Insurance Agency Websites - Do It Right Because When Will You Have Time To Do It Over?

You’ve probably heard the saying, “If you are going to do something, then do it right”.  Then there’s a quote by John Robert Wooden who was an American basketball player and head coach at the University of California at Los Angeles who said, “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over?”.  

I don’t believe there is a perfect website on the internet.  It’s subjective, but it’s easy to spot bad ones. There is a lot going on within a website that we don’t see, but what we do see can either make a great impression or a bad one.

Here Are 5 Elements of a Good Website 

Design - Is it aesthetically pleasing?  The design of your website will be the first thing a visitor will see when they arrive on your agency’s website. You only have seconds to grab a visitor’s attention before they leave your website.  Use a website theme or template, uncluttered layout, appealing colors and make use of white space.

Content - In my experience, this is the one independent insurance agents struggle with the most.  Think about the quote, “If you don’t have the time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over?”.  If you have decided to build a website for your independent insurance agency, you don’t have to rush to get it published.  Take time and think about what your agency offers and how you stand out from the crowd of other local agents in your area. Answer the questions your potential customers want to hear, why they should contact you for their insurance needs.

Call To Action - They like what they see.  Make sure they know exactly how to contact you no matter what page of your website they’re on. Examples of calls to action, “Get A Quote Now”, “Click Here To Call”, “Directions To Our Agency”.

Continuity (Page Navigation) - When a visitor comes to your website, it should be easy to navigate to the information they are looking for.  Page navigation should be clear, concise and uncluttered.  Don’t bury pages deep within other pages.

Mobile - Your website should be mobile-friendly. Period. If your website isn’t mobile-friendly, you are losing mobile visitors immediately.  Most people will visit your website from a mobile device.  If they have to use their fingers to zoom in to see your page and content, they are leaving.

These are just a handful of tips.  Don’t forget to keep your website fresh.  Update your website with fresh content, blog, use real photos of your agency, use your brand and logo to prominently stand out and separate you from your local competition.
