Building trust is the most important part of your online presence.
You can run ads, you can do SEO, you can do social media… but if users don’t trust you, they will not buy or submit a lead form.
Trust = conversions.
So today I will share practical — REAL — things you can do to increase website trust very fast, even if your website is brand new.
1. Add Real Social Proof
People don’t trust what you say about yourself.
They trust what others say about you.
You should add:
-
Testimonials with real names + (optional) photo
-
Case studies
-
Success screenshots
-
Social media comments
-
Google reviews embed
Even 3 solid reviews increase conversion more than 1000+ words feature text.
2. Clearly Show Your Purpose + Value Proposition
Within 3 seconds a user must know:
-
What you offer
-
Who is it for
-
Why it is better / useful
Put this directly in your hero section.
Not poetic.
Not fancy agency type lines.
Straight benefit based sentence.
3. Remove Heavy Pushiness
Every website that looks desperate loses trust instantly:
-
Too many popups
-
Too many flashing offers
-
Fake countdown timers
-
“Only 2 left!” type forced scarcity
This signals low trust.
Make your site feel calm + serious + helpful.
4. Add Real Contact Presence
People want to know they can reach you if needed.
Add:
-
Contact form
-
Email
-
Phone (If possible WhatsApp)
-
Social profiles
-
Physical city or region (no need full address)
This instantly removes scam vibes.
5. Make Your Forms Simple & Friendly
Forms should not feel stressful.
Shorter form = higher trust.
Clear labels.
Clean spacing.
Friendly language.
A good contact form builder is extremely important.
You can use VPSUForm — it allows conditional logic, file upload, webhook integration, custom email confirmations, and more — but with very simple UI.
(VPSUForm helps get more conversions because users don’t feel friction)
6. Use Consistent Visual Branding
Don’t use 9 colors
Don’t use 6 fonts
Don’t use outdated stock images
Simple + modern design = people trust you more.
Pick:
1 primary brand color
1 secondary
1 neutral (gray)
Keep consistent across every page.
7. Reduce Slow Load Time
Slow websites create “low trust” feeling + users bounce instantly.
Do:
-
compress images
-
lazy load media
-
avoid too many scripts
-
use caching plugin if WordPress
Fast website = trusted website.
Final Thought
Trust is not about design only.
It is about feeling safe.
If your website feels safe… users stay longer, fill forms more, buy more, share more.
Do these systematically and your website grows faster than your competitors who only focus on traffic but not trust.
Want to make your forms more user-friendly too?
Start using forms that adapt to users instead of showing everything at once.
