Web Design Statistics That Matter for Detroit Businesses

Doing business in Detroit can be difficult. The challenges, the competition… but the opportunities! Properly leveraging all the digital tools available can make the difference between lukewarm success and explosive growth. And it all starts with great web design.

For that, you need to work with the best Detroit web design company. If your agency doesn’t get it, and can’t nail the perfect website look and feel for your business, you’ll get fewer customers. Period.

That’s not just us saying it, either, because the website design statistics show that your target audience cares about how you present yourself online. Take a look at these stats from JOLA Branding:

Infographic showing noteworthy web design statistics about user opinions, home page importance, bad layout consequences, and company investment in web design.

The first box should catch your attention. You get a fraction of a second to present stunning websites to visitors before they form an opinion. That first impression comes in a flash. And if it’s a bad impression bolstered by a poor layout, a huge chunk of your potential customer base bounces away from your site.

Organic keywords, rankings and traffic up over 500% in under 6 months!

Let's Take A Look At How

Great Web Design Drives Business Goals

So, you’re in the market for a new website, and you want to know what a digital marketing firm like NEWMEDIA can deliver. But you care about more than the graphic design and little tweaks that go into making an attractive website.

Your business has goals. Sales goals. Marketing goals. Brand-building goals. And you want to know what our Detroit web design company can do to help you meet them.

Create a Great First Impression

You already know that it takes customers 50 milliseconds (that’s 0.05 seconds, by the way) to form their first impression of your website.

But why does that matter?

Check out these stats from YellowFin Digital:

Infographic with stats on website credibility, highlighting that 89% of B2B customers research online before purchasing, and 94% of first impressions are design-driven.

We can already assume that most customers head to the web when researching a company. But it’s the other two stats that need your attention. Your web design influences a customer’s first impression in 94% of cases, meaning they take one look at your site and decide whether they like it based on how it looks.

It sounds shallow, but it’s just the way it is.

And it goes deeper.

Three-quarters of your website visitors associate your company’s credibility with the look and feel of your website’s design. If the site doesn’t fit the bill when it comes to what they want to see, they’re going to assume that your company can’t deliver either.

Think of a person’s first visit to your website as you’d think of a first date. If you’re not dressed to the nines and ready to impress, you’re going to have to work a whole lot harder to get your “date” to share a second drink with you.

Set the Stage for Dominating Search Results

Ask any web design firm about what they offer, and they’re eventually going to land on the topic of internet marketing. There’s a good reason for that, too. There’s no point in creating stunning websites if they don’t appear in search results.

If we come back to our date analogy, that’s the equivalent of getting all dressed up with nowhere to go. You’ve got to put yourself out there if you want somebody to grab a drink with you.

The same goes for your website.

Every aspect of web design feeds into the SEO services you use to get ahead on Google. Top web designers (such as those from NEWMEDIA) understand this and will use their design expertise to set the stage for later digital marketing efforts.

Create Trust Among Your Customers

All of that talk about the importance of making a good first impression with your Detroit web design has a purpose beyond making sure people like the look of your site.

It’s all about trust.

Trust impacts every major purchasing decision your customers make, as this chart from the aptly named Marketing Charts shows us:

Bar chart illustrating the impact of trust in a brand on large purchase decisions, segmented by gender.

While this breaks a survey of over 1,000 people down by gender, we’ll focus on the “All Adults” stats. Nearly a third of people (31%) say trust matters “a great deal” when buying, with a further 37% saying it matters “a lot.” Only 2% say trust doesn’t matter to them at all.

Let’s go back to the dating analogy. If a guy turns up with tears in his shirt and goes on to make the entire first date about how much he hates his “crazy” exes, you’re not going to trust him, right? No second date for that guy.

And there’ll be no second visit (and definitely no buying) to your website if you can’t create trust through your web design.

Offer More Value to Get More Customers

We could make the obvious dating analogies about good partners being able to offer value to one another, but that might be overkill.

So, let’s focus on how web design agencies help you offer more value to your customers.

It comes down to presenting content (good content) in ways that make sense to your visitors. If people can’t find what they need to find because your website’s design is confusing and cluttered, they’re gone in a heartbeat.

We’ll let this chart from Optimiser do the talking when it comes to navigation:

Infographic listing the benefits of good website navigation, including increased sales and improved user experience.

You already offer value. You wouldn’t be in business if you didn’t. But if you don’t nail website navigation, your prospects can’t find that value, which means they don’t know if your company is one they can trust.

Present people with what they expect to see from your site’s navigational structure, and you can lead them to the value that you know you have to offer.

They performed stellarly. We work very cohesively together, collaboratively, and with very substantial synergy. The amount of content and creative addition that we have since contracting with NEWMEDIA is second to none.

Let's Go Through Our

Website Design Services

You’re ready to get started on your web design project, and you know what the NEWMEDIA Detroit website design company brings to the table, at least in terms of results.

But what do we actually do?

Let's find out.

Web Development

A lot of people conflate web design and web development, acting as though they’re the same thing. They’re not. Still, getting the development side right is crucial to ensuring your design elements hit home.

Web development is all about what’s going on under the hood. It’s the connections to databases, checking links work, and creating the clean code that ensures your website works as a visitor expects when they start clicking around.

Think of your website as though it’s a car.

You could create the most beautiful bodywork in the world, with rims on your wheels, tinted windows, and all of the trimmings that make people stop and stare at your car. But if the engine doesn’t fire when you turn the key in the ignition, that car’s never leaving the garage.

The point is that looks only matter if there’s substance behind the sizzle. Our web development services ensure your design has the foundation it needs to wow your customers.

Social Media Marketing Services

You’ve got to get social if you want to use your website to sell. The problem with social lies in figuring out where your customers are and then measuring the ROI of your efforts to reach them.

The ROI issue, in particular, is a major challenge, as this chart from Econsultancy shows us:

Bar chart showing the most challenging aspects of social programs, including measuring ROI and developing social media strategy.

An enormous 60% of marketers struggle to measure the ROI of their campaigns, with half of them also saying that they have no idea how to tie their social media activities to tangible business outcomes.

NEWMEDIA’s social media marketing solves those problems. And if you’re wondering how that ties in with web design, remember that your socials are another tool you can use to drive people (and there are billions of them using social media) to your website.

The better you do on social media, the more people you can send to your gorgeous new website, meaning you have more traffic that you can turn into customers.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

We’ve already talked about the whole getting dressed up with no place to go issue when it comes to the relationship between web design and SEO.

So, let’s focus on why SEO matters. Check out this chart from First Page Sage:

Chart showing SEO ROI statistics by industry, comparing ROI percentages with the time to break even.

No matter which industry you look at, you can see that the stats show ROI on SEO efforts. Whether it’s the 350% ROI e-commerce companies get or the over 1,000% ROI that we see in the financial, medical, and real estate sectors, the clear message is that SEO combined with quality web design does two things:

  1. Gets people to your website
  2. Turns those people into customers

Responsive Web Design

Have you ever used your smartphone or tablet to check out a website, only to find that it looks awful on a small screen? That’s what happens when web designers fail to create mobile-friendly websites.

And that bad mobile experience matters, as we see from these stats:

Graphic comparing user behavior, showing 67% are more likely to buy on a mobile-friendly site, while 61% will leave if the site is not mobile-friendly.

According to Search Engine Watch, more than two-thirds of people (67%) say that they’re more likely to buy from you if you present digital content in the mobile format in an attractive way. Nearly the same amount of people (61%) say they’ll bid your website adieu if they don’t see what they need to see immediately.

Simply put, your site has to work well on mobile.

NEWMEDIA’s responsive web design makes sure that happens.

Custom Web Design

Any company could pull a few WordPress websites together and tell you that they offer web design. And we’re not knocking WordPress here. We’ve used it ourselves, and it’s a great combination of content management system and templated responsive website design.

But it’s the “templated” part of that sentence that is often a problem.

Your corporate identity isn’t necessarily something that fits nicely into a template. It’s the old square peg into a round hole problem. Sometimes, forcing yourself to fit into a template means your website isn’t offering everything that it should to your visitors.

NEWMEDIA’s custom web design ensures your web design and development needs (and we mean your specific needs) are met.

Web Hosting

Sure, we can create a great website for your Detroit business and release it to you so you can handle the web hosting aspect yourself.

But if you want it all done for you, we can host your website so it’s online as soon as it’s finished. Good hosting matters because hosting keeps your website live. If the site goes down, you have a problem, as this stat from InvGate shows us:

Statistic showing that nearly 50% of customers leave if they experience downtime of more than 5 minutes.

Five minutes feels like nothing. It’s literally less than 0.35% of the day. But that fraction of a percent of time spent waiting is enough to make up to half of your customers move on to somebody else.

A Professionally Designed Website for Mobile Devices

We’ve already touched on why your website needs to display well on mobile devices, but it’s worth noting that mobile-specific design is one of our other services.

Why might you only want a mobile site with no desktop equivalent? Check out these stats from Oberloo:

Bar chart showing the increase in the number of people shopping online from 2020 to 2025, with figures rising from 2.37 billion to 2.77 billion.

Every year, more and more people exclusively use their phones to browse the web. By the end of 2022, 59.4% of all web traffic came from mobile devices. And this chart shows consistent increases in mobile use compared to desktop, making a mobile-friendly site more essential than ever before.

Content Marketing

Content development is key to great web design. If we come back to the dating analogy we started with, the graphical elements of your website are your outfit. The necklace, the earrings, the fancy boots, and everything else that pulls the ensemble together.

The content is what you talk about on the date. It’s your personality. And in the end, you can’t expect somebody to date you if you look the part but have a terrible personality.

Unfortunately, you’re likely not a writer or video editor, which means you may need help to craft the content your customers need to see. But NEWMEDIA can do all of those things for you as part of your web design service because we’re a full-service digital marketing agency.

Our Past Projects

Our Esteemed Clientele

Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to work with hundreds of clients of all sizes from a range of industries for website designing and redesigning projects. Some of our clients include:

Delta Sky Club

The new Delta Sky Club website portal, designed and developed from scratch by NEWMEDIA, allows Delta passengers who go online in any of their Sky Club lounges across the U.S. to quickly get news, weather & stock market information, in addition to tracking flights on any airline (not just Delta!), searching directly in Google, and getting maps and driving directions to/from any address on Earth.

California Almonds

NEWMEDIA Los Angeles, in collaboration with Sterling-Rice Group (SRG), built a new website for the Almond Board of California under an aggressive development timeline. We built a multi-language website for them while ensuring a consistent user experience by bringing all four existing websites into a single universal system. Our team of experts delivered this mammoth project even after the deadline was shortened by four weeks.

Six Flags

The Six Flags team reached out to NEWMEDIA for a complete website redesign and multi-site ecommerce web development. We redesigned the website to change its complete look and feel and organized content into categories and subcategories to simplify content discovery for visitors. Over the course of the project, we worked in close coordination with the Six Flags team to deliver the website quickly before their parks reopened.

PostNet

PostNet approached us to completely redesign all their websites, including those of franchisees. We developed a fresh responsive website for them to offer a consistent browsing experience to visitors irrespective of the screen size of the device they use to access the website. Additionally, we developed a tool to help visitors find their nearest PostNet center. Finally, we designed the 300+ franchise websites for them with local SEO and franchise SEO.

YMCA (The Y)

YMCA (now “The Y”) is an organization that we’ve all heard of and/or been a part of at one time in our lives. YMCA of Metro Denver came to us for a fresh website design that would communicate their mission of being for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Even more exciting, they had just had a brand refresh and this was the chance to support that refresh with a complementary website.

Haystack

When CBS Television was producing the show that came to be called Haystack Help, they needed a complex yet easy to use website application to direct the TV viewers to visit, and their search for a Denver website developer led them to NEWMEDIA. Initially, prior to contacting NEWMEDIA, they had selected another web development partner for the project. Then, there was a problem…
