Your navigation bars must be placed consistently at same area on every page of your website. Navigation bars are most commonly placed on left hand side of page or at top of page. If you have numerous different categories on your navigation, it makes sense to place them on left of page. However, if you have only about five to seven options, you can place your navigation bars at top of page.

Use text links for your webpages on your navigation bars instead of graphic links. One factor that search engines like Google use to determine relevance of your webpages is by inclusion of keywords in text links to that page.

It is also crucial that you name your navigation accurately and descriptively. Visitors would instantly know which link to click on to find what they want. If your website is cluttered with many obscure links, visitors would feel lost and leave your site immediately.

When deciding what to include in your navigation bar, first place yourself in your customers’ shoes. Think about what they would be most interested in when they visit your site, and place these links near top of page. Other links, which are secondary in importance for visitor should be placed nearer bottom of page.

You can choose to place a separate testimonials page, or you can select a few of best testimonials and place them on your homepage.

- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). After you have described your benefits in detail, visitors would still have several queries about your products. It is thus useful to create an FAQ page to write down answers to what your customers are most likely to ask. When visitors have questions, they can simply visit your FAQ page, instead of sending you their queries by email. This saves you a lot of trouble for answering individual emails. Remember that most customers are not willing to make purchases when their doubts are still unanswered.

- Contact Us. Having this page boosts your reliability as a business. Remember to include your email address, mailing address and telephone numbers on this page.

- About Us. Describe what your team and your business aims to do.

- Privacy Policy. Customers value their privacy highly on internet. When they submit their personal information like email address or mailing address on your website, fears about privacy may arise.
