What we do and what we recommend to our clients:
- Keep your web site simple. Don't cram it full of clutter. Easy navigation is a must.
- Don't use a Flash introduction. (Many web designers LOVE this, but most people click off as soon as they see it loading.)
The object is to get people to SEE your web site, not drive them away!
- Don't put music or sound files on your site! It startles people when they are surfing and they suddenly hear music blaring out! Their immediate reaction is to back track immediately.
Music or sound files take forever to load. It often crashes their browser.
And if they don't share your taste in music, you're screwed!
There's a reason for SILENCE IS GOLDEN! Never, ever, ever play music on someone's machine unless they say they want to hear it (by clicking on a link, for example.)
- Don't put a lot of slow-loading graphics on your page. No matter how pretty the graphics are, people aren't going to stick around and wait for them to load. If you have heavy images (on a free website site like Geocities) the reviewer will DIE OF OLD AGE before he sees your page!
- Do make sure visitors to your site can tell at a glance WHAT YOUR SITE IS ALL ABOUT!
For example, if you sell gift baskets or make wedding photos, make sure that's evident right up front.
Most people will leave in the first two seconds if they don't think your site offers them what they are looking for. They aren't going to take the time to scroll around to see if you have what they need.
So make it immediately clear to them what your site is about.
- Don't use Pop-Ups on your web site! Visitors find these really annoying. The less you annoy a visitor, the more likely he or she is TO STAY.
