Website features

Why do you need high-quality website features?

After going to the website from a search engine, the user, first of all, draws his attention to the thematic design and content of the page. After the first impression, the visitor points out the website’s structure and features: whether it is easy to navigate through the internal pages and find the necessary information through the menu, map or internal search. The visitor also pays attention to the sections of news, similar products, contacts, profiles in social networks, etc.

A simple and convenient website characterizes its owner as a competent specialist and reliable partner, and it is due to its features the customer feels a desire to start cooperation and make a purchase.website features list

  1. Registration. It is needed to access the closed sections of the website: personal account, basket, etc.

  2. Mailouts. Usually implemented by third-party services. The website performs only the function of collecting subscriptions for the mailouts.
