\"7<\/div>

No matter what business you\u2019re in,\u00a0when creating a business website<\/strong>\u00a0there are 7 tips your start-up website needs to follow.<\/p>\n

\u00a01.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Skim-ability<\/b><\/h3>\n

Absorbing useful information usually requires some reading. Unfortunately\u00a0customers<\/a> who\u00a0want<\/i>\u00a0to buy from you<\/strong>, may not want to read lengthy pages of text.\u00a0Having a website that has skim-ability lets customers receive what\u00a0you\u2019re offering quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your website has a lot of text a good way to\u00a0break up information is by adding images<\/strong>\u00a0and creating paragraphs and enlarging headers.<\/p>\n

\u00a02.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Good User-Ability\/Navigation<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

Your website needs to be idiot proof. When the customer wants to find something it should take no longer than\u00a05 seconds to find.<\/strong>\u00a0If it takes a customer a long time\u00a0finding a simple button they will become frustrated<\/strong>\u00a0and click towards your competitors.<\/p>\n

Use drop-down\u00a0 menus in your navigation bar to ensure easy use.\u00a0Add bold and highlighted text<\/strong>\u00a0to help important pages stand out.<\/p>\n

\u00a03.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Good Design<\/a> (colors, layout, images)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Design and Layout<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Your website can offer the\u00a0best deals and serve all your customer\u2019s needs<\/strong>, but if your website looks like a child designed it, your customers won\u2019t stay there long. Poor customer experience on a website tells customers you are unprofessional and don\u2019t take their business seriously.<\/p>\n

Always use a professional<\/strong>, qualified web designers.<\/p>\n

Colors<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Different niches use\u00a0certain colors<\/strong>. For example console game websites normally use black and darker colors. Anything to do with natural products\u00a0typically use green.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

Look at other websites within your niche to get an idea. When you are\u00a0choosing colors for your website\u00a0<\/strong>treat it although you\u2019re decorating a house.\u00a0You wouldn\u2019t use more than three<\/strong>\u00a0colors in a room. One main color and 1 or 2 accent colors.<\/p>\n

Images<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Pictures engage immediately with customers and create emotion.\u00a0Don\u2019t pick boring, predictable images. Images should create a\u00a0positive emotion of either inspiration<\/strong>, laughter, happiness or security.<\/p>\n

Decide which\u00a0emotion you\u2019re going to<\/strong>\u00a0target and use an\u00a0image related to your niche<\/strong>\u00a0and your chosen emotion.<\/p>\n

\u00a04.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Essential Pages<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

Every small\u00a0business website needs<\/strong>\u00a0the \u2018essential pages\u2019 which include\u2026<\/p>\n

About Page<\/strong>\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0A clear\u00a0description about yourself<\/strong>\u00a0and your business.<\/p>\n

Contact Details Page<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Easy to find contact details for\u00a0customers to contact you<\/strong>. Use more than one method so the customer\u00a0isn\u2019t forced to use only<\/strong>\u00a0one.<\/p>\n
