowhere. You run a Facebook ad for a specific product. The ad is perfect. But the link leads to the homepage with 20 different offers. The user is confused and leaves.
Conversion elements are completely missing. No clear calls to action. Forms that are too complicated. No trust signals like reviews or testimonials. The website is a dead end.
Inter Smart solves these problems by treating web design and marketing as an integrated strategy. Not two separate projects.
How to combine design and marketing?
The process doesn’t begin with design. It begins with strategy.
1. Understand your business and your goals
Before making a single design decision, ask these questions:
- What are your business goals? (More leads, More sales, Brand awareness)
- Who is your target audience? What are their pain points?
- What does your customer journey look like?
- What is your competition doing?
These answers determine everything: layout, content, features, and marketing channels.
2. Design with conversion in mind
Every single element within the design has its own significance. The use of colours is not only for their beauty but also to direct the viewer’s attention towards the action to be taken.
The arrangement of elements is not only for the purpose of making the site look pleasant, but it also directs the user to behave in a certain way.
The writing is not just a matter of putting words on paper; it also provides solutions to people’s queries and creates a bond of trust.
The following conversion principles that we highly value are:
- Above the Fold: The most crucial data can be seen instantly without any scrolling.
- Obvious Value Proposition: In just 5 seconds, users will be able to grasp your offer and the reason why they should select you.
- Visual Hierarchy: The most important elements are the ones that are the most visible.
- Social Proof: reviews, testimonials, and the showing of customer logos are the means to build trust.
- Frictionless CTAs: the buttons are super noticeable, they are inviting to be clicked, and therefore, they are very obvious.
3. Integrate SEO from the very beginning
Good SEO needs to fit right into the plan from day one – build it in early, or things get messy later.
Technical SEO: Fix loading speed right away – use a clean layout for phones, set up simple page links, and also add clear site tags.
On-page SEO: Tweak each page’s title plus meta description to fit its topic. Use headers that make sense while slipping keywords in naturally – don’t pile them high. Keep things smooth so it feels normal, not forced.
Content Strategy: Create useful content people actually want – then optimise it so Google can find it. Use blogs, sales pages or item write-ups, but map them out first.
4. Create marketing-specific landing pages
Different marketing campaigns need different landing pages.
A Google Ads campaign targeting “CRM software” works best with a landing page using that same phrase – highlighting perks while guiding visitors toward trying a demo. Instead of vague terms, focus on clear wins; swap generic claims for real value so users feel it’s worth their time. Use short sections to keep attention, linking each idea smoothly without dragging on too long.
A Facebook ad pushing a limited-time deal calls for a landing spot featuring a ticking clock, showing the price cut plainly, and also keeping sign-up smooth. While crafting this page, include urgency through numbers dropping fast, highlight how much cash folks save right away, and then guide them simply toward buying without fuss.
For a LinkedIn campaign focusing on B2B, you will have to focus on a landing page with some case studies. Throw in some ROI data or even a full-fledged ROI calculator and add a contact form for consultation.
Each campaign should come with a custom landing page of its own if these campaigns are different from each other.
5. Continuously measure, analyse, and optimise
After starting a business, it’s not all done and dusted.
Set up full-time tracking – Google Analytics, heatmaps, session logs, and conversion monitoring. After that, we check if the numbers show,
Which pages convert best?
Where do users leave the site?
Which marketing channels generate the most valuable leads?
Which CTAs are clicked, and which are ignored?
Based on this data, conduct A/B tests. Test headlines, button colours, layouts, and content. And continuously improve.
Why this approach works
The digital world has become complex. Users expect seamless experiences. They want fast websites, relevant content, and easy navigation. If one component is missing, the entire experience falls apart.
Imagine this: Your Google Ad is perfect. The user clicks. But the landing page takes 10 seconds to load. They’re gone. Or your website ranks on page 1. Users come. But they don’t find a clear call to action. They leave the page again.
Every weakness costs you money. Inter Smart eliminates these weaknesses by strategically planning and integrating every element.
