With more and more people using the internet to find services and products, it has never been so important to get your virtual image correct from the start.
By asking yourself the following questions, you can ensure your website will tick all of the boxes and benefit from greater digital success.
- Who is your target audience?
Knowing who will be using the website is not only important when considering the design and functionality, but also the content and image to be used.
- What are the objectives of your website?
So, why do you need one? Is it to generate sales, support your customers or simply inform them of your company. What is the purpose of having an online presence?
- What does a visitor expect from your website?
By understanding your target market you will be able to answer this question. Without a doubt most visitors expect to be able to find the information they are looking for quickly, but what else do they expect from your website?
- What do you want the visitor to leave with?
Once you understand visitor expectations you can determine what you want them to leave with. Is it to shorten the sales cycle, or reduce support calls. You then need to think about how this is then going to impact upon the functionality of your website (ecommerce, forum, blog or poll for example).
- Why should someone return to your website?
Is there a good reason why someone should bookmark and return to your website? If not what should you be doing to ensure they do return time and time again? There is no point spending money on developing a website if you are not building visitor loyalty and providing content that they want to return too, time and time again.
