Steps To Success When Building Your Own Website!

When it comes to building your own website we like to get creative as individuals. Adding a little bit of your own style can cost you big in the internet world so make sure to follow these simple rules when building your site.

1. Keep your navigation easy. Visitors want to be able to see where they can go easily. Use a sitemap or easy to find buttons at the top or on the side of the site. It is the guide for them to get to the intended content that they are looking for and get back to the main menu or home page easily.
2. Keep your fonts consistent. Nothing looks more tacky and unprofessional than to see 5 diffent text fonts on the same page. Your visitor is judgeing you on your site and forming an opinion. Keeping your fonts consistent will keep thier focus on you and your message not your crazy font choices.
3. Photos are a must! We think in pictures, so pictures will drive more action and crediblity to your site. These need to be professional and if you have none then purchase some to place on your site.
4. Incorporate Videos. We love to watch TV. Having video players on your site keeps them on your site longer and they are more likely to fill in forms, purchase products, and ask you questions if they feel a real human is available. Videos rule!
5. Calls to action. On all your pages there should be a call to action of some sort. This can be to look at more information, purchase a product, join your email marketing list, you get the picture. Without a call to action then the visitor is subject to close your site.

This should give you a good foundation to start building your website the correct way. If you need a website for yourself or your business then we recommend the following:
