When it comes to effective web design it is important to research websites that have similar content as your website does. It is usually the websites that are at the top of the search engines that you should be looking at as your best examples.
Launching Your Business Online
When you are launching your business online do not forget about the basics of business planning. All of what you have learned in Business 101 applies to your online business.
So it is in your best interest to plan your business effectively before investing thousands of dollars launching a website.
Make Your Website Photos Attractive
When designing your website make sure the photos of the people using your product or services and the product itself is attractive. This is when that artistry of the business comes in. If you or someone you hire is a graphic artist, please design some banners and logos that are simple, catchy and new.
Create An Attractive Or Catchy Slogan
When posting your products in ads and directories use popular and catchy slogans that will attract people to view your ad. It is nothing like having the most popular slogan or quote headlining your product because it conjures a certain familiarity. You should always research the slogans that you are adding to your ad through Google and Yahoo before posting your ad so that enough top sites are using a similar quote as you are.
Colors Are Very Important In Web Design
Your website colors should be inviting and should fit the mode of the product or service. For instance if you offer massage therapy services on your site you should pick colors that are light soft and calm because your services are about relaxation.
Be Careful Of Putting Too Much Information
While it is important to give your customers a clear explanation on your product or service, it can work against you to add too much detail. When someone is buying a product or service they are looking for the pricing, what deal are they getting, and brief description of your product. If they would like to know more about the product or service, you can have a link to more info or have them contact you for further detail depending on what your product or service is.
Basic Marketing Strategies
Though it is the year 2009 nothing has really changed in the last 50 years in marketing strategy. It’s the technological tools in which to market that have changed. Everyone agrees that the more people that see ads about your product the more likely people will check your product out, and hopefully it is good enough that people will buy it. The same applies to you internet business.
The key question is where do you post your ads and how often and how much does it cost? Well that answer is quite simple but please put in hard work. Make sure your product is unique within its industry, and that enough people are generally interested in buying your product or services. Then design and place ads of your product or service in listings that are relative to your product or service. Find the most popular listings like, Yahoo, Google, and MSN, to place your website in. Finally, use directories such as www.dmoz.org that will list your site and slogan/ description according to relevant categories.
