Does your home page have headlines that urge your readers to click to your sales message? Do headlines offer a real, but outrageous benefits? Or, do you have a nice "Welcome" sign, large colorful graphics, a long paragraph on you, your services and experience? Dump long bio on your home page. Let go of large graphics.

Keep all paragraphs and sentences short. Potential clients and customers don't care much about you. Your Web visitors want their needs satisfied, they want solutions to their challenges, and they want them now—in an easy way.
