3 Reasons Mobile Website Design is Important for Your Business

A picture is worth a thousand words is an old recognizable saying. Many ideas, sentences and even feelings can be formed by examining a single image. But could someone say the same about a font? 

The answer is a resounding yes!

Aesthetic fonts are used in marketing and have a remarkable psychological effect on the brain. Here, we’ll discuss exactly what we mean by that and how that may influence your website design choices. 

The Perception Of Aesthetic Fonts 

Let’s think back a moment to a large brand we’ve all grown up with: Disney.

It’s argued Walt Disney doesn’t have an easy-to-read brand name. The “D” and the “Y” both appear to be different letters (a reverse G and a handwritten P respectively). However, this proves the substance of a font is more significant than its legibility. 

So why may you ask does Walt Disney advertise to children with overly complicated, difficult-to-read script font? This leads to the design theory known as the Gestalt Principles of Design. Essentially, similar to a movie marquee with lights, a person perceives the sum of a design as being greater than its parts. As such, it appears lights travel along a theatre display marquee although the lightbulbs are merely sitting in place and are timed to illuminate. 

Are children reading each letter of the aesthetic font of Disney? No. They look at the entire word as a whole and place meaning behind it. Meaning such as curiosity, adventure, laughter, family, nostalgia and other emotional values we hold dear. 

Using The Correct Aesthetic Font For My Marketing

Any font style is broken into 2 meanings: 

• Visual Language: The meaning that is perceived visually by the typeface.
• Verbal Language: What the words typed mean. 

These two meanings support one another while creating marketing copywriting and messages. Below, we’ll break down an introduction to some basic font styles and how they are perceived by society. 

Serif

Serifs are aesthetic fonts embodied in tradition and heritage. While reading serif fonts, audiences feel that the writer is traditional, reliable, practical, and respectable. The readers feel comforted as these fonts are easy on the eyes and are commonly used in printed materials, titles logos, and some website text bodies. Examples include Georgia, Times, and Baskerville.

Sans Serif

The mood emitted from sans serif fonts is straightforward. To readers, sans serifs are clean, simplistic and modern. Brands who use these fonts generally speak for themselves, are objective and have nothing to hide behind. 

At our agency, we find sans serifs are the most legible and are commonly the best for website design. Great examples are Product Sans, Futura, and Helvetica. 

Script 

The graceful script fonts are pleasing when your brand emits elegance and affection. Scripts are fittingly found on Valentine’s Day cards in stores (Scripts are also called handwritten fonts for a good reason). Wedding products and services especially use Script as an aesthetic font for invitation cards or even for wedding planners. They give off warm, delicate personalized and even expensive characteristics. Beautiful Script fonts include Buttermilk, Edwardian, and Snell Roundhand.

Which Aesthetic Font Should I Use For My Company?

‍

‍

Ask yourself, what does your company want to communicate to your target audiences? It’s important to come up with a list of brand personality traits for your company before selecting your font style. Here is a list of questions you can answer to help you decide which aesthetic font to select. 

• What message are you conveying?
• How do you want your brand/copywriting to come across? Formal, colloquial, straightforward, trustworthy, graceful etc.
• What emotions do you want your reader to feel?
• What’s the goal of your writing message? Is it leading to a sale or to informing your audience?

Have you ever thought of boosting your conversions on your bankruptcy law website through web design?

‍

According to Stanford University, nearly 1 in 2 people claim that the top reason a business is trustworthy or not is based on its website’s design. 

‍

As a lawyer, you know trust is a make-or-break factor for your customers. They are going through a stressful, confusing and difficult time to say the least. Your clients may have no clue what to do next, how to file for bankruptcy, or even consider a bankruptcy lawyer as an option. 

‍

Steps To Deliver Outstanding Bankruptcy Lawyer Web Design

‍

Step 1: Professionalism

‍

Using high quality images and instinctive navigation will help your website be fresh and effortless for visitors. 

‍

Having a professional photographer take a clean image of you, your team and your office is a foundational piece in web design for a bankruptcy lawyer. 

‍

Images aren’t everything however. A web design agency can ensure your website uses navigation people are accustomed to. It’s tempting to be extra creative here but it may do more harm than good in the long run when your clients just want to easily find certain pages, like your law services. 

‍

To keep your website professional, start with a clean look with links that are easy to spot and connect to the proper pages.

‍

Step 2: Create Content That Your Customers Want & Understand

‍

Content that’s relevant to your target audience goes hand in hand with your website’s appearance. 

‍

Imagine, what does the journey look like for a client of yours going through the ordeal of bankruptcy? You likely already know some questions they ask, but it’s still worth doing a bit of research regardless. 

‍

You presumably have two types of customers: One who is knowledgable and needs a bankruptcy lawyer and those who may not know and are only gathering information before they make a decision. Either way, your client is under a lot of stress financially. 

‍

To combat your client’s uncertainty and stress, try to make your website as welcoming as possible. Make them feel like they can get to know you and what they can expect when they book a consultation with you. 

‍

Posting relevant resources via blogs and other formats is another great way to cater to your audience. Comparing the pros and cons of filing for bankruptcy in a blog, podcast or video is just one example in a sea of endless possibilities of content.

Step 3: Building Trust & Authority

What good is content if it’s not validated?

‍

This is where building trust and authority comes into play. Although producing great content does help create both trust and authority, to stand out you’ll need to go above and beyond for your customers. 

‍

Whether or not bankruptcy is your sole practice, using testimonials is an amazing way to build trust with prospective clients. Over 70% of customers trust businesses through positive reviews and 88% trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. 

‍

If you solve bankruptcy issues for a client, check if they are willing to be featured on your website. Offering both written and video testimonials will market your law firm in a compelling way.

‍

Building website authority for your law practice takes a plenty of work. Authority is the level of competency you and your website bears. Showcasing your education, skills, and connecting to other firms while link building will help you boost authority. These Search Engine Optimization (SEO) factors plus a number of others will allow you to show up higher on search engines (like Google and Bing).
