Top 5 Ways to Boost Conversions with an Effective Hero Image on Your Homepage

Site visitors form an opinion about your website in as little as 50 milliseconds. That’s literally faster than the blink of an eye. What’s more, in one study of website credibility, 94% of the reasons web users gave for mistrusting a website were related to design. It’s clear first impressions are critical, and with so little time to make yours count, it’s crucial you get your website design right. When the success of your business depends on how efficiently you engage new visitors and nurture them into clients, your homepage design needs to be 100% optimized for conversion. The first thing site visitors see when they land on your homepage is the large rectangular area in the top half to two-thirds of their screens. Not only is it the first thing they see, it’s where users focus roughly 80% of their attention. This area represents your make-or-break opportunity to either captivate your visitor’s attention in an instant, or let them wander off elsewhere on the Web.

Top 5 Ways to Create an Effective Website Design

Steve Jobs famously said “Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works.” That's true of the hardware products Jobs brought to market over the course of his remarkable career, and it's true for your website. More than any other factor, the success of your website comes down to usability and utility, not simply visual design. Nothing happens on your site until a visitor takes some kind of action. You could create the most visually stunning and attractive home page in the world. But if users don't click through to the next article, request a white paper or consultation, sign up for a newsletter, or in some way engage with your brand and ultimately identify themselves to you, your business won't grow by a single new customer.

Top 5 Reasons Why:
Working from home can be such a challenge

Social distancing is one way experts are recommending to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This is essentially a conscious, methodical effort to reduce close contact between individuals and groups of people.

A home office is often a dream scenario for many individuals who lose countless hours sitting in traffic during their commute or have less than optimal work environment. However, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. A remote work environment is not always an optimal situation for everyone’s productivity.

Top 5 Reasons Why:
Search engine optimization is like a game of chess

Search engine optimization can be described in many ways. One of the most apt analogies for SEO, especially moving into 2020, is comparing it to a game of chess. According to the US Chess Federation, about 8.6% of the world’s population or roughly 700 million people play chess and 81% of people associate chess with strategic thinking. Despite the many who play, the majority of these players will never reach even 1000 rating level which is considered to be a beginner’s strength. Unfortunately, the same is true for companies practicing search engine optimization. While many “play the seo game”, very few organizations actually reach even a moderate level of mastery.

Top 5 Reasons Why:
WordPress is the right platform for your website

Owning a small business often presents many financial and organizational challenges. One of the most difficult challenges is making sure you have the correct tools in place for making strategic decisions which propel the business forward rather than holding it back or making it stagnant. Your website is one of these tools. Today, your website should be far more than an online brochure; it should be an engaging, dynamic online representation of your business. In the modern business climate, people most often use the Internet as their primary means for collecting information. They will not only use it to learn about who you are and what you do, but also to better understand your company and review its reputation. Your website is often the most critical component of making a first impression about you and your company and it should clearly demonstrate that you are the best company to engage.
