But the look and functionality of your site can have a profound effect on the visitor experience. And that, in turn, can actually impact how well your site is ranked in search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because website design and search engine optimization are congenitally linked. Without UX design, you may struggle to improve your site rankings in 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at the connection between web design and SEO, as well as the common user experience and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/12-common-ui-ux-designing-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>UI\/UX design mistakes<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>that can derail your ability to rank in search engine results pages (SERPs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">What is UX?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s first discuss the definition of UX design. \u201cUX\u201d stands for user experience, which is a concept that can be applied to any digital product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, we\u2019re talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/ui-ux-design-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>UX website design<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> It\u2019s a specific subset of web design that focuses on how the site impacts the visitor. One of the goals of UX design is to make it as easy as possible for a website visitor to achieve their goals (e.g., finding the information they need, contacting the right people, buying a product, etc.).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With UX design, the website visitor experience should be efficient, simple to understand, and overwhelmingly positive. A good UX website design should make it easy for visitors to complete their task(s) and help them solve their problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">How Are Web Design and SEO Connected?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>That\u2019s all well and good, you might say to yourself<\/em>, <em>but what does the design of my site have to do with my search rankings?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you might not realize is that search engines like Google care about providing as much value as possible to web users. In fact, that\u2019s really their number one priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"712\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/web-design-and-SEO-conncted.png\" alt=\"How Are Web Design and SEO Connected?\" class=\"wp-image-983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/web-design-and-SEO-conncted.png 712w, https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/web-design-and-SEO-conncted-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the old days, SEO principles could be applied to trick search engines into doling out more favorable rankings than deserved. But now, Google\u2019s gotten a lot better at understanding what web visitors want. And as a result, Google doesn\u2019t like to reward websites that fail to provide a superior experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, it won\u2019t matter how much you<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/top-15-reasons-to-choose-seo-for-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>optimize a new website<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>if that site isn\u2019t easy to navigate or access on all devices. Your SEO efforts will only get you so far in this scenario. Without a good user experience, you\u2019ll struggle to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, this isn\u2019t mere speculation. Google has released a number of algorithm updates that have shown us how much value is placed on user experience. In Summer 2021, Google\u2019s <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofllow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/advanced\/experience\/page-experience\" target=\"_blank\">Page Experience update<\/a> highlighted the importance of UX in web design. Additional updates, like mobile-first indexing and other user experience ranking signals, have long-since confirmed Google\u2019s commitment to providing web searchers with the most valuable results on the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, it doesn\u2019t just come down to having great content optimized for search by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/search-engine-optimization-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>Professional SEO company<\/strong><\/a>. You also need to have a website that\u2019s easy and pleasant to use. Without that, visitors won\u2019t care how insightful your content is. You have to remove those initial accessibility barriers in order for your content to be appreciated by both customers and search engines.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Which UX and Web Design Mistakes Can Hurt Your Rankings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that Google will prioritize websites with great design. When two sites have otherwise equal offerings, the site with the better design will win out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"712\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/web-design-hurt-your-SEO.png\" alt=\"Is website Design hurt your SEO?\" class=\"wp-image-984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/web-design-hurt-your-SEO.png 712w, https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/web-design-hurt-your-SEO-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, you\u2019ll want to do everything you can to rise to the top. With that in mind, let\u2019s examine the web design pitfalls that can cause your rankings to tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc4e Slow Site Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts have known for years that site loading speed could have a substantial impact on user experience and on site rankings. But the recent Page Experience update served as an important reminder for even the most seasoned SEO experts that site speed should be prioritized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is one of Google\u2019s new Core Web Vitals, which were a major factor in this most recent algorithm update. LCP essentially measures how long it takes for the biggest element on a given page to fully load for a web user. It basically shows how long it takes for a page to load enough for a user to really appreciate and interact with a page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other measurements related to site speed, of course. But if you\u2019re focusing on LCP, you\u2019ll want the load time to be under <strong>2.5 seconds<\/strong> from the moment a page is clicked. Fortunately, there are a variety of tools you can use to measure site speed (and LCP, specifically) to figure out where improvements can be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we know that delays of just a few seconds can have a massive impact on both bounce rate and conversion rate, you\u2019ll be missing out in a major way if you don\u2019t address site speed. Not only will customers leave your site just as quickly as they arrived, but slow loading times can drive your rankings into the dirt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc4e Lack of Mobile-Friendliness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some business owners assume that they don\u2019t need to worry much about mobile customers. But according to Google, over <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/marketing-strategies\/app-and-mobile\/mobile-web-traffic-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\">half of all web traffic<\/a> now comes from mobile devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That may mean that the majority of your prospective clients are going to find you using their smartphones. And if your site isn\u2019t accessible on mobile, you\u2019ll end up leaving money on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A website that isn\u2019t easy to use on mobile is going to cause frustration from the start. With so many other options available to customers, they\u2019ll quickly abandon your site and do business with a competitor instead. That\u2019s a mistake you can\u2019t afford to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t forget: since Google now indexes the mobile version of sites and pages first, that\u2019s what matters most for your rankings. Your site needs to provide a consistent experience across all devices in order to make the most of your <a href=\"https:\/\/semify.com\/?Why-Aren%E2%80%99t-My-SEO-Efforts-Getting-Results?&amp;AID=1864\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">SEO efforts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a mobile-friendly website is good, but investing in responsive design is even better. Responsive web design will automatically sense how a site is being viewed and adjust accordingly to create the best possible experience for the user, whether they\u2019re using their smartphone or a laptop computer to browse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dismissing the importance of mobile customers will do your business a big disservice. In 2021 and beyond, there\u2019s really no excuse for a site that isn\u2019t mobile-friendly. If it\u2019s been more than five years since your last site redesign or you\u2019ve never checked out your website from your smartphone, it\u2019s time to make a change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc4e Intrusive Interstitials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once upon a time, pop-up ads might have been the bane of your existence online. They were spammy, scammy, and generally obnoxious. But over time, pop-up windows have improved significantly. Now, they\u2019re most commonly used to promote special website offers, newsletter sign-ups, and other offerings from a given brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many businesses, pop-ups like these really pay off. Brands use them because their conversion rates tend to be quite high. The catch is that they need to be used correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intrusive interstitials are specific kinds of pop-up ads. Google defines them as pop-up windows that block the majority of a given page. Many are difficult to close or dismiss. This can create a bad user experience, especially for mobile users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"577\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Intrusive-Interstitials.png\" alt=\"Bad Experience in Mobile\" class=\"wp-image-985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Intrusive-Interstitials.png 577w, https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Intrusive-Interstitials-300x186.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Source: Google<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since mobile users have less screen room to work with (and have to use their fingers, rather than a cursor, to close a window), these interstitials are considered to be frustrating and disruptive. When you\u2019re focusing on UX design, that\u2019s exactly what you <em>don\u2019t<\/em> want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Google has said for years that these kinds of pop-ups can cause ranking issues. Back in 2017, the company announced that intrusive interstitial use can cause ranking devaluation in mobile search. And since we know mobile traffic is starting to dominate, you\u2019ll want to remove these pop-ups to protect everything you\u2019ve worked for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean you have to discontinue your use of website pop-ups. You\u2019ll just need to make sure that they\u2019re responsive, appropriately sized, and easy to close. That way, you can still enjoy the perks that pop-up ads provide without negatively impacting the user experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Fix Your Site to Fix Your Rankings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s clear that there are a number of common website design issues that can have an adverse effect on your site rankings. Fixing these issues can help you make the SEO progress you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, good web design isn\u2019t all you\u2019ll need to rank on the first page of search results. You\u2019ll also need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mavencluster.com\/content-marketing-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>create high-quality content<\/strong><\/a> on a consistent basis, improve your domain authority, and ensure your web pages are optimized properly. But by fixing (or even avoiding) these aforementioned mistakes, you\u2019ll set yourself up for SERP success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Race to the Top of SERPs, Is Your Site Holding You Back?
