If you are running a logistics business, you definitely need a website to grow your revenue & clientele.
But if this is the first time that you are developing a website, you may not be sure about the features that your logistics website should have.
In this blog post, we have shared 7 essential features that your logistics website should have.
#1 Services
The ‘Services’ section is perhaps the most important section of a logistics website.
In this section, you can showcase all of the services that you provide to your customers.
You can also go further to create sub-categories of the main services section. This will help your potential customers to find the information that they are looking for for their specific needs.
Additionally, you can also ask your web developer to showcase a teaser of your services on the homepage as well.
#2 Contact form
The contact form on your logistics website will help your targeted customers to get in touch with you. You can have all the required fields in your contact form according to the information that you need from your users.
But you must ensure that the contact form on your website shouldn’t be too lengthy for the users to fill out. If your targeted users will find the contact form too lengthy and time-taking, they may not fill it completely.
Additionally, you also need to ensure that your web developer should build a responsive form.
Since most internet users these days access search engines and websites using their mobile phones, it’s imperative for your website to have a responsive form.
#3 Live chat
Live chat is another great feature that you can add to your logistics website.
What are the benefits of adding a live chat?
Your users can contact you instantly.
You can resolve the queries & concerns of your users instantly.
You can propose the appropriate services to your targeted customers on the spot through live chat.
Your website looks interactive & intuitive when your website developer integrates a live chat widget with your website.
#4 Get A Quote
One of the primary objectives to create a website for any logistics company is to grow business. It is, therefore, important to have a ‘Get a Quote’ section or form on the website to allow the potential customers to fill it and share their requirements with the company.
This form can be different from the contact form because here you can ask all the relevant questions from the users that are required to provide them with a quotation or a proposal.
#5 Responsive design
If you’re designing a website, you want to make sure that your web developer is designing it responsively. Responsive design is a way of designing a site where it will look good on any device, whether it’s a desktop computer or a tablet, or a mobile phone.
Responsive design is a web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience, easy reading, and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).
Having a responsive website means that your website will appear the same no matter what device it is being viewed on. Having a responsive website is important not only for a better user experience but also for search engines.
#6 Testimonials
Why testimonials?
Testimonials are an important part of any business website. A testimonial can be in written form, a video, or audio. They help build trust between you and your customers, and they’re a great way to show potential clients what other people think about your business.
Testimonials are important because they can help you to get more customers.
Testimonials are a great way to build trust with potential customers. Potential customers will be able to see how other people have benefited from your products and services, and this will help them to realize that they too can benefit from you.
