"The Smart Web Site ? Navigating The Field Of 7 Red Flags"

? 2002 by Scott T. Smith, Copywriting.Net

Figuring out what makes a smart, profitable Web site is a process of
elimination. Look around at what's out there on the Web. Take a very close look at your competitors by inputting your key words into a search engine. You will be amazed by what you find.

There are certainly sites that are great, and full of good ideas that you can take and make your own. But the majority could use a good housecleaning.

Let's define a smart Web site by first identifying the various red flags. Get rid of these problem areas Diego Perotti Jersey , and the smart Web site is revealed.

There are 7 main reasons why Web sites fail in their basic structure, even before they begin to market their presence to customers. People will visit Web sites for 3 primary reasons: to find information, to be entertained, or to make a purchase. Listed here are the roadblocks that get in their way.

1. Red Flag #1- Contact Information Is Difficult To Find

(Somewhere, deep beneath some hidden link lurks the contact information.
You know it is there, because nobody would be so stupid as to leave this
crucial part out. Would they..?)

Knock this red flag down by putting your contact information on the home
page Daniele De Rossi Jersey , and adding links between pages within your site. Include name, phone, fax, email, and surface mail address prominently. Show visitors clearly on your home page how to place an order with you. Make it easy for them.

2. Red Flag #2- Not User-Oriented

("How about giving visitors really useless information about something I
find "cute," or that really tickles my personal funny bone? What if I bury the content I've advertised -- the material my potential visitors are hungry to find -- beneath layers of my exceptional personality? After all Cengiz Under Jersey , this is my Web site. Isn't it all about ME?")

The truth of the matter is that visitors to your site are totally
self-centered. They are looking for what they can gain for themselves, and they want it NOW. Give it to them first, beginning with the home page, or they will be gone in a click and they won't be back, ever.

Right away you must give them an up-front reason to stick around, and
to get lost in your site. Tell them to BOOKMARK your site. Demonstrate in your writing and graphics that they have arrived at their dream site Bruno Peres Jersey , filled with benefits for them, about them, answering their specific and important needs. PS: Tell them about "YOU" later.

3. Red Flag #3- Too Difficult To Navigate

("This site best viewed through Netscape Navigator version 18.c- download a copy now -- only 18,000k, so smoke 'em if you got 'em because it'll be awhile -- bye for now, but then come on back so you can proceed. By the way Bogdan Lobont Jersey , we've modeled this site after a rat maze, because our feeling is the more intellectually challenged you are, the greater appreciation you will have for our fabulous content- IF you can find it, because there are a ton of links taking you away from here to other sites all the heck over cyberspace?")

This red flag flaps very loudly indeed. Here are 4 simple rules to observe:

- Everything you offer visitors should be no more than 2 clicks away.

- Your sales information is never more than 1 click away.

- Prominent links at the top of pages get higher click-through rates than those buried deep within.

- Organize your site like your favorite magazine cover. The cover equals the home page; the articles headlined are all your other pages. Just like you when you read a magazine, not every articleWeb page will have the same appeal for a visitor. Provoke their response with a headline, 'forcing' them to click and take a look inside.

4. Red Flag #4- Too Many Bells And Whistles

("Less is more? Says who? We're on the leading edge Andrea Romagnoli Jersey , so we go for titanic graphics; really dark screen colors to separate us from all those other sites; 3D, textured backgrounds for the sake of interest (just don't try to read our pages); frames, just because we can; lots of jiggling java and other "cool stuff," at least a dozen a screen? And sound -- just download the extension! So you connect at 14.4 kbps -- so what? We're worth the wait!")

Definitely not. Until the online world has across-the-board access to high speed modems, and everyone uses the very same browser you do, it's best to follow these 7 basics:

- Keep it simple.

- Try to keep each page size under 30k Alisson Jersey , and never over 40k.

- Use a solid background on text-heavy pages (white is best).

- Test. Connect through a 14.4 kbps modem to learn how long it really takes to load.

- Don't put graphics at the top of your page, because they take longer to load. Place them beneath a benefit-laden headline and the opening salvo of your text.

- Don't put banners at the top of your page. If you do use them, place them 23 of the way down, and then only on the RIGHT HAND side of your page. Studies show this right justification increases their click-through rate significantly.

- Choose to use frames, java, Shockwave Alessandro Florenzi Jersey , Active X and all the other bells and whistles with the knowledge that a significant percentage of your customers can't use them (yet). In fact, these technical fireworks can cause their systems to crash. Not a good advertisement for your offerings, wouldn't you agree?

5. Red Flag #5- The "Un" Site: Never Finished, Never Updated

("Under construction -- see my wee little logo saying so? But I'm telling you, one of these day
