From color choice to style, different elements add up\nto create a first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that bad design of website, or lack of design can\nhave potential customers closing the browser and seeking other businesses. As a\nresult, your company\u2019s design can affect several components of your digital\nmarketing strategy, and this is especially true of content\nmarketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is content marketing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Content marketing is the practice of publishing content\nthat does not directly advertise a company\u2019s product or brand, but generates\ninterest in those things by providing relevant and helpful information. Content\nmarketing as a strategy is one of the most important sub-strategies of search\nengine optimization (SEO). SEO is an affordable\nmarketing technique that allows you to appear higher in\nsearch results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How web design impacts content marketing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although these guides are primarily driven by content, Home\nDepot\u2019s web design impacts how users access and read them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessibility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important considerations in designing a\ncontent-heavy site is accessibility. If you publish informational content on\nyour site, it needs to be easy to find and read. Your navigation should allow\nusers to find the information they want, without clicking through pages of\nirrelevant content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a visitor has to dig through page after page to get to\nthe information they\u2019re searching for, they\u2019ll be likely to give up and visit another\nsite instead of staying in your site. Creating a straightforward navigation\nsetup with drop-down menu choices is a great way to help visitors to find what\nthey are seeking and access it quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appearance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors will make judgments about the quality and\ntrustworthiness of your content based on how professional your site looks. Even\nif your content is easy to find, the design can turn people away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your site looks outdated or is visually unappealing,\nusers may be hesitant to consider you a valuable resource. You need to have a\nclean design that illustrates your professionalism, and gives visitors\nconfidence that they can trust your advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Readability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with the overall look of your site, your text should\nbe visually appealing and easy to read. Too many fonts can be overwhelming and\nunprofessional, and you can typically stick to one font for titles and another\nfor body copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the right fonts and colors is essential for\nhelping your visitors read and comprehend your content. You might publish the\nmost helpful content available on a specific topic, but if your font color is\ntoo similar to your background, your visitors may not be able to read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your body copy also needs to be clean and large enough to\nbe read without struggle. These details all seem minor, but can have a major\nimpact on how effective your content marketing strategy is with potential\ncustomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprehension<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people are visual learners, and need graphics and\nphotos to fully understand new topics and information. This means it\u2019s\nessential to include visuals with all of your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of your industry, visual content like photos and\nvideos can help your potential customers get a better idea of how they can use\nyour products or services. From a design standpoint, this means that your\nsite\u2019s layout should work well with visual content, and make it easy for\nreaders to scroll through photos and watch videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designing a content-friendly website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\nThere are many different web design elements\nthat play a role in content marketing, but the bottom line is that your site\nshould be designed &nbsp;by keeping visitors\nand readers in mind. The easier it is for your visitors to find what they\u2019re\nlooking for, and the more enjoyable it is for them to read your content, the\nbetter results you\u2019ll see from your strategy\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The design a company chooses impacts how a potential consumer perceives them.
