What is the single most important thing visitors want from your site?
This question is one of the basic foundations of any website. It is all very well having a good-looking site, even better if it helps you with some admin and marketing. BUT if it doesn’t do what your visitors want then it will never do what you really need it to do.
There are some fundamental answers to this question like – easy navigation, simple to get in touch with you, and no jumping through hoops.
But what else do your visitors want? Is it to find new products, register for a course, join a mailing list, or view the promotion they’ve just seen on social media?
What are the desired outcomes your clients might have in mind?
Here are a few suggestions:
- find new products
- register for a course

List any concerns your clients might have when they are on your website.

- or what happens if something goes wrong?
Finally, make sure your website addresses these 3 things on your homepage.
Then your clients will know they are in the right place and that you are the right person for them.
