How important is web desing?

Immediately go and check their website. Most times you’re going to look it up on your phone because that’s what you have at your fingertips. We’ve all been to different companies’ websites that are difficult to read, hard to understand, not user friendly.

A company’s website design is like their business card, it represents who they are, their branding, their image; it is therefore their face to the world. I dare to say a company’s website design can make or break your company.
