The integration of online tools and add-ons to your website can help to create a better overall user experience, as well as boosting your sales and ensuring that you achieve the best results possible. There are plenty of different options out there, so you need to choose the one that suits what you are offering the best. ​

Here are a few suggestions that you could aim to integrate seamlessly into your site:
  • Social Media
  • Carousels
  • Countdown Timer
  • Search Tool
  • Live Chat
  • Booking and Reservation Tools
  • Online Forms
We will have a deeper look at them in the following article.
Social Media 

Perhaps that most common and obvious add-on that you can put onto your website is social media integration. Essentially, this means that people who visit your website can easily share some of the content on your site. Platforms and tools such as MyWebsite builder from IONOS. already come with this built in, which helps to make your life an awful lot easier. 
Carousels 
​

Instead of just having a static website which does not offer anything new to people who remain on it for a significant amount of time, carousels serve to rotate through visual content. This way, you can convey even more information to your audience without requiring them to click on different parts of your site. Carousels also enable you to tailor your content and showcase it in an easy to digest way. To create a tailor made website for your business, there are a number of templates you can use.

There are few more exciting tools to add to your website than a countdown timer. If you have a specific product launch or an event coming up, a timer is a simple tool that can help to heighten the anticipation of anybody who comes across it. 

Search Tool 
​
In the modern world, people want to find what they are looking for on a website with minimal fuss. A search tool is a simple add-on that offers the user the opportunity to head straight to their topic of choice. If you have a particularly large website, this is an especially important tool that can help to keep users on the site. 
Live Chat and WhatsApp integration

These days, website users are looking to get instant answers to their questions. No longer are they willing to wait around for an extended period of time. One of the best ways of providing these answers is with a live chat function. You will either be the one who manages this yourself, or you will employ customer service representatives to take care of it for you. 

Booking and Reservation Tools 

If you run a business that relies on bookings and reservations, this is an online tool that is bound to increase the number of enquiries that you receive. These days, more and more people prefer to make their enquiries online, so if you do not provide the opportunity for them to do this, it can result in you experiencing a reduction in bookings.

Include Online Forms with WordPress
​
Another alternative tool to add to your website comes in the form of online forms. Essentially, these allow you to gather all sorts of information about your website users.
There you have just a few of the main tools that you can integrate onto your website to improve the overall user experience, and the site as a whole.
