Generally you get only one chance to grab your visitors' attention. Use these four easy steps to compel prospective buyers to explore your web site.
Step 1. Headline
Start your home page with a compelling, benefit-oriented headline, followed by a subheadline.
Example: Enhance your competitive edge with a professional web site! Five Star Web Design uses design techniques that persuade visitors to click on your links, spend more time on your site, and order your products and services.
Step 2. Description of your web site
Target your audience by describing your site's content in one to three sentences. Tell what you can do for your visitors, what problem you can solve for them, what solutions you provide, and what your qualifications are.
Example: Web Design Built on Proven Marketing Strategies! Five Star Web Design and Marketing specializes in developing custom web sites for small-and medium-sized companies at competitive rates.
Step 3. Provide links
- Provide links that give visitors an overview of your site's content. - Turn your links into headlines. Include action words and benefits to invite and motivate people to go deeper into your site. - Write several headlines with different hot buttons to motivate a larger number of visitors. - Link to a testimonial page. Providing testimonials from customers or authorities in your field is a powerful way to convey the benefits you offer. - Provide a link to your sales letter, catalog, and order form.
Example: - Multiply sales, subscriptions, and traffic with action words. http://www.FiveStarWebDesign.com/action.htm
Step 4. Capture your visitors' email
- Get your visitors' email address and build email lists of your prospects. - Few people will buy from your web site on first contact. Generate leads with your web site, stay in touch by email, and turn your visitors into customers. Send regular email to establish trust; provide additional information and value; offer additional products and services; and get visitors to return to your site. Over time, they will develop confidence in you and buy from you. - Offer something valuable to get your visitors' email address such as a free special report, newsletter, evaluation, consultation, discount, or special offer.
