Is your website really

• Do people enter your website only to find a maze?

• Is it hard for other viewers to link to your pages?

Every time this happens, you will end up losing precious customers.

• Do NOT exclude your name from your own website.

• Make sure that your name is mentioned at least in a few places on your site. No need to plaster it all over, but your presence should be felt. It will give your site a little recognition.

Make your site reader

• Aesthetics play a very important part in making a website succeed. A dull, drab site will not be re-visited, even if it has really good content.

• The colors you choose for a website are very important.

• Certain colors enhance certain moods. For example, green is good for concentration.

• Using positive colors will help your visitors feel more comfortable.

Appearance

• Make it a point to have a good background scheme; nothing too loud or flashy.

• Light colored backgrounds with dark text always works, but you can also do the opposite. The point is to make your website easy on the eyes.

• If you do insist on having some zany designs, set the image as the background for the page, and put a plain white table on every page that contains text.

plays a big role6

Be

• Make sure your users get the message you are trying to convey

• The web page should be self-explanatory, leaving absolutely no room for doubt.

• Beating around the bush will only test readers’ patience. So DON’T do that!

Get users to

• Take the strongest point that your website has to offer, and present it to the users

• A subtle mixture of both visual and textual details should tell users what they are in for

• This allows readers to trust your site, as it gives them a fair idea of what it is all about

Write

• Be direct with consumers. Long, drawn out writing will work for print, but never for online media.

• If you stray away from the topic at hand, it is likely you will lose a lot of potential customers. Stick to talking business instead.

• Use simple words. Using long and ‘intellectual’ words will only make you sound like an idiot

Smart3

Keep It

• The more complicated you make your website, the more potential buyers you will shoo away.

• Your site should be designed in a way that anyone can understand what message it is trying to give out.

Getting

• If you want sales, you have to let people get in touch. Call to action links have to be included on all pages.

• When you are adding a call to action link, make sure it is subtly done. Readers get turned off with too much sales talk, and patronizing them will not help either.
