Your company's homepage is its face to the world.
If you want to grow your business, promote your company
or simply communicate with customers, it's vital to have a professional
web site.
Consumers are increasingly using the Internet to find out about products,
services and businesses. Estimates are that there is over one billion
internet users world wide. Businesses with a professional web site
are likely to reach new customers and turn potential "hits" into
real sales.
Homepages are said to be amongst the most valuable real estate in the
world. Each year, companies and individuals funnel millions of dollars
through a space that's not even a square foot in size.
A homepage's impact on a company’s bottom line
is far greater than simple measures of e-commerce revenues: The homepage
is your company's face to the world.
Increasingly, potential customers will look at your
company's online presence before doing business with you -- regardless
of whether they plan to close the actual sale online.
Design Priorities:
- Communicate clearly so that users understand
you. Users allocate minimal time to initial website visits, so you
must quickly convince them that the site's worthwhile.
- Provide the information users want. Users must
be able to easily determine whether your services meet their needs
and why they should do business with you.
- Offer simple, consistent page design, clear navigation, and
an information architecture that puts things where users expect to
find them.
- Content rules. Cut to the chase, more information
less hype. People don't buy things they don't understand. Writing
for the Web is still undervalued, and most sites spend too few resources
refining the information they offer to users.
- Essential files for web site control, includes a customised
robots.txt file and .htaccess file
Get these right, and you'll enhance your site's credibility,
ease a user's way through the site, and thus do far more for the site's
business value than any JavaScript trick.
