How To Make Your Website More Appealing

How are you from the last time you read my blog?

The quality of your website and the success of your digital business are closely intertwined. If your website falls short in terms of standards and expectations, then there’ll be little surprise if your business struggles to find success.

Think of your website as you would a brick and mortar store; you can always tell so many about the company by the aesthetics and quality of the shop. When it comes to your online business, the idea is to make your website as appealing as possible. But how can you make sure this is the case? We take a look at a few tried and tested methods below.

Memorable Web Address

People will always remember a web address that stands out from the crowd. Sometimes, this is the difference between a sale and a lost customer. They might visit your online store once, and then hope to return, but if they don’t recall what your web address or even the name of your business is, then there’ll be no way to get back. It’s not like a real world business, where all you need is to vaguely recall which area it’s in. The online world is pretty big, after all.

Easily Found

Of course, while a section of your website visitors will get there by typing the web address, the bulk will likely come via one of the search engines. As such, it’s important that you’re taking the time to get your SEO into shape .

This does more than just push people in the direction of your site; it also makes your site more appealing, since it shows that you’re a reputable site. No one gets to the front of the Google search engine rankings if they’re not legitimate.

Have a Focus

There are plenty of ways to make your website more appealing, but one of the best ways is to limit the scope of your content. This might sound counterintuitive to your goals, but hear us out. Rather than trying to suck up all the web visitors (which will never happen), you’ll instead make your site a must-visit for people with an interest in whatever topic it is that you’re focused on.

It’s much better to do one subject very well, rather than do many things kind of well. There are too many websites out there that take that approach; get specialist, and you’ll be on the right track.

Great Design

People are prone to making snap judgements about, well, everything. They just can’t help it. So if you’re trying to make your site as appealing as possible, then it’s important that you’re ensuring people’s snap judgement is positive.

This is all down to your design. The better it is, the more people will enjoy and interact with your site. Because this aspect of your site is so important, it’s recommended that you work with a web design company. They’ll give you a sleek and modern look. Also, you’ll want to make a habit of periodically updating the look of your site. You can’t rest on the strength of your current design forever.

The User Experience

It’s all good well having a focus and strong design, but there’s one aspect of your website that’ll have a huge impact on how appealing is it: the user experience. While you’ll be trying to put your own creative stamp on things, it’s always worth keeping in mind that, ultimately, your website exists for the benefit of the people that visit the site, not you.

To improve the user experience, you’ll need to work with outsiders who can help you to figure out the best layout and accessibility for your site. You can do this by using the tree testing method, which will help you to improve your site’s navigation. The more logical and intuitive a site is, the more time a visitor is likely to spend on it.

Useful Content

There’s no shortage of websites for internet users to choose from. They’re everywhere! And as such, you need to ensure that what you’re throwing out into the digital space is actually worthy of your visitor’s time. While you’ll always be able to capture visitors at least once, your ability to win repeat visitors will depend on the quality of your site.

So you’ll always want to work to put together useful, high-quality content — and publish it in a variety of mediums, too. Some people like blogs, some like infographics, and just about everyone likes videos these days, so make the most of all of them.

Lack of Annoying Features

Sometimes, it’s about what you do. At others, it’s about what you don’t do. If you’re filling your website with annoying features, then you will not be making your website appealing. Indeed, you could get everything else right, but if you’re testing the patience of your visitors, you’ll find that you lose more than you win.

So what are some examples of annoying features? Things like too many pop up ads, autoplay videos with sound, and dark patterns . There’s a reason why some websites include these things, and it’s true that there are some advantages. But in all, they have a negative impact on a website’s success.

Error-Free Pages

Sometimes, a website can look like it gets the majority of things right, but it turns out that it’s all surface level. This can seriously dampen the enthusiasm a person may have had for a site. If your website has too many spelling errors , dead pages, or low-quality images, then the shine will soon wear off. Make sure you’re holding your site to a high standard.

Solid Hosting

Finally, you’ll want to take a look at your website hosting. Your site needs to be online in order to win the plaudits of your visitors, but equally, it has to be speedy . There are few things more annoying (online at least) than a slow website — it just drives people away. With the right hosting provider, your site will be online and fast loading, which is what people want

How To Save Money On Recruitment Costs

10 / 29 / 19 10 / 30 / 19

How are you from the last time you read my blog?

If you are new, welcome to my blog!

◊This is a contributor post.◊

The cost of recruitment can be very high, and that can come as a surprise to many new business owners. For some reason, people tend to forget about this and assume it is going to be one of the cheaper expenses, and actually, it couldn’t be any further from the truth. Ignoring the salary, you have to fork out for the cost of advertising and training.

There are always going to appear to be costs that trump recruitment, but actually, getting hold of the right people for your team is always going to be one of the most important things that you can do for your business.

A start-up business will probably not have the budget to do things the same way that a company operating on a global scale does, so it has to think much more carefully about their recruitment strategies. If you want to cut the costs of hiring new employees without cutting the quality of the outcome, then read on!

Use social media to your advantage .

Social media is vital for start-up businesses for many reasons, one of these being that social media is an excellent – and free – platform for advertising jobs.

If you are just starting, you will have to work hard to reach people as you may not have the same sort of follower numbers as a more established business, but with a bit of careful planning and some excellent networking skills, you can connect with other people in your field to spread the message that you are looking for staff.

Work with the right job listing site

There are plenty of job listing sites out there, and as always, some are better than others. It is important to make sure that you find one that deals with the industry you are in and maks sure that you are aware of all the fees and conditions you have to work with.

DSC Personnel is a labor-hire and recruitment specialist who can help you find the right person for the job.

Look into video interviews .

Interviewing potential candidates takes up much time, which obviously costs a lot of money! Face to face interviews are the most popular for obvious reasons – it allows employees to see the candidate and get a sense of their body language.

However, there is no reason why you can’t do video interviews – it means that they can be done at any time, anywhere. Skype and Webcams are so popular these days that it makes sense to utilize them.

Take your time and avoid bad hires

The most egregious way in which recruitment costs too much is when you make a bad hire. If you’re not hiring the best person you can get, then it’s difficult to justify any recruitment costs.

However, a fantastic employee can be worth whatever costs you had to deal with. So, take your time, and you’ll be less likely to have rush into choosing someone who isn’t quite right. An extra week or so might see a fantastic candidate turn up

Always Be There For Your Customer

10 / 23 / 19

How are you from the last time you read my blog?

If you are new, welcome to my blog!

◊This is a contributor post.◊

If you want to keep your customer happy, then one of the major things that you are going to need to make sure of is that you are always there for them. There are many other things which you might also want to think about, but this is likely to be at the top, and as such you should make a point not to overlook it if you possibly can help it.

There are many ways in which you might be able to be there for your customer , but it can be tricky to work this out if you don’t already really know what you are doing here. So it might be a good idea to first think about what it means, so that you can then make a point of doing it. In this post, we will look at just a few important ways to always be there for your customer.

Don’t forget to check the sidebar and footer of this website for awesome resources!

To start with the absolute basics, you should make sure that you never leave your customer hanging when they call you. If you do that, then you will find this is just about the quickest way to get them to be upset with the business in general. Similarly, if you answer but only after some time, then you might feel that it is enough, but usually your customer is not going to appreciate that much either.

If you are struggling to make this work, you might want to think about using some professional virtual services to help you with answering the phone whenever it happens to ring. That will really make an enormous difference to how much your customer feels that you are there for them, so it is worth your while to do this.

Respond To Feedback

You should be seeking feedback from your customer , and you should also make sure that you actively listen to it when you receive it. But much more than that, your customer will want to know that you are actually taking it on board, and that is how you can really prove that you care about what they think.

That doesn’t mean that you have to do whatever they might say at any time, but it does mean you should be able to show what you did with what they said, and often that will mean acting on it in some kind of proactive way. If you can do that, you will find that you are going to have customers who feel much more listened to and respected.

Finally, if you can show that you genuinely care , you will find that your customers are going to have a much better and easier time of trusting you, and they will know that you are genuinely there for them along the way. A lot of this comes down to making sure that you consider them to be the humans that they are, and that you treat them as such, which is something that you can always work on. Do that, and many good things will follow.
