Current Website Metrics Analysis Unique Selling Proposition Analysis

When visitors reach your website they will need to very quickly understand who you are, what you do, if you can help them and why they should stay on your website (and ultimately buy). In order to achieve this you must have a unique selling proposition (USP) or in other words, the one thing that makes your company different. Then, your USP must be used to influence content across your entire website, especially on your homepage or other high entry pages. Hence, before crafting design and content strategy, we identify your Unique Selling Proposition (USP) so that it is consistent across entire website. This step defines how the world communicates with your website.

Unique Selling Proposition could be

  • What makes your products or services worth buying?
  • What makes you different?
  • How your product & services solves customer’s problems or improves their situation.
  • Delivers specific benefits (quantified value)
  • Why they should buy from you and not from the competition (unique differentiation)
  • Brand message and mission, vision and values.
Current Website Metrics Analysis Customer Persona Analysis

By clearly identifying your customers/visitors, you’ll be able to build a website that truly speaks to them. We develop one or more customer personas with your help, which are fictional characters, based on real data about customer demographics and online behavior, along with details about their personal attitudes, value drivers and concerns. This helps us imagine your ideal prospect and tailor the website to meet their needs. Some of the details includes demographics, geography, industry, designations etc. Also, need based analysis includes What are the biggest problems they are trying to solve? What do they need most? What information are they typically searching for? What trends are influencing their business or personal success?

Current Website Metrics Analysis Functional Requirement Analysis

Every website has functional and nonfunctional requirements. Before actual design & development process it is important to define those requirement. We jot down every feature you would like on your new website. Then, consider which features will help you meet or exceed your website goals as well as the needs and preferences of your website visitors. Categorize all the features into separate lists for “must have”, “want to have” and “nice to have”.

  • Content management system ( CMS )

Once the blueprint for the website has been defined through the creation of the sitemap and wireframes, the next step is to create a visual style. The overall visual mockups will most likely be determined by the visual brand of the organization; the goals being to connect the web with all other forms of the organization’s communications.
We believe in simplicity being the key. While designing the website concept, we emphasis on your branding guidelines, typography, iconography, visual language, simplicity and usability. We design visual mockups for all key pages for desktop & also create separate mockups for mobile.

GUI testing on actual devices

As the number of people using mobile devices increases, so too does the pressure to ensure that our websites look good and are legible on mobile devices. While designing mockups we also make sure we test those on real mobile phones. This really helps us addressing usability issue before it becomes problem.
