The aesthetics of your website says almost everything about your company; from the first impression to the final sale. And because of this, it is important to not only impress your potential customers from the get-go, but you have to keep them enthralled in the site long enough for them to realize that your business is what they are looking for. While there are many obvious considerations to keep in mind, like attractive photos and easy navigation, there is one trick that will almost always ensure a successful website: integration.

Looking at the website of Engineering Specialists, Inc. you’ll notice that it has all of the components of a smart online business; eye catching photos, organization, easy navigation bar, etc. But what makes this site stand out even further is the integrated blog that scrolls on the home page. Especially relevant to this company’s market, the blog on the home page presents many benefits to consumers.

First, it provides instant news to consumers, making it convenient for them to see the latest happenings in the market. In addition to this, the scrolling stories help to build urgency in the stories, emphasizing the need for services such as those provided by Engineering Specialists, Inc. Secondly, and to spare the technological jargon, the integrated blog on the home page saves a lot of lost traffic to the site. While this is more important for what is going on behind the scenes for the business, it does keep the visitor to the site engaged; which ultimately builds the company’s brand. Whether or not that visitor decides on that service at that time, there is no doubt that brand recognition will eventually bring that person back for the service.

By keeping the potential customer engaged in the site, integrating certain aspects for better brand recognition is ultimately the game changing play that separates the winners from the pool of competition.
