How To Make Your Website Awesome

Why do people search the internet? 
Think about it and you will find - they want information. Even if they are looking to buy something, information about the product comes first. So, make your Website content rich with valuable information. Teach me something new and I'll come back for more. Entertain me or make me laugh and I'll come back for more. Stir my emotions, and I'll come back. Give me new ideas and I will come back. In short if you fail to keep your Website new, with fresh content, nobody will come back!
Make your site easy to navigate.
If you are using Website Tonight to design your Website the navigation is already built in. But if not, be sure that your navigation is uniform and easy to follow.
Do NOT use introductions that take time to load.
Flash introductions look cool, but they take time to load. Learn  this fact. In Website design, you have 7 to 10 seconds to grab your visitors attention. Beyond that, people will click off your site. Most introduction movies do little to describe your site, they just look impressive.
 
Avoid slow loading pages
Size any pictures so your page loads quickly. Even though your pictures look small, they can be huge in size. Most photo programs allow you to resize your pictures. If your site is loading slowly it probably is the picture size. You can see the picture size by left clicking on the picture and looking at the properties tab.
 
Animated GIF pictures
Do NOT use a lot of animated GIF pictures. They look good at first, but when you are on the page for any length of time the motion gets annoying. Call it visual pollution!
 
Add A Newsletter - Email Marketing
Email Marketing is the best and cheapest way to get and keep your name in the mind of your customers. You can do this with several marketing techniques like sales flyers, new offerings, announcements and more, but the most popular for business is the newsletter. Newsletters help businesses to brand themselves in the mind of potential clients. They make you an expert in your industry. This is because when you send email with valuable content educating your readers, they will start seeing you as an expert in the industry and will be open to your recommendations. When that happens a trust level is developed with your clients or customers and you can recommend your products and services to them. Find out more on our Email Marketing information page.
