Giving your potential users a clear path and exposure to your site increases users’ engagement. The most common behavior that is ever noticed is merely switching to another site if a user does not like a site. The ultimate goal of an online presence is converting a customer so the better the first impression a user has of your website, the more you get conversions. A cluttered website is like a pile of laundry on which things keep on piling and makes a mess of all your efforts at some point in time. Every website comes to an end where it requires cleaning so here are a few areas where a site needs to be improved. Stick To the Wireframe: Creating a wireframe, in the beginning, can help you stick and follow your designated path. It helps right from the start to sail smoothly yet hold to the fundamental aspects of a website which only a custom...

Having clarified that, what follows is the...
