The Three Most Important Rules to Engage Visitors When They First Visit Your Website
Almost all websites are not designed to their full potential. Is yours?
Rule Number 1: Ease of Use. Would you explore a site that is hard to navigate and use?
So many websites are poorly created because the designer didn't have the foresight of 'usability' in the design and layout process. Huge amounts of money and resources are spent to get visitors to the site and they don't convert into a client or a returning visitor. Most visitors will leave in less than 10 seconds if they aren't captivated by what you have to offer on your site immediately.
Rule Number 2: Content is the key. How long would you listen to a badly told story?
Your web design is important but second to this is creating great 'marketing content'. You absolutely must engage your client with enticing headlines and words. Your visitors must know what you have to offer and what's in it for them (WIFM) when they first visit your site. The words must flow and be direct to the point and lead to a call to action. There must be a purpose to the site; convert your visitor into a repeat buying client.
Rule Number 3: Create Systems. Is your business running you?
Once you have proper usability, marketing content and a clear call to action, your website must have 'automatic systems and processes' to deliver your message to them until they purchase from you. Auto-responders and other methods are a great way to gather information from your visitor and convert them into repeat buying clients by sending them important information about what you do and how it may serve them best.
Bonus Tip: Make it Search Engine Friendly. Does Google even know you exist?
When creating your marketing content, it's best to have a professional writer to include text with keywords and keyphrases designed specifically for the search engines to pick up. This is a great way to drive traffic to your site. There is a fine line between usability, marketing content and search engine optimization. We realize this and other designers don't.
