5 action (thinking) points for the eBusiness Champions


1. Be critical when you look at your own site.Keep an open mind and take on board the new ideas. Remember while you are busy making excuses for why the web isn’t working for you the competition is busy getting ahead.

2. Make sure you have something in place to measure your web site performance.We recommend Google Analytics (If you haven’t got it and need help setting it up speak to us)

3. Look at your traffic levels and conversions, are you happy with them?

4. Look at your site, what do you want it to do? Has it got a clear goal and a strong linear path to the goal(s)?

5. Have you got good content, are you catering for a good landing experience both on the home page and details pages?

Questions?


Please note, things could changeWe are using the Halsbury site as the main example, but we implemented the changes across 5 sites.Halsbury.com and other site examples used are no longer maintained by me, so they may change in the future.
