Depending on what studies you read online viewers either spend 4 seconds or 10 seconds on your home page. If they find something that grabs their attention they will stay longer.... But that is the time you can average on grabbing and keeping them.
So you not only have to gain their attention, but you have to gain their trust, convey who you are, what you do and what makes you better than the competition. All in a matter of 10 seconds, (preferably less)...
This might sound like a really daunting task. How do you grab their attention and keep all in a matter of seconds?
Well the answer is simple...
1. Have a strong central message. You need to be able to give your users a summary of what you are about, what you an offer them and why you are the best choice. Take sometime and write down a summary that best describes your business in the amount of time it would take you to explain it to someone on a elevator ride... We are talking 4 floors at most not the penthouse suite at the Smith's Tower... Think of what you would say to someone in the least amount of time.
2. Stop the over crowding of your homepage. Your homepage is the gateway yo the rest of your site. This is not the place where you place all the content you can possibly squeeze in. This is the starting point. A clean window that invites the user in for more... And this brings me to...
3. Avoid clutter at all cost!!! Aim to only give across one central message. Yes you can change this message ever so often. But aim to keep it at one thing and steer clear of any secondary messages that might distract your user. So if your aim this month is to shine a spotlight on your latest amazing deal then make that the single focus and nothing else.
4. And finally: Use a clear call to action. What this means is that you give a clear action plan for consumers to take the next step in buying or applying or subscribing. Say you want them to take advantage of your great product offer this month then give them the next step like "click here and apply" or "Add to cart".
These are just some of the tips you can use on your site. Check in tomorrow when I will be sharing some of the Do's and Don'ts of building a website in a 2 part posting.
