They look atrepparttar 124839 progress bar atrepparttar 124840 bottom of their screen. It reads '20%'. They look at their watch and then click onrepparttar 124841 little 'X' atrepparttar 124842 top right of their screen. Well done - you've just sent away a visitor - for good.

Way No. 2 - 'I am not a number - I am a free man'

Along come some more visitors. They lick their lips in anticipation of viewing your widgets which they are very interested in buying - they have their credit card handy.

They land on your homepage and all is well, at first. "The benefits of choosing Widgets Inc. are as follows..." Your homepage is laden with customer-focused benefits and selling points - excellent. But wait a minute. What's that atrepparttar 124843 bottom ofrepparttar 124844 page? It's not what I think it is, is it? Oh dear, there in black and white is one ofrepparttar 124845 fundamental no-nos in web design that is guaranteed to sendrepparttar 124846 message "This website was built by my dog":

"Welcome - you are visitor number 102"

Regardless ofrepparttar 124847 number (and let's face it 80% are either you or your family!) you will be sending away people in droves. Well done - your site is becoming less busy byrepparttar 124848 day. Let's move on to way number three..

Way No. 3 - "Help me buy from you - please..."

They're lost. You have builtrepparttar 124849 site around what seems a logical approach but your visitors are lost. You've given most prominence to testimonials but they just want to send you an email. They click on three, four and sometimes five pages but can't find your phone number or email address anywhere. But it's okay - of course they have a spare quarter of an hour to hunt through your website (that doesn't have a site map) to find your contact details when they already have another window open with your competitor's website - complete with email address, phone number, fax number, street address, mobile number, map and GPS coordinates..
