Web Design Checklist: Everything Your Site Needs to Convert More

A well-designed website should not only be visually appealing, but it should also be optimized for conversion. From navigation to loading speed, every detail influences the user experience and the conversion rate.

In Vexus, we know that good web design is the key to attracting and retaining customers. That's why we created this checklist with the essential elements that every website needs to maximize its performance.

1. Attractive and Professional Design

A clean, modern design builds trust and makes it easy to navigate. The proper use of colors, typography and visual elements directly influences the user's perception of your brand.

• ✅ Use of colors aligned with brand identity.
• ✅ Legible and professional typefaces to improve reading.
• ✅ Adequate spacing to avoid an overloaded interface.
• ✅ High-quality images and graphics that reinforce the message.

2. Intuitive Navigation

If users don't find what they're looking for quickly, they'll leave without interacting with your site. Clear navigation improves the experience and reduces the bounce rate.

• ✅ Well-structured navigation menu with organized categories.
• ✅ Clearly visible action buttons (CTAs) with persuasive messages.
• ✅ Intuitive and functional search bar to improve accessibility.
• ✅ Organization of content in a logical hierarchy.

3. Optimization for Mobile

More than 60% of web traffic comes from mobile devices. A responsive design ensures that users have a smooth experience regardless of the device.

• ✅ Adaptable design to different screen sizes.
• ✅ Easy-to-touch buttons and links without clicking errors.
• ✅ Optimized images to avoid slow loads on mobile devices.
• ✅ Structured content for easy reading on small screens.

4. Optimized Charging Speed

A slow site reduces conversions and affects SEO. Google rewards fast pages with the best positions in search results.

• ✅ Image compression without losing quality.
• ✅ Implementation of deferred loading (lazy loading) to improve performance.
• ✅ Using CDN for faster content delivery.
• ✅ Elimination of unnecessary code and reduction in the number of HTTP requests.

5. Quality Content and Optimized SEO

Content must be clear, valuable, and optimized to appear in Google's top results.

• ✅ Use of strategic keywords within content.
• ✅ Hierarchical headings (H1, H2, H3) that improve the structure.
• ✅ Attractive meta descriptions and ALT tags in images.
• ✅ Clean and optimized URLs to improve indexing.

6. Security and Trust

A secure website builds trust with visitors and protects sensitive user information.

• ✅ Active SSL certificate (HTTPS) to encrypt information.
• ✅ Accessible privacy policy and terms of use pages.
• ✅ Testimonials and reviews from real customers to increase credibility.
• ✅ Protection against attacks and vulnerabilities with security updates.

7. Integration with Analysis Tools

Measuring website performance is key to improving the user experience and optimizing conversion strategies.

• ✅ Google Analytics to monitor traffic and user behavior.
• ✅ Google Search Console to check indexing and fix SEO errors.
• ✅ Heatmaps to understand visitor behavior.
• ✅ A/B testing to improve the performance of different elements of the web.

8. Optimized Forms and Contact

An optimized form makes it easier to communicate with users and can increase conversions.

• ✅ Short and direct forms with the essential fields.
• ✅ Quick contact buttons such as WhatsApp or Messenger.
• ✅ Well-structured contact page with visible address and data.
• ✅ Automatic confirmation after submitting the form to improve the experience.

9. Marketing and Social Media Strategy

A website without outreach strategies will fail to attract traffic or generate customers.

• ✅ Visible and easy-to-share links to social networks.
• ✅ Integrated blog with valuable content to attract visitors.
• ✅ Email marketing strategy to attract and retain customers.
• ✅ Use of retargeting to re-impact visitors

10. Update and Ongoing Maintenance

Web design isn't static; it requires constant adjustments to maintain good performance and security.

• ✅ Regular reviews of the content and design to keep it up to date.
• ✅ Monitoring key metrics to detect areas for improvement.
• ✅ Regular backups to prevent loss of information.
• ✅ Implementation of new technologies and web design trends.
