Ten Tips For A Great Website

Most businesses have websites these days, but not all of them have great websites which meet the needs of both the business and its customers. Below are a list of 10 simple points to improve your business website.

  1. Update your website's content - prices which are 3 years out of date aren't much use to anyone, and could be misleading.
  2. Make sure your company's logo is visible on every page, preferably in the same place on every page.
  3. Make sure you give a hint as to what your business does on every page!
  4. Avoid using (too much) Flash, especially for navigation.
  5. Give your web pages useful titles - for example, 'Contact Murtek IT' rather than just 'Contact'.
  6. Don't play music at your visitors, especially if there's no way to turn it off.
  7. Ensure that at least some of website's content is visible without the need for you to scroll.
  8. Avoid using advertisement programmes such as Google Adwords on your business website - if you're selling widgets, you don't want your visitors to buy widgets from someone else advertising on your website!
  9. Check the contrast - this helps to make sure your content is easily read by visitors - avoid green text on a red background, for example.
  10. Don't try and say too much on one page: it's a website, not a webpage!

Why Use You, Though?

There are many websites which offer you the chance to create and manage a website yourself, but these do not offer a bespoke design tailored to your business and your customers. Not only is it reasonably easy to tell your business has , but it can reflect badly on your business - if you're willing to cut corners with your business' website, are you going to be willing to cut corners and quality with your products or services?
