How to Design a Website That Converts

Your website should do more than just look good, it should work hard for your business. A beautifully designed site is great, but if it’s not guiding visitors toward taking action, it’s not doing its job. Every page of your site should have a clear goal and a strategy for driving conversions. That’s where purposeful design comes in, and that’s what JonesHaus does best. We specialize in creating websites that balance aesthetic appeal with smart, intentional design, so every visitor knows exactly what step to take next.

Every page of your site should have a clear goal and a strategy to drive conversions.

The Power of Purposeful Design

Every page on your website should serve a clear, specific purpose. 

Whether it’s your home page, product page, about page, or contact page, each one should be designed to guide users naturally toward taking action. Think of your site as a journey. Every element, from the layout to the copy to the visuals, should help move visitors closer to your end goal.

Clean design and easy navigation are key here. Overly busy pages or confusing layouts will send users running. Compelling visuals and clear messaging keep visitors engaged and make it simple for them to take the next step, whether that’s booking a consultation, making a purchase, or getting in touch.

Every page should have a clear call to action (CTA). Think of buttons like "Book a Consultation," "Shop Now," or "Get in Touch." Try something that makes the next step obvious and easy.

Craft a website that leads users seamlessly – one page, one step, one action at a time.

The First Impression on Your Home Page

Your home page sets the tone for your entire website. 

You only have a few seconds to make it count. It should immediately communicate your value proposition: what makes you different and why visitors should stick around.

A bold, clear call to action (CTA) above the fold — meaning the part of the page that’s visible without scrolling — is essential. Your CTA should tell users exactly what to do next, whether that’s booking a call, viewing your services, or browsing your products. Pair this with a short, punchy headline and a subhead that clearly communicates your value.

Keep your home page clean and inviting. Avoid overwhelming visitors with too much information upfront. Instead, use simple, engaging content that directs them to explore further. High-quality images and a well-structured layout will help them navigate easily and stay focused.

Give each product or service its own CTA to keep visitors moving through the sales funnel.

Showcasing Value on Your Product or Services Page

Your product or services pages should focus on benefits, not just features. 

It’s not just about what you offer, it’s about how those offerings solve your audience’s problems and make their lives better.

Each product or service should have its own dedicated CTA, moving visitors further down the sales funnel. Use high-quality imagery, testimonials, and case studies to build trust and show that you deliver real results. A well-placed CTA button ensures they always know what step to take next.

Your about page should do more than tell your story. It should inspire action. Make it personal, make it engaging, and don’t forget the CTAs!

Tell Your Brand Story on Your About Page

Your about page is an opportunity to connect on a human level.

Share who you are, what drives your brand, and why you do what you do. People want to work with brands they feel aligned with, so let your personality and mission show through.

But don’t stop there, add CTAs that encourage visitors to take the next step. Whether it’s booking a consultation, following you on social media, or signing up for your newsletter, your about page should guide users toward deeper engagement.

Keep your contact forms simple and straightforward, with clear instructions and a strong CTA.

Make it Easy for Users to Reach Out on Your Contact Page

Your contact page is often the final step before a visitor becomes a client, so make it as easy as possible. 

Keep your contact forms simple and straightforward, with clear instructions and a strong CTA.

Make sure your contact page is accessible from anywhere on your site, whether through a sticky navigation bar or well-placed links. The easier it is to reach you, the more likely people will take that step.

Also, consider adding a brief message to your contact page that sets expectations like response time or what kind of information to include in their message. This adds a professional touch and helps clients feel more confident when reaching out.

Every Page Should Have a Purpose

A high-converting website isn’t just pretty, it’s strategic. Every page should have a specific purpose and a clear call to action that drives visitors to take the next step. When every element works together, your site becomes a powerful tool for growing your business.
