Author: Karen McGreeveyThe other day, I was cruising around the web taking in the various sites to see what I liked and didn’t like about them.
From your own such “travels”, you likely know, there are things that draw people to some sites and things that totally turn them away.
As a result of that cruising, I’ve come up with some tips, a checklist if you will, that you might use to help your Web site pass the “stay and read a while” test.
Since there are quite a few, I’ll list them over several days…so do come back to catch them all.
For starters, here are two simple, yet effective tips to make your site more user friendly…
1. Simple, Make It Simple – With all of the bells and whistles available these days, many people try to see how impressive they can be with their Web sites.
The end result may be attractive, but unless your goal is to win a contest for “best site”, impressing people with all that glitter will not necessarily be what makes you sales.
2. Make your site quick on the draw – Once a prospect lands at your site, you have little to no minutes to grab your customer’s attention.
So make sure you at least get a fair shot at grabbing his interest. As an example, if your site takes too long to load you will lose a lot of potential customers who won’t even give you or your site a second look.
That’s it for today; two simple but extremely useful tips to creating a more successful website. Keep an eye on this space for more tips.
