Your logo should be prominently displayed so that users know they're on the correct site. If you don't have a logo, a text-based description of the site will suffice.

The primary menu (or main menu) should be prominently displayed and contain all of the important links a visitor may need to quickly access. The menu should be concise and easy to use. The dropdown menu on Glimmernet.com is a mega menu with a cool blur effect on the rest of the site. The mega menu is not shown in this screenshot but you can see it the live version of the WordPress Website Design page.

The secondary menu generally appears above the primary menu and contains supporting information. In this screenshot you can see links to various places on the left and links to Glimmernet's social media profiles' on the right.

Breadcrumbs are a form of navigation that visually demonstrates to the user where they are in the site hierarchy. Not only do they aid in navigation and organization, but they're an important factor for search engine optimization, too.

The page title should be prominently displayed and easy to read. The naming of the page should closely align with the page content and the search engine optimization strategy as it's an important factor in getting your business to rank high in the search results.

This screenshot doesn't show one, but a subtitle is also a great addition to tell the users (and the search engines) what the page is all about.

Sometimes called a hero image or hero section, the banner image is usually a large image to serve as a visual interest piece of the page. In our case, it's an animated background to add a bit of motion and color to the site.

The privacy policy widget allows users to indicate their acceptance of the automated privacy policies including the cookie policy, terms of service, and more.

This widget stays pinned to the bottom of the screen as the user scrolls.

A live chat widget that allows visitors to directly interact with Glimmernet staff. Our solution connects you to an employee, however there are AI-based chat bots out there that can be used too.

Live chat can help you swiftly turn visitors into customers and provide stellar support for existing ones, but there can be a downside of implementing chat on your website if you're not prepared.

The Call To Action section (or CTA section) is simply a space on the page where you ask the user to complete an action that you want. It could be to complete a form, schedule an appointment, make a phone call, share your content on social media or anything else you need.

At the bottom of every page is a large footer that contains important links and information. The footer is typically consistent across all pages, with the exception of certain landing pages designed for digital marketing purposes.

The footer menu repeats information in the primary menu, but in a static list without the need to click dropdowns or view megamenus. The information should be well organized and easy to read. In this screenshot we have organized the menu items into four columns corresponding to three high-level services (web design, application development, and online marketing) plus a fourth column for contact information.
