An Effective Web Design Is A Good Start
So many times each day, I peruse a client’s website and think to myself, “why is this person paying me to drive traffic to their site when no one will buy from it anyways?” People! Please listen here, you need to have an effective design BEFORE you spend thousands of dollars to drive traffic to it!!! Think of the opportunity costs lost by spending money to get a new visitor to your site only to have them bail because they find your navigation hard to follow or they feel that you asked too many personal questions in your lead generation form or the checkout process was too long. That visitor could now be possibly so turned off that they may elect to never come back to your site!
And most people are just missing the basics, like using colors that are not conducive to promoting purchases or having bad content with no calls to action. You need to make the process of signing up or making a purchase as easy as possible. This is Internet marketing and Web development 101 here folks! Take some time and money and invest it in a good design and some good content. And that will pay you dividends for years to come. Just because your current design is leaving you profitable does not mean that it is good. You could be missing out on so much more business that you have no idea about. One thing that everyone should have is an easy to find and use feedback section. You will learn more from your visitors by doing this than ANY analytics program could ever provide! I guarantee that you will be surprised from some of the comments that you get.
