What is a successful website?
Your website needs to be good at a number of things and we'll talk about those in a moment. Firstly and most importantly, when your website does what it sets out to do, then its successful. There's not much point having 100's of visitors a day to your website if no-one actually calls you, buys your products or services, or does whatever the purpose of the website it.
A successful website is a very powerful tool.
- A successful website attracts potential customers to you.
- It gives your customers the very best impression of your company.
- It generates enquiries month after month.
- And most importantly, it converts them into real customers.
“What do your potential customers see when they look for something you sell?
You really must take a look and think about it from their perspective.”
Why is it so important?
A successful website generates enquiries to your business week after week, month after month by influencing a visitor’s decision to take up your offer. Or in other words, it influences potential customers to do whatever it is you want them to do. (ie: Buy your products or services)
It allows you to present a powerful image of your business. But you only have about 5 seconds to do it. That’s how long it takes for people to make up their mind whether to stay or click the back button. So I’m sure you’ll agree, its vital you make a good first impression.
Your website is your company brochure. People want to see who you are and research your stock before actually buying from you. Anyone can browse through your products & services on the internet at any time of the day and night and feel completely comfortable being totally anonymous. In fact, many customers prefer this while researching a purchase. To some degree the internet has taken away the need for customers to walk into your business and talk to your sales people and as a result, fewer customers actually visit, preferring to telephone or email after looking at your website. When they do visit your company, they usually know exactly what they want and how much they can expect to pay well before stepping a foot inside or talking to any of your sales people. This is why having an effective website is so very important.
“I can help present your potential customers with a fresh, modern and professional website. It’s an extremely low cost way to make that important first impression to your customers.”
How to build a successful website and get it right.
Firstly, I don’t see why smaller companies can’t use the same techniques that large budgeted companies do. Perhaps not to the same flashy expensive extent but the basic principals are the same. Successfully promoting your business online is a step by step process, it’s a cycle of growth and continuous improvement and there's a few things we need to do before we jump straight in.
When starting the process of designing your business website, we need to encompass a whole range of aspects including; the content (the words), the website's structure, the actual web design, the creative, images & graphics, website & visitor analysis, regular website maintenance and continuous improvements. It doesn't end once the website is released or launched. In fact, it’s quite the opposite; that’s where it starts.
Lets take a look a the process of creating a successful website in more detail.
“I truly believe every business has something to gain from successfully promoting themselves on the internet. Don’t get left behind, make a start today. It’s your business we're talking about.”
