DERNIERSThere are millions of websites available today, so what does it take to make your website stand out in the crowd. This is a very good question that is asked of us all the time. We all have different tastes but there are common values that most of us share when it comes to success.
Therefore, we
believe your website should have the following 10 business critical inherent
features to enhance the overall visitor experience. We are confident that the
following features will deliver you a successful website:
1. Professional Look
and Feel.
Having
a professional looking website will give it instant visitor appeal compared to
a poorly designed website that does nothing more than put visitors off straight
away. The look and feel of a UK
web design goes hand in hand and choosing the right colour, images and
content is a major factor and makes a significant difference.
2. Structured link navigation for easy access to buy or enquire.
Probably one of the
most important features for a visitor is to easily navigate through your
website to get the information they want instantly. The 3 click to info rule is
the most a visitor will take before they give in and go elsewhere.
3. Primary sales message to engage in products/services.
This is about targeting
the website to the needs of the visitor. When they land on your website in
search of your product or service, be sure to state exactly what you’re
offering from the start. The visitor will know they have landed on the right
website and continue to browse.
4. Clear consumer confidence messages throughout the website.
These are the secondary
pages that make up your web pages but very important for the vast majority of
visitors. Privacy policy – If you’re encouraging visitors to join the
newsletter or are using a customer database, it’s always advisable to stipulate
a privacy policy. Terms & Conditions – Well defined Terms and Conditions
about how you manage the product or service you offer to the consumer, they
will then know where they stand with you should something go wrong.
5. About Us page so visitors can relate that you're a real company.
Relationship is key to
growing a healthy customer base and visitors like to relate to the people or
company behind the web design. So, tell the visitor about your company, the
vision as a business and the products or services you deliver. Mention a
mission statement so that that can actually relate that you’re a company that
will be around for a long time. It makes a difference.
6. Contact Us page with email, telephone and postal address.
If a visitor is unsure
of a service or product be sure to let them know that they can contact you. A
telephone number is a clear sign that your happy to help and include your
opening times or office hours. Contacts at all touch points will further instil
customer confidence. This is especially important if you have an online store
with a shopping basket or shopping cart facility.
7. Focus on keywords throughout the website to do well in the search engines.
The fact that Internet Marketing
and Search
Engine Optimisation is very important to your website, spend a bit of time
defining the keywords that will be best suited to your overall proposition. If
you need help with this we can certainly help you.
8. Search Engine friendly SiteMap.
Search engine bots look
for site maps when they visit your website. Providing a standard HTML site map
will help improve the indexing of your web pages and allow bots to find web
pages that they might otherwise have missed. You can now also provide and
submit an XML site map which all the major search engines have took on as a
standard. Use your robots.txt to tell bots where to find your XML site map and
also submit it to Google Webmaster Tools and Yahoo Site Explorer.
9. Testimonials for visitor confidence.
This has been proven to
instill visitor confidence in an enquiry or buying decision. Visitors will look
to see what positive experiences other visitors have had and it will persuade
those visitors who are not quite sure to engage with you.
10. Hosting with fast response to load, visitors will leave if it takes longer than 4 seconds to load.
This is another
critical factor, response times and availability, good UK web hosting services
are essential. If you have a great website, you need a great UK hosting company to
keep it fast and available. If the pages take too long to load the visitor will
lose interest and go elsewhere.
