That’s why an estimated 53% of them make at least half of their work purchases online.Your website needs to offer them the answers they need: fast.We’ve given our four top tips for B2B web design success, and some examples of B2B websites that have absolutely nailed it. We’ve also included a roundup of the best B2B website design agencies to build yours. B2B website design best practiceFollow these top tips for a B2B website that looks great and delivers results:1. Prominent value proposition with a CTAWhen a customer lands on your website, there’s no time to play it cool. They need to see your value proposition (the unique benefit that you’re offering), and a call to action (CTA). This needn’t be a pushy sales pitch; you can offer a free trial, direct them to a more specific part of the site or suggest they ‘find out more’.2. Keep the design simpleWe bet you could talk at length about why we should choose your product or service, but your homepage isn’t the place to dump all this information. Nor should you overcomplicate the design. Keep it short, sweet and stripped-back: minimalism isn’t just a design trend, it makes good business sense.3. Long scrolling with animationsLong scrolling is big news in the world of website design. It basically means having a homepage that the user can scroll down to receive bite sized amounts of information at a time. When combined with good imagery, copy and subtle animations, this is a great way to tell your story.Users love to scroll; it’s how they interact with social media sites, and the rise of mobile searches means scrolling is on the up. You should still have a menu at the top of your page for those who are searching for a specific bit of information, or who like to navigate more traditionally.4. Monitor and improveThere’s no feeling quite like seeing your completed website in action for the first time. That doesn’t mean it’s time to sit back and put your feet up! Your website may be everything you dreamed it would be, but you need to monitor how users interact with it. Use a tool such as Hotjar to analyse where people spend the most time, click the most and eventually drop off. At the very least, gather a sample of people to test it on in person.Once you’ve gathered your interaction insights, it’s time to make the necessary adjustments. Things as small as moving a CTA or making an image clickable could have a huge impact on your bottom line.So this is the theory behind great B2B web design. Now let’s take a look at the businesses that have absolutely nailed it. 4 examples of great B2B website designThese businesses have harnessed the power of the best practice tips above to create engaging and effective websites. If it’s inspiration you’re after, look no further: 1. Quid Why we love it:We love Quid’s long scrolling format, but what we love most is the simplicity of what’s ‘above the fold’ (ie. the portion of a website that’s instantly visible without scrolling or clicking). A concise value proposition, punchy copy and a striking image makes Quid stand out from the crowd. 2. Grammarly Why we love it:When you land on the Grammarly site, you’re greeted with an animation that can only be described as hypnotic. Scroll down, and the greatness continues; subtle animations, clear copy and plenty of white space. With loads of social proof indicators, such as the star rating and testimonials, Grammarly has nailed B2B and B2C appeal. 3. iZettle Why we love it:iZettle have a really good looking product, and that’s not something that many other POS providers can say. So, how can they get this across? Ultra-cool imagery, and a design that makes it pop. We also love the way they’ve guided users to a simple, relaxed CTA asking what type of business they have. 4. Asana Why we love it:Asana is a tool to order and streamline your organisation’s workflow. It’s only right, therefore, that their own website should be ordered and streamlined, and it sure is. Once again, a simple value proposition and two prominent CTAs makes this a highly effective design.
