Website creation is a craft and a process. It needs certain techniques to be successful. Thus, skills matched with the right planning and strategies will surely create a website that is both effective and profitable. One main thing to keep in mind though is the ‘usability’ of your website and not only the visual aspect of it. Well…it’s not that appeal is not important.
Remember that keeping your focus on your purpose and objectives will get you back to the main reason why you want to make a website to begin with – gain visitors. Here are some steps to apply to achieve this.
Put Yourself In Your Visitors’ ShoesThink of the qualities that you want in a website when you hit the Web. Do you want good content? Do you want to make sure that you’re using a secure site? So when you create your own website, remember the things that you want from others. Most likely that’s what your own visitors want from you. Most users just skim over your pages. Make your website catchy and at the same time ‘meaty’. In other words, try to meet your prospect clients’ expectations so they will stay.
Put Value in People’s TimeRemember that your visitors are busy people. They have their own business as well. So don’t waste every second of the moment that they choose to click on your domain name and prefer your site over others. To achieve this, present ideas in a clear-cut manner. Don’t simply pose questions to your readers. They are there to seek for solutions not answer your questions.
Make Them Stick With YouYou can attain this by managing the main focus of your website. By providing a clear structure, you can retain their focus and attention as well. Don‘t allow them to wander off…they won’t come back. Be moderate in visual effects usage. Make them crave for more by making it an enhancing ‘first-time’ experience. In providing content, present it in an easy-to-use manner. Provide clear functionality of your site. Blend a simple user-interface and a good, readable content.
