Website Marketability

by John Wolforth of Fix Your Website NOW

4/1/13

As of January 2013, there were an estimated 726 million websites on the internet, comprising more than 11.27 billion pages. That’s a lot of reading, shopping, or just surfing. Although these websites and pages exist for different reasons, they all have one objective in mind: marketability.

Marketability is not exclusively defined as selling goods or services; it means providing information, promoting a cause, espousing opinion or sadly, synthesizing conjecture and irrationality into fact. For our purposes, let’s focus on website marketability for goods or services.

Marketability is obtained through three types of criteria: Personality, credibility and accessibility.

1) Personality - Your business should not be taken personally, but it should have personality. This is accomplished by utilizing an accurate style of design as well as specific and relevant content:

• Design. A well designed website should convey what type of business or industry you’re in as soon as the visitor lands on it. Color, fonts, and structure all come into play, as well as types of features included. For example, trades or creative services use many vibrant images with before/after shots; attorneys or financial services are very clean, conservative and unlikely to contain ads.

• The man behind the curtain. Putting a face (or faces) to the name of a business often helps visitors feel more comfortable about you and consider what you offer more seriously. On your About Us/Our Team page, make sure to include headshots with each team member’s profile, as well as some personal details about them (outside interests, hobbies, etc.).

2) Credibility. Your website’s credibility is a powerful thing because it can do two things: a) Change visitors’ attitudes so they think positively about, or feel comfortable interacting with, the website; and b) Change visitors’ behaviors by getting them to complete a transaction, return to the site again, recommend the site to others, etc. Credibility can be achieved with a few simple features:

• Make it easy to contact you. Visible contact information tells a visitor that there’s a real person behind your business - you‘re legitimate and they can do business with you – especially if there’s a phone number combined with a physical address. Remember, although someone is visiting your website, it doesn’t mean that they’re comfortable communicating with you electronically. Many people do their research by looking at websites, but still prefer to pick up the phone and speak to someone when it comes time to make a transaction. If you hide your phone number or other basic contact information, you’re losing business.

• Have accurate content. Be specific and up-to-date with the products or services you offer, and make sure your About Us page clearly defines your and/or your team’s range of expertise. Offering something on your website that you no longer do can not only diminish your legitimacy, but disappoint prospects and send them somewhere else.

• Promote accomplishments. Strategic partnerships, awards, and accreditations should be listed clearly on your site, as well as any charitable organizations or community involvements you’re pursuing. These things enhance the profile of who you are and help strengthen your reputation. Visitors will often see these elements and form a better opinion of you or your business - and in some cases, identify with you.

3) Accessibility - Your site should should be easy to use - and useful. Websites that are difficult to find, have long names or confusing and obtrusive content will not keep visitors coming back, nor attract many new ones.

• URL. Your website address should be easy to remember, as short as possible and should include either your business name or a call to action.

• Optimization. Even if you’re not doing SEO on your site, basic optimization elements should still used. Page titles and descriptions, tagged images, submission to search engines and a presence on Google+ are simple tactics to implement and will help you be found -  provided you do them periodically.

• Precise navigation. Website content should be categorized and easy to find. Combine relevant content into submenus so the user spends less time finding what they want. Create introductions to the most important information and feature them on your homepage, with links to detailed breakdowns.

• No distractions. If you have ads or other promotional material that make your actual important content hard to find or read, it’s another turnoff for visitors. If you’re going to have ads, distance them from your content and don’t make them too big. And NEVER use pop-ups.

Website marketability breeds business profitability. If you consider these points when creating your website, you will be on your way.  

The “No-Time-For-Breakfast, I-Can’t-Find-My-Keys, Where’s My Homework?!” Morning Makeover!

Strategies to Better Manage Your Crazy Mornings

Does the above title describe your typical morning?  If so, you are certainly not alone.  The demands of work, kids, lack of sleep, can all contribute to the challenge of getting out the door without your hair on fire!  As a Life Coach and Professional Organizer I have helped families develop strategies that make this daily occurrence a little less stressful.  The following 7 tips should help you change the way you start you day:

1.     

 It all starts the night before – Do yourself a favor.  Take 15-20 minutes the night before to better position yourself in the morning.  I suggest taking a good look at the next day’s schedule; review for appointments, kids’ activities, work meetings and communicate that information with those who are involved!  If you are working your family schedule with a pretty little 1 inch block calendar – stop!  Get yourself a good weekly planner and write down EVERYTHING!   And do not use separate calendars for work and home – those lines are blurred nowadays.  If you can get the next day’s clothes out (especially helpful for kids who can’t decide!) and prepare lunches – bonus points for you!

2.     

Create you landing and launching pad – this is ONE location in the house, like a mudroom, where you can keep everything you need to get out the door.  Create a space for keys, bags, backpacks, umbrellas, even gear for kids’ afterschool activities.  But remember, this space only works if you actually put those items back there daily!  I like to keep what I call the “To Go” box near my door.  This is where I put items that need to go somewhere else – library books, returns to stores, borrowed items.  That way I can see these things as I’m leaving in case I’m going in that direction.

3.     

Get to bed!  Too many people stay “plugged in” right up until the fall asleep.  This results in overeating in front of the TV, brain stimulation which interferes with a good rest, and getting lost in cyber space as time just slips away.  Trust me reality TV and spending hours surfing the internet will not improve your life.  Look for alternative ways to relax such as reading and meditation.  Now those 2 activities will certainly benefit you!

4.     

Identify what trips you up in the morning – see #3!  Checking email, Facebook, watching the news, kids playing on the computer or using their phones can ALL cause you to run late.  Try eliminating these obstacles.  Require that your kids be dressed, teeth brushed, and packed BEFORE any TV/computer – maybe that goes for you too?

5.     

Clean out your darn closet! – Are you aware that you wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time?  Get the junk out of there by donating or tossing!   A few hours sorting through your closet will make a huge difference in the morning.   Re-organize your closet in a way that makes the most sense to you; sort by occasion (business vs. casual), by color, or by category (tops, bottoms, skirts, etc).

6.     

Avoid doing that “one more thing” – it usually ends up taking longer than you think!

7.     

Manage your expectations - Decide what you want your morning to look like.  Keep in mind though, how high you set the bar.  Come to some agreement about what the MINIMUM requirements are for you to be satisfied then work together to execute a realistic plan.
