Tip of the Week- 7 Ways to Make Your Homepage Work For You
 
Your homepage is your silent salesperson. In many cases it's the first introduction your visitor has to your online business.

And you know what they say about first impressions? They count.

7 Ways to make your homepage work for you

Make sure:
  1. It's absolutely clear what actions you want your users to take, whether it's signing up for a newsletter, subscribing to a membership,  registering for a downloadable report or webinar, etc.

  2. The navigation template is consistent throughout your website. You don't want a user to click on a link from the homepage and then think they've landed on a different website

  3. The content on your homepage (as well as the interior pages) is scannable. Use headings, subheadings, and bullets. Visitors won't read every word to find out if you have what they want

  4. Your homepage lets your users know what website they've arrived at

  5. Your homepage communicates exactly what it is you have to offer your visitor

  6. The most critical information is "above the fold," (that part of the screen that is visible to your user without having to scroll)

  7. You use plenty of white space so that your homepage is clean looking, not cluttered and not distracting from your main message.
 
Just think of your homepage as your salesperson. What would you want a real live salesperson to do for your business?
