What makes a great business website?


A great business website should....

A good website has great content, is regularly updated, intuitive, easy to use, and, ideally, has a good visitor-customer conversion rate. However, many businesses struggle to build and maintain a successful website, because they lack the knowledge required.

Why you need a great website.

Your website should sell to your ideal customer
I've heard that the most profitable swimming pool maintenance company in America is not run by a ruthless, corporate company, but by an unassuming guy who answered every conceivable question that his target customers had about swimming pool maintenance on his website's FAQ page.
It's a great strategy and one that every business should deploy for their website. Web visitors are primarily hunters. They hunt for information, and if you don't give them what they need, they'll go elsewhere.
By putting yourself in your potential customers' shoes and answering every question they could possibly have about your product or service, you put them at ease, build up trust in your brand and set up yourself as the expert in your field. That will help you win customers, and, I believe, is more effective than the blatant BUY! BUY! BUY! tactics deployed on some business websites. Nobody likes the hard sell, so why scare away your potential customers by using such tactics?
Optimize your website for search engines
The greatest website in the world is no good to anyone if it can't be found.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your website so that it comes up in search engine results for certain keywords. The better optimized your website is, the higher up your search engine ranking will be.
Here are some easy – and free – steps you can take to optimize your website so that it shows up in search engine rankings for your targetcustomers.
Navigation and usability matter – keep it simple
Bad navigation and information architecture (the way you structure your content) can cost you in lost sales. So keep it simple and intuitive – it works.
Online is great, but website visitors like humans too
Ultimately, your customers are human, not virtual, so make sure your contact details are clearly visible on every page of your website
