Now, with such abundance of choices, customers are definitely spoilt for choices, as they become more choosy and picky in their approach towards online shopping.
So, how to increase the conversion rates for online businesses?
The traffic leaving your site is commonly amounted to Bounced rate, while the visitors converting into customers amounts as conversion rates. Websites for years have longed to increase their conversion optimization, so as to increase their revenue streams out of the online business. And there are many factors that contribute to the increase of conversion rates for websites, including target audience, business model, and web design.

Is planning important for an effective web design?
Once while I was attending a conference on web design, one of the speakers said a brilliant line representing the importance of planning in the right execution of a website design, here are his words, “Websites can’t just happen out of nowhere, you got to plan to make them happen the right way”.
The key here is to understand the purpose of a website. You can’t just decide to get a website made for your business and trust a random company to do the job. No, that’s a flawed approach. Rather, you should prepare in advance the working models, functionalities and purpose it’s going to serve. You will need to detail the web designer about each and every aspect of the web design to get the perfectly functioning and highly effective web design.
