Every business requires a website and that website has to be designed to make sure that it does what it is supposed to do. There is no reason to build a site if it does not meet its goals. With a well designed website, you have a good chance of attracting the visitors that you are looking for and to get them to do what you want them to do.
The first place to start when you are designing any website is decide on just why you are building that site. Everything else that you do will follow from here. This requires more than a standard answer like you want to increase your sales with your website, you have to know how you plan to do that. Once you know what your foals are, you will be able to design a site that will achieve what you want it to.
Keep in mind when designing your website that in many cases your goals will having competing agendas. For example, you may want to use your website to provide information about your company. However, simultaneously you may also want to make sales directly from your site. This can be a little tricky to do since when you are trying to provide information you want people to stick around and read about your site. However when you are selling online you generally want to steer users to the product they are looking for as fast as possible.
Something else to consider is that your goals and the users goals are the same. If people who are visiting your website are going to it looking for information, you need to make sure that you are providing the information they require. If the visitor gets there and finds a sales page rather than an information page, they are just going to leave and go to another website.
If you find that you are getting visitors who are looking for something that is different from what your site is offering then you have an issue. After all, if the goal of the website is to sell a product, then you really don’t want visitors who are just looking for information, you want visitors who are looking to buy.
The way you design and market your website will have a large impact on who visits your site and how they interact with it. Be sure you get your goals right from the beginning so that your web developers and online marketers work together to achieve your desired outcomes.
