Were you able to conclude who the company is and what they do within 5 seconds?
Even the most user-friendly and attractive websites are not successful when they are not achieving the needs of the company. Ask yourself: Do I as a first time visitor of this site get a clear sense of what they offer and who they are upon arrival at the website? Does the design point the visitors in the direction that they want them to go? Is there a clear strategy that is informing your design? If the answer to any of these questions are no, then the design is not at its full potential.
