Continued from page 1
I find this very unprofessional language for a business web site to use , I mean when you see a business web site which uses this language - wazz up instead of what's up , we have 2 instead of we have to ,you can find a lot of examples if you look around and mostly in chat rooms - would you buy something from it?
You should stay around from using this language in any part of your web site and make sure you spell check
text on every page even if you checked it you need to double check or use some spell checker software because after all we are humane and we make mistakes!
7 Design, Colors, and Images.
These three are also important for every business web site . Business web sites should have an easy to use design and all of your products should be easy to find. If
potential customer don't find all of
important information about all of your products then they will just leave
site and visit a competitor's site.
And about
colors you should use them carefully. Business web sites should have a bright colors . Stay away from dark colors not all but like
color black shouldn't be used for any business web site .
Now for
images you should use images that have something to do with your business and products . If you have a lot of images , big ones then you should make small thumbnails and link them to
big ones so they load faster.
8 Free From Broken Links.
Well basically every web site shouldn't have any broken links but it is very important for business web sites to be free from having broken links. I remember one day when I was on a site selling something online and I wanted to order
products it was selling so I clicked on
order link and guess what did I get? A 404 file not found page .
At that time I no longer wanted to buy their products because I said to myself if I need help later how will they help me when their own order links are not working? It was a very important question to me and I needed an answer but I know I had to answer it to my self and said they will not be able to help you
Now I guess you got
point but if you didn't get it then it is because of those broken links you are going to lose sales just like that site which I was trying to buy something from did. For that reason and so many other reasons which I can't gather them together here your business web site shouldn't have any broken links.
If you ever change your file names then make sure you make a custom 404 file not found page designed as a site map so if a visitor visits a removed page from a search engine or a site then he will have that site map as a new guide to
new page.
9 Use Live Support and Ticket Tracking System.
Using live support system and ticket tracking system is very useful for every business web site . Sometimes potential customers want to get quick answers to
questions they might have so by using a live support system then they will be able to talk to a sales representative live. There are some good free ones and low prices ones which you can get and install and use within minutes .
And about
ticketing system , it makes email management a lot easier . You can track every email with a special ticket number and all
answers will be organized as threaded discussion. Most live support systems come with a ticket tracking feature so make sure you get
best one out there for your business web site.
10 SSL(Secure Socket Layer) Certificates.
Even though they can be used for certain parts of
web site but in
same time they can be used throughout
site.If you use some third party scripts and softwares to make payment processing etc then you don't have to use SSL because they are used for sending sensitive information such as banking information, credit card information etc and anything else you find sensitive through
internet . You decide it whether or not you need to use one for your business web site
Conclusion.
That is it, These were ten things every business web site should have and you should consider them whenever you design a business web site Of course any site can have them all but they are very important for business web sites to have. Until next time make sure you use
list :)
