Advice On The "look" Of Website Pages
I am a one-person marketing department for a small business that provides water treatment products and services to residential, commercial and industrial clients. Redid website 4 years ago. After voicing some concerns with my ad agency was referred to another website company for a demo. We currently show up in top 5 of organic Google search for a few of the cities in our market area. Always want to improve of course. Demo person was great, but I noticed that their pages are just FULL of content - both sides and in the middle. To me, it looks like a Facebook page - yes, I understand that is not a bad thing. My pages - especially the home page - are more what I would call "clean" have more space around them little content. The demo person was kind enough to tell me that Google wants 300+ words per page hence the need to fill up my home page. I am trying to not to stick my head in the sand here, so please can you fill me in on what you have found to be successful in web design? Is "clean" with open space on a page no longer desirable to consumers? Should my website look more like a Facebook page? My national brand competitors seem to have a home page that looks more like mine but that doesn't make it correct. Thanks for your time!
