Tips To Improve Your Website Design To Make It Profitable
Tips to Improve your website design to make it
profitable and not to join the failed list. A proper web design will
dramatically increase the conversion rate. Most webmasters ignore the
basic structure of a website and instead concentrate on unnecessary or
unproductive things.
Create an attractive and good looking website but without compromising
on the basic structural needs of a website to make your online venture a
profitable one.
Avoid Splash
Page
When it comes to business website You have only few seconds to impress
the visitors that your site will provide the answer to what they are
looking for.
Putting a splash page as opening page and that too without any useful
information about your site will drive the visitors away. Usually the
visitors don't bother to explore a site beyond the splash page. Use
attractive graphics appropriately in your first page and don't over use
it.
Have a design that portrays your product
or service
Design your site to assure the visitors even in their first glance that
they are at the right place and they will get what they want. Mere
attractive graphics that are not related to your business theme will not
make conversion.
Your website design, color and graphics should tell in uncertain terms,
what your site is all about. Have a header that clearly tells about your
product or service.
Keep an easy to follow navigation menu
Your website's navigation menu is plays an important role in keeping the
visitors for a long time at your site. Keep it simple and easy to
follow. Write the menu labels with clear meaning. Your main menu labels
should not confuse the visitors. They should get a clear picture of what
they will see if they click the menu.
Don' give too many options in your first page. This will confuse the
visitors and they will simply leave your website. Group your contents
into few main categories to reduce the choice. This avoid the visitors
from becoming disoriented and confused.
Make the impression why your site is
different
Take any field, there are a lot of competing sites. To withstand
competition and make more conversions your website should tell the
visitors a clear information about the product or service you are
offering.
Tell the benefit of your site and who will benefit from it. Tell, how
your site is different and what the visitors will get from you which
they won't get from sites that offer similar service. Have a headline
that answers their question or the benefit they would get by sticking
around your site.
Write a scannable copy
Visitors of any website won't read the copy word by word. They will
usually glance through the page looking for the information they want.
They will be looking for clues that will help them understand what the
site is about.
Use subheads, bulleted list and some white space to make your visitor
easily glance through your page. Make some words bold to highlight your
points. Keep your copy in not too wider format.
Place contact link in the home page
Place the contact form or link prominently in your front page. Making
your visitor to search for the contact form will frustrate them and they
will leave your site. For the sites offering services online placing the
contact form itself instead of contact link, in the front page is
recommended. For the sites with a long copy sales letter or selling
catalogue products this is not recommended.
Keep your website design simple and easily navigable to get more
conversions. You will lose more visitors if you make them to click so
many times to get the information they want. Each extra click will make
you lose a lot of visitors.
To
lay the foundation for your financial independence improve your website
design to make it profitable.
