Web design – how to avoid the common mistakes 1. Don’t clutter up your site with lots of content. If you are selling something, you are not really that interested in people just reading what you have to say. You just want them to get to your site and make a decision quickly, either to buy or not. Also people won’t spend time reading lots of words; they will quickly become bored and move on anyway. In this case, do as I say, not do as I do. My site is full of useless narrative, and I must get round to cleaning it up. Look at successful landing pages, most of them are one pagers, so copy that format for your own site. 2. Make sure your sales message is visible As explained above, your visitors only have a short attention span, so make sure that they can’t miss your sales page, if it’s not the landing page, or the action you want them to take. 3. Make sure your sales message is understandable. Use short, plain words, so that your visitor knows exactly what you have to offer. You know what you mean, but your reader may misconstrue what you are saying. I have often misread a price as a one-time payment, when in fact it is that amount per month. Of course that may be intentional on the part of the site owner. 4. Keep pumping your strongest benefit Following on from the point above, repeat your main sales message 3 or 4 times, so that the reader cannot miss it. 5. Have lots of breaks in your text Notice how this article is split into lots of paragraphs
with short sentences, with hardly any words with more than three syllables.
People don’t read individual words, they read chunks of words.
If that chunk is too big, their eyes will tend to go to the next paragraph
break, and therefore miss most of what you have to say. If you are
using Microsoft Word to write your sales page, use the Flesch reading
ease indicator on the Tools – Options – Spelling and Grammar
– Show Readability statistics.
If your method of traffic generation suggests that your site is about a certain subject, don’t make your site deal with another subject. For instance, if you write an article about archery (with a link) don’t let that link go to a site about gridiron. 7. Don’t use lots of formats You want your site to have a coherent look, so always use the same font, but change the sizes. Make all your bolded text the same colour (usually red). 8. Use words that are in general use Don’t use jargon or technical phrases. The internet is for the use of the public, who have different levels of education – you must appeal to them all. Don’t make them go scurrying for a dictionary if there is a word that they do not understand. They probably wouldn’t anyway; they would just click away from your site. 9. Make sure your key selling points are not buried in the text The whole point of a sales page is to sell something. Therefore make your benefits stand out from the rest of your text. Use bold fonts, different colours, italics or underlining. Make sure your customer can’t miss them. 10. Use emotive words, not purely factual ones. Limit your factual words to statistics, like how much you’ve
made in the past month or year etc. Use emotive words when describing
the benefits of buying your product or service. Paint your customers
a picture of what their life will be like if they decide to purchase.
Use phrases like “freedom from your day job”, “permanent
holidays” As a final word, keep your site simple, with lots of spaces and colours. Think about what your visitors are expecting when they come to your site, and fulfil that expectation, and you won’t go far wrong. © Peter Phillips One quick and easy way to get your website design is to get one of the instant site generator products - I've used both of these products for my own sites- the quick and easy web site generator and HyperVRE - and found that both, though different in their approach, provide an excellent end result.
