2025 Trends and Internet Users’ Prudence
Already at the end of 2024, several consumer behavioural movements have become clearer with notable current events. The growing questioning of the entrepreneurial practices of certain public figures and influencers, and the numerous worrying incidents relating to the security of personal data, and the arrival of large-scale artificial intelligence in the communication media have all left indelible traces. These factors have profoundly affected consumer choices and actions over time.
Here is the main article which presents in detail the summary of the W+M trends announced and which highlights the key elements to remember for the year to come.
Consumers are particularly alert and notice what merchants and retailers put online and the reputation or comments of the business in the community. Demonstrating your expertise has never been so tinged with concrete facts, verifiable statistics and informed successes.
Fast and efficient digital tools
Even more so in 2025, digital tools must help and disclose the basic details of a business quickly and efficiently.
When a visitor is looking for information such as a quote price, details and offer descriptions, or simply the address of the service, it’s pleasant and appreciable to find this information in less than a minute. Just one or two clicks. This ease of access improves the user experience and increase customer satisfaction.
Today’s consumers no longer want to spend hours searching for essential. Especially when they’re checking the authenticity of a website. It’s sometimes frustrating to scroll endlessly through a page on a phone just to try to locate the contact link. This can affect the experience and trust in the site and the company.
At work, we often have to search for price estimations. Generally, we have one or two hours in our schedule to provide a list to give to the management. It’s therefore certain, for example, I won’t choose a service that doesn’t give these essential details on their site. Instead, I’ll move on to the next of 30 ads. I will surely include in the list the sites and companies who displayed prices in a visible and accessible way from the first page. For many active Internet users, this demonstrates a certain professionalism, because the company has clearly understood what visitors search on their site. This is a transparency that I greatly appreciate, especially when I have to do this research in the morning for a request from Europe; unable to contact businesses and contractors at 5 a.m. to get a price.

5 important website editing tips for 2025.
A Proactive Website
An effective site is an essential tool that effectively present products or services, but also actively interact with visitors and potential customers. By adopting a dynamic approach, such a site can respond to user needs in real time, providing an enriching and engaging experience. A true 24-hour business.
As a web manager for corporate sites, there are aspects to comply, update, test the functionality and, above all, make sure the site is understood by the readership.
So, besides attractive aesthetic elements, intuitive navigation and relevant content, a current, well-designed website that is appreciated by visitors, should include this in 2025.
Showing All, on All Platforms
A general display including the conditions of use, merchant policies and the rules of electronic commerce accessible on all distribution platforms, whether on a laptop or on a phone.
It’s particularly important to pay attention to the mobile version of some websites, as this sometimes requires separate programming within the management system. This may result in situations where some information isn’t displayed on the mobile version, as it has been specifically unchecked by default to appear on these devices.
Being Able to Refuse Data Sharing
A warning of the collection of data by cookies, which also includes the essential choice granted to the visitor to refuse the sharing and use of their personal information, must be displayed on the site.
Businesses Don’t Come from the Space
A location corresponds to the official headquarters of the company, and the associated service or the origin of the merchandise offered. Generally, a location is translated by a physical address, such as that found in the Quebec business register.
This is a point that can be subject to debate, especially for freelancers or public figures who carry out their activity independently. It’s then advisable to think about effective ways to make your publishing location known to the readership, while providing a clear idea of contact hours, considering your time zone and availability.
Otherwise, it becomes complicated to establish business with you, except by email, which, unfortunately, is often reminiscent of the behaviour of many fraudsters. It will therefore be essential to prove your credibility by means other than your website, unless, of course, you’re the Prime Minister or a figure worthy of general recognition, which isn’t usually the situation for startups or young professionals in the launch phase.
Show a Human on the Website
A friendly face, a clear idea of the number of people working within the company, or even a well-defined human presence on the presentation pages, without forgetting a warm and engaging introduction of each member of the team. It’s important to demonstrate that there is a genuine person on the other end of the email address or greeting. Indeed, we all want to see who we intend to do business with and make a meaningful connection.
Menu and options please. Please?
Well-designed sections at the top of the page and at the bottom of the site, which display menus and options useful for the smooth running of company communication, are essential to ensure easy access to information. Sections dedicated to careers and job offers, FAQs and purchase return conditions, and sections reserved for media and sales documents, must be visible and on all pages and sections of a website.
It’s also crucial to watch out for endless scrolling display options of suggested contents, countless recommendations for additional store items, or scrollable form choices with 400 options on mobile; These are frequent examples where it becomes impossible to complete anything to get in touch.
It’s therefore important to test the programming on all versions, to make a purchase and cancel it to check the process and the emails, both on laptops and mobiles, or even to send each other shared articles by email before an announcement to review image formats on your computer and phone.
The best is to create an internal email mailing list and send tests that you must open in both formats: one, when you’re with the phone in front of the coffee machine, and the other, returning to the office to resettle. And there you have it, you have just verified your shipment in less than a minute, ensuring that everything is working correctly, besides keeping your entire team informed of your department’s activities.
Conclusion
It’s difficult to conclude this article about a good website presentation without talking of phishing and the behaviour to adopt when we make purchases on the Internet.
Trusted websites don’t ask for personal information other than what was previously completed by the customer during the purchase sequence or the subscription. If there is contact with a customer, like a confirmation of the postal address following a return for example, the company will identify itself clearly and confirm the sending address. No other information is required and need to be exchanged by both parts.
That said, virtual commerce is magnificent and very useful for the entire population. It’s up to us, merchants, retailers and professionals to take advantage of these opportunities and produce a quality and secure website for the well-being of all.
May 2025 be a good year for your business!
Best,
Jeff
