Try these eight ideas to add pizzazz to your
website and stand out from your competition.
- Be bold. Dare to be different. Dont do
what everyone else is doing. Stand out.
- Keep it simple. Less is more.
- Use color, but use it wisely.
- Dont overdo the graphics.
- Make it simple to navigate and easy to
move around in. Make it easy to find what youre looking for.
- Answer your readers questions.
Anticipate what they need and want to know. Make the information easy for your reader to
find.
- Write to your ONE ideal reader.
- Skip the blinking lights, flashing
graphics, marquees, animation, and sound files. They take too much time to load, theyre
hard on the eyes and ears, and most users find them annoying.
- Your website reflects your business image.
Its your first impression to a potential client or customer. Just like any other first
impression, it tends to stick, and theres no undoing it after the fact. So make sure
the first impression your site portrays is the impression you want your clients and
customers to have of you and your business.
