The Internet has billions of web pages all competing for the interest of web users.\u00a0 Within any given industry there can be thousands or millions of websites.\u00a0 Once they are discovered, your site visitors will make a snap decision as to whether or not they want to continue viewing your website.<\/p>\n

The Initial Impression<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The immediate impression someone gets of your website will determine whether or not they stay on your site or hit the \u201cback\u201d button.\u00a0 It is very important that your site be easy on the eyes, easy to navigate and clear in its purpose.<\/p>\n

Using videos on your homepage is a great idea. But make sure you use a method that loads and plays your videos quickly. If people have to wait for your video to buffer, they will very quickly get frustrated and leave.<\/p>\n

Have a clean and clear landing page and you will be able to capture the interest of more people.<\/p>\n

Make sure it takes less than 1-second for someone visiting your site to know what you are about.\u00a0 If you sell watches make sure there are watches on the landing page.\u00a0 If you are a lawyer make sure your landing page says where you practice and the type of law your practice.\u00a0 You have less than 2-seconds to make an impression, so make it count.<\/p>\n

Contact Informatio<\/strong>n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Contact information is important.\u00a0 If you have a website, there is no reason to use Gmail, Yahoo, AOL or other similar email addresses.\u00a0 Have an email address set for your specific domain.\u00a0 People will question the credibility of a website that uses free types of email address services.<\/p>\n

Have a phone number on your website – even if it is for a virtual phone system that takes a message or forwards the calls to your home or cell phone.\u00a0 Consumers want to see phone numbers on websites.<\/p>\n

Quality of Content<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The quality of your website content is vital.\u00a0 Make sure it is well written, error-free, clear and concise.\u00a0 Your failure on any one of these three points will make you lose credibility in the eyes of your target market.<\/p>\n

Consider the above tips and make sure your website conveys your are a professional, and that you what you are talking about as it relates to your product or service.<\/p>\n
