Just because a website is aesthetically pleasing, doesn’t necessarily mean it is user friendly and will be successful in it’s objectives. A website should cater for both professionalism as well as aesthetics, as it only effects one of the two, and you need to appeal both factors by making sure it is cross-platform, search engine optimised, cross browser compatible and offers a strong user experience for everyone.
Websites act as a portal to your business; therefore you need to ensure you are developing a website that will work hard for you, and ultimately serve your business, giving you a firm position on the internet.
