The Two Biggest Web Site Mistakes and How to Correct Them

Judy Cullins c. 2003 All Rights Reserved



Mistake One: No reason to buy.



Think about what your visitors want when they visit your

Web site.. They want free information. They want solutions to

their problems. Does your bio or mission statement talk to these

needs and desires? Does your home page have headlines that

urge your readers to click to your sales message? Do the

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 the long bio on your home page. Let go of large graphics.

They take too long to load. Develop benefit driven headlines

for each product or service right on your Web site homepage.

Headlines sell more than the copy beneath them. 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.



Mistake Two: You make it difficult or confusing for your Web

visitor to buy. Look at your Web Home page today. Do you

make links out of your benefit-driven headlines to compel your

visitors to go to your sales message? Does that copywriting sales

letter pull your reader to your "order page?"



Once there, do you make it easy to buy? You need to offer

more than one way to buy that may include a toll-free number

(women prefer this), a merchant account to process credit card

orders, and an order sheet your potential buyer can fax, mail

or call in to you.



It's important to check your links often. If you don't and you

have glitches, your visitor will leave to try another easier to

navigate Web site.



When you resolve these two biggest Web mistakes, you are on

your way to keeping your visitors returning to eventually buy

your products or service.
