Whether a business has just got off the ground or has been established for
years, start-up and long running companies are looking to the internet to
expand their sales as well as service to customers. Many new websites are
going up and with so many people opting to go with the cheapest route or
the quickest design process, sometimes the quality of a website gets left
behind. Lets face it, you wouldn't want a possible client coming into your
office, looking around at a mess, so why would you send them to your
virtual office looking like one?
People very often go to a companies website to get more information, it is
allot easier and more convenient then calling them or writing them a
letter. The first thing they see when they go to their site(that is, the
first thing that pops into their heads) is either "wow, these guys are
professional, I want to deal with them" or "there site is awful, how can
they act professional if they do not look professional"(well that may not
be everyone's exact words, but you see what I am getting at). We all think
this when we visit a website, haven't you ever felt a little bit easier or
more relaxed when purchasing something off a site with a professional
look? I bet you that if a site doesn't look professional then you won't
even consider purchasing an item or using their service!
Another important aspect of a website is how long it takes to download.
Allot of people say if it takes longer then 30 seconds to download then
people will leave, this is true. I know that even on a DSL connection if a
site is taking too long to download I will jump to another site. If your
site doesn't download in at least 30-60 seconds for all users(dial up
taking a little longer), then you need to re-design your site.
Your site must not only look good and download quick, it must work good.
There is nothing worse then visiting a website with pages that haven't
been created yet, script errors popping up and only half of the
information seems to be there. This will definitely annoy anyone who is
visiting your website, they probably won't come back for a while, if at
all.
Another important aspect of a good website is allowing visitors to contact
you in one way or another. A simple email address or contact form on a
contact us page will do wonders. People like to know they can get in touch
with you with just a simple click of the mouse. Make sure that there is a
link to your contact us page on every page, including in your main
navigation. This will give users a feeling of being close to you, as they
can contact you at any time.
Use these tips as well as your own common sense and you will be well on
your way to having a great Looking, Working & Downloading Website!
