7. 1. Appearances matter
We don’t buy any thing which doesn’t attract us. Same
way, a client visiting your website will leave without
buying any of your products until he/she finds you trustworthy.
A well-designed website assures the customer that he/she has
come to the right place and will get the best service.
Good design does not need to cost a lot – it just requires a web
developer that know what they are doing and understands
your market and your needs.
12. 2. Content, content, content
Malcolm Gladwell in his best seller “Blink” states “when you
meet someone for the the first time, or walk into a a house
you are thinking of buying, or read the first few sentences of
a book, your mind takes about two seconds to jump to a
series of conclusions”
This is also true when people visit your website. These
fleeting two seconds just might be the difference between
acquiring a new customer who generates revenue for you,
or simply a lost prospect who falls into the seductive arms
of one of your competitors.
CLEARLY TELL YOU CUTOMERS
WHERE
TO FOCUS THEIR ATTENTION
15. 3. Navigation
One of the most important goals of your website should be
to convert your readers into potential clients.
Your website should have easy and simple options.
Customers should be able to glance at you home page
and know where they need to go
18. 4. Make sure people can find you
Creating a website does not lead your business to success.
If your website does not show on Google, it means you are
losing many potential clients.
Mostly people land on your website by clicking on a link
from a search engine (i.e. Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc).
Search Engine Optimisation is the process of running your
website in a way that it could be found on search engines
and bring immense traffic to your website
KEY WORDS
21. 5. Keep it timely
There is nothing worse than an out-of-date website to
communicate to your customers that you don’t care.
Outdated offers, announcements for last year’s trade shows,
out-of-date staff lists – it all detracts from your image as an
efficient company that will provide great service.
Make sure your website has a user-friendly content
management system so you can update frequently and
easily.

24. 6. Capture and care for customer leads
Always remember that clients are attracted to your business if
you have any incentive or discounts to offer them.
Consider offering a promotion or limited time offer.
Whatever your goals, make the steps your visitors need to
take are clear and easy to follow.
Not everyone who visits your site is ready to buy so provide
reasons for them to contact you and provide to you their
name and email.

your marketing efforts.

Editor's Notes
Does anyone buy products or service from a non-appealing and less credible website?
How many of you here has got experience looking high and low for the information on websites and in the process getting frustrated? In reality, if consumers can’t find your information within 3 clicks, you will lose them forever.
Marketing is an investment not a liability only if spent wisely. If SEO is implemented correctly, you can gain a lot of highly targeted hungry prospects wanting to buy from you.
Although broad keywords have got large volume, exact key phrases are more highly focused in what your prospects are looking for, thus increasing in higher conversion.
Listing building is one of the most important asset a website can ever have. If you are able to establish trust with your list, you can always getting keep sales from your list instead spending more money on getting new traffic.
The internet will be dominated by social media in a few months time. Google will be integrating social signals into their search results to eliminate link buying ventures and promote quality content liked and shared by people. (Good indicator of excellent content).
In today’s highly competitive marketplace, you have to stand out from your competitors. You have to be unique and different. Why should your prospects buy from you and not from your competitors? Can you think of any?
