When it comes to B2B websites, having bounce rates from prospects and low conversions can be incredibly frustrating. To help you with that, we prepared a special article, suggesting tips you need to know for your B2B website design:

Suggestion 1: Make your website about the customers

Your B2B website needs to stop talking too much about yourselves. Rather, you should provide customers with an opportunity to proactively share who they are and what they're looking to do. Think about 'how do our customers define themselves' and 'in their minds, which aspects of their identity most affect how they look at suppliers like us'. Consider the client's ideas and preferences in your website design to enhance the on-page user experience.

Suggestion 2. Emphasize your customers’ outcomes

It would help if you thought about what kind of assistance do your client need from a supplier in your category. Understand the specific business objectives customers are seeking to achieve, then organize the sites using the language immediately recognizable to customers along those outcomes, eventually increasing resonant and enhancing conversions.

Suggestion 3. Help customers complete the designated actions you want them to take

B2B websites should identify and then facilitate the specific tasks that customers come to your website to complete. We suggest you review whether it is easy to find support for those tasks on your site right now. 

It is highly suggested to keep the design simple and ensure visitors naturally gravitate towards the most important elements. Use a search bar to let users seek out what they are looking for. Plan navigation so that users can get from point A to point B, easily progress along the journey and reduce bounce rate.
