Your Website Isn't a Standalone: How a Website Designing Service Creates a Central Hub for an Omnichannel Brand
In the past, a business' digital footprint was a simple one-dimensional undertaking: a static website as a digital brochure. Now, the consumer journey is multi-faceted and complex. It can quickly shift from a social media ad to a website, from a mobile experience to a brick-and-mortar location, and from an email to a service chat. Being connected in this way means you are exhibiting an omnichannel brand. For businesses to thrive in this new landscape, it takes more than a website, it takes a home base for the brand to collate all of those experiences. This is the strategic function of a modern Website Designing Service.
We are Digishot and we know your website is not an island anymore. It is the center of an entire digital ecosystem, and our Web Development Company has the best talent to build that center so there can be a seamless experience.
What is an Omnichannel Brand, and Website Designing Service matters for it?
An omnichannel brand experience is a continuous, same, and seamless journey that a customer has with a company depending on the channel or device they are on. A multi-channel brand experience allows each channel (website, app, social media) to exist independently from one another; where an omnichannel experience supports a consistent interaction with each channel being interconnected. Data and messaging should flow freely between channels, and all other channels.
For example, a customer can:
-
Find a product on Instagram,
-
Add it to their cart on your website,
-
Receive an email about the abandoned cart,
-
Then purchase the item through your mobile app.
An omnichannel experience ensures consistency across experience, messaging, and branding for the very same customer. The actual website itself makes this fluidity possible.
The Role of a Website Designing Service as the Central Hub
The website is the most measurable digital asset a brand has. It is truly the home base of all digital channels. All others should be launched and connected from the website. An experienced Website Development Company knows how to effectively make that happen.
1. Centralization and Synchronization of Data
The website needs to be the source of all customer data. A reputable Website Designing Service connects the website to the critical business systems of the organization, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This means that:
-
Customer profiles are consistent across all channels.
-
A customer service representative on a live chat can see all of a customer's past purchases, social media interactions, and previous support tickets.
-
Personalization can be provided on all touchpoints from personalized email campaigns to dynamic content on the website.
2. Consistent Branding and Messaging
The website defines the visual and tonal guidelines for the entire brand. A reputable Website Designing Service ensures that a brand's style guide, voice, and key messaging are accurately presented on the website. This website becomes the guide for all other channels, from social media graphic to email newsletter. Consistency provides trust, and familiarity that is recognizable for the brand, regardless of where it interacts with a customer.
3. Seamless Cross-Channel Functionality
The website must make and encourage the transition across different channels seamlessly. Our Web Development Company will build in features such as:
-
"Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store" (BOPIS): A user in the site who looks up an item, identifies that it is in-stock, and makes the purchase on the website to pick up at the locations stores.
-
Live Chat and Chatbots: can all be stored on the website and funnel data to one common CRM. This would make the transition between automated chatbot and a live agent seamless.
-
Social Media Integration: links to social media pages, social login in sites will establish one profile identity for the user.
-
QR Codes and Landing Pages: There are QR Codes that can be displayed in a store or on printed material to link users to a very specific optimized landing page on the main website.
4. A Hub for Content and Engagement
The website is the centralized, ultimate content destination. Whether it is a blog, video gallery or resource center built on the website, it provides the quality, long-form content that can be appropriated to other channels. For example, a Digital Marketing Agency can take a pivotal statistic from a blog post on the website to use for a social media graphic, or take a short portion of a video as a paid ad campaign. This removes any moves the individual makes outside the site from becoming the authoritative piece of content that gets used to inform social media strategies, campaigns, and posts. Ultimately, it provides a single authoritative source for the content, while amplifying the site's SEO value and branding messaging.
