As a branding specialist working with female entrepreneurs, I've seen firsthand how a well-designed website can transform a business. Today, I'm sharing proven tips to enhance your website's user experience (UX) using Wix, helping your brand stand out.
Embrace White Space
White space isn't empty space – it's breathing room for your content. Strategic use of white space:
- Makes your content more digestible
- Highlights key messages
- Creates a premium, sophisticated feel
- Reduces overload for visitors
Pro Tip: In Wix, adjust your spacing using the drag handles to create balanced layouts.
Prioritise Mobile Optimization
With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, your site must shine on smaller screens:
- Use Wix's mobile editor to fine-tune your mobile layout
- Ensure buttons are large enough for finger taps
- Keep menus simple and clear
- Test your site regularly on different devices
Create a Clear Visual Hierarchy
Guide your visitors' eyes to what matters most:
- Use consistent heading styles (heading 1)
- Highlight key information with contrasting colours
- Place important calls-to-action above the fold
- Maintain brand consistency in fonts and colours
Optimise Your Navigation
Make it effortless for visitors to find what they need:
- Limit main menu items to 5-7 options
- Use descriptive labels (avoid "click here")
- Include a search function for larger sites
- Ensure your logo links back to the homepage
Speed Up Your Site
A fast website keeps visitors engaged:
- Compress images before uploading. Wix has an image edit function to resize images.
- Use Wix's video optimization features
- Minimise unnecessary animations
Build Trust Through Design
Female entrepreneurs often excel at building authentic connections. Enhance this through your website:
- Display client testimonials prominently
- Share your brand story and values
- Include professional photos of you and your team
- Feature trust badges, certifications and award badges
Make It Interactive
Engage visitors with interactive elements:
- Add hover effects to buttons
- Include micro-animations on some elements
- Use progress bars for multi-step forms
Focus on Accessibility
Create an inclusive experience for all visitors:
- Use sufficient colour contrast
- Add alt text to images
- Ensure forms are keyboard-navigable
- Maintain readable font sizes (minimum 16px)
Implement Clear Calls-to-Action (CTAs)
Guide visitors toward desired actions:
- Use action-oriented language
- Make buttons stand out visually
- Place CTAs strategically throughout pages
## 10. Gather and Act on Feedback
Continuously improve your site:
