How to Critique Your Web Site

Have you been a visitor to your own site? If you are not satisfied with your experience, your browsers will not be either.

Great Web Design from the Best Web Designers

Featured Vendors

What do you want from your Web site? Most likely, you want visitors and you want them to purchase your goods and services.

How are you attracting your visitors? The Web is not Iowa, and you are not Kevin Costner. If you build it, it doesn’t mean they will come.

How will they come? You must optimize your site.

How do you do that? You’re about to receive some suggestions.

Look through the eyes of the visitor

Experience is the best teacher. To be a great seller, you have to be a buyer. Peruse the Web and make a list of things you find both enticing and unappealing about other sites. You are being the browser. Are you so much different from your own browsers?

Survey yourself and others in relation to what the visitor wants. How can you enrich the user’s experience?

Keep it simple

Do not attempt to dress your site with complications such as additions and tools. Keep the user experience as simple as possible. You want them to appreciate you for the present not the box.

Content is precedent

Educate your browsers on the effectiveness of your goods and services, your industry, the benefit of using your site, etc. Content is equally important to construction of the site. If your site is all product and no content, it will suffer. Provide your browsers with resourceful and readable content.

Leave no inch unsearched

Inspect all aspects of your site. The colors of your ads, the size of your font, the organization of shapes, etc. should be well orchestrated. Every inch of your site needs to support your main goal. Create a memorable experience for the browser.

Be a good host

Would you want to use a lot of effort when paying a visit to someone? Good hosts put their visitors at ease and provide them with their needs. Your site needs to simulate the same experience. Using links, navigation menus, and calls to action, make the process of getting to your products and services as easy as possible. Web browsers do not have a lot of patience. If it takes them a lot of clicks to “get to the goods,” they will navigate to another site.
