The visual appeal of a website has a significant contribution in the overall online business success. Once the potential customer finds you on the search engine and clicks on your website link, you have managed to pass step 1 which is to generate leads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, the next challenge is to engage the potential customer so that the customer does not click the close window. This is where the visual look and feel of your website comes into action.
