During these difficult times, businesses will face many challenges, and it will be essential to stay focused on finding ways to reinvigorate and improve operations in order to generate new leads as we come out of the coronavirus crisis. 

How can you do that in your business?

But where do you start doing this?

Here’s how you can use a mobile app and website design to improve your business during the COVID-19. 

Increasing the ways that customers can interact with your business will be vital in order to survive the financial downturn following the COVID-19 outbreak. 

One of the most effective ways to do this is by creating an app.

One of the best ways to bring traffic to your website is through search engine optimization.

Improving existing content will improve the domain authority of your site; this will cause it to sit higher in the SERPs.

It is vital to check for problems in your site. If you don’t spot them, your site visitors will and issues in the usability of the site may lead to abandoned pages. 

However, this can be quite a long and arduous job. 

The downtime that your business is experiencing may be the ideal time to carry out these usability checks. 

To ensure your website is accessible to all of its visitors, you should check that it is compatible with any device, using any operating system, and any web browser. 

Visit your site from every type of device possible: desktop, tablets, android smartphones, and iPhones.

From each device, use every available browser and check every function of the site. 

You will need to run a series of tests to make sure that your website is functioning fully. 

These will include: 

Visitors to your website will expect it to load within three seconds. If it doesn’t load quickly, they will go to your competitor’s site.

You should also check the speed of your website using Google page speed insights. This handy tool will give you an indication of the aspects of your site that are causing it to load slowly. 

Once you have run all of your tests, you should set to work on fixing any errors that you have found. 

Once all of these are fixed, you should retest them.
