Make your website a race car, not a clunker

15 Aug 2019 Make your website a race car, not a clunker

Your website can and should be like a Ferrari in a road race: So fast it holds the attention of the audience, and gets them to the checkered flag without breakdowns. Any slower and the race is lost. Your website is no different. Your target audience expects speed, clarity and convenience from your site. Fail the speed test and you lose the race, and the audience. It’s that simple.

According to Google, “53% of mobile site visits leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load.” So unless you aren’t serious about your brand, it’s time to get up to speed!

Speed is your secret weapon that makes or breaks whether visitors decide to stay on your site; without optimized pages, say goodbye to getting Google love and making it to the top of the search engine results. Unless this is your first road race, you know that a lack of visibility puts the brakes on your site and your brand and prevents you from meeting your business objectives.

What is the key to maintaining above average site speed?

The answer – start by testing your site’s speed, and then learn from the pros:

Hosting Tribunal’s comprehensive infographic (below) reveals how speed impacts customer experience, conversions, SEO and bounce rate including interesting facts like the average loading time for mobile versus desktop!

The Communicatto team delivers and then some.
Mike Regimbal - National Director, Operation Lifesaver

Communicatto is the best thing since sliced bread. My next cat’s name will either be Doug or Kelly. Seriously though, you guys do so much for OL. You have taken our not-for-profit to the next level and it was a joy to work with you. I feel like you have our best interest at heart. What an amazing team you have!
Maryse Betournay - Senior Administrative Assistant, Operation Lifesaver

I would not hesitate to recommend Communicatto’s services, as Doug and his team are fabulous. We have used them to orchestrate social media seminars for our global communications team in addition to helping build out our social media platforms here at the corporate office.
Krista Muhr - Vice President, Investor Relations & Corporate Communications, Eldorado Gold

Communicatto did a great job at scaling their services to suit our needs, we had limited social media savvy, but bringing everyone up to speed was a great help. Our social media branding increased markedly and we have been able to maintain this level thanks to Communicatto.
Rob Henderson - President & CEO, BioTalent Canada

Communicatto helped us address an immediate need for persona-based content to kick start a new demand generation program. Our writing team was knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with and provided quality copy that we were able to use right away. I’m looking forward to working with them again!

Communicatto took the time to learn all about us by actively listening, defining our strengths and weaknesses, and then developing a tailored strategy we can understand and act on in order to effectively communicate with our key stakeholders. The digital world is overwhelming but Communicatto is helping us navigate it with confidence.

Having a Twitter or Instagram account doesn’t qualify you as a digital marketer. What I like about the team at Communicatto, is that they understand the importance of the marketing plan and are as well versed in traditional marketing methods as they are in digital channels. They bring the power of an integrated marketing mix to the table and as technologies move at warp speed, they add value by staying on top of the new tools on the horizon.
