This will help the audience remember the business’s or brand identity so that they will come back to buy their products or services.
User experience
An amazing user experience is essential for users to interact with a brand’s products or services on the website seamlessly. With a responsive design, people who visit the website will be able to access it quickly anywhere, even with devices other than laptops, such as tablets and smartphones. A users experience has proven to impact a user’s decision to purchase products or services. With a minimalistic and visually appealing website, people are more likely to engage with the information displayed on the website.
Time-sensitive content
The expiration link feature is useful for businesses that manage projects or offer services with specific timelines or deadlines. For instance, when a business wants to launch a workshop, they will have to create a landing page with Notion Sites. However, it is only limited to a small number of participants, and forms must be filled out by certain dates before the workshop’s scheduled date. Thus, they could use the feature to set the date on which people can no longer assess.
