Secret #1:  Focus

The more focused a website is, the more successful it is likely to be. If you try to be everything to everybody, you end up being nothing to nobody. Instead, offer a specific product, selection, service or proposition, tailored and targeted to a specific identifiable market segment. If you have diverse offerings, promote them using separate domains and individually-focused websites.

Secret #2:  Differentiation

Differentiators are the unique selling propositions that distinguish your offerings from those of the competition. The most compelling differentiator is to be the only or exclusive source for a valuable commodity. Next come superlatives, like Best, Highest, Most Popular or Number One. Then comparatives, like Better, Faster, Higher or Lower. Price-based differentiation is the least compelling, and most difficult to maintain.

Secret #3:  Persuasiveness

Persuasive websites offer valuable propositions with compelling differentiators that convince a visitor to answer their call-to-action, which is typically an invitation to click, call or come by. Persuading qualified traffic to become a prospect, client, customer or convert is the essence of web marketing. Every aspect of your website has an impact on persuasiveness, and the highest conversion rates are attained by effectively matching message and medium to market.

Secret #4:  Professionalism

In cyberspace, your website IS your business, and the impression it makes when visitors first click through can make a small business look Fortune 500 … or a global enterprise look like a spam merchant. The only way to get a professionally-designed website is to hire a web design professional who understands that business websites must not only look good but also rank high and get conversions. If you use some teenager or template to do-it-yourself in a day, the end result will likely do your business more harm than good.

Secret #5:  Compliance

A primary concern of all website owners should be to have a website that promotes their products and services to ALL potential customers. Websites with coding errors or pages that can only be viewed properly on selected browsers will frustrate visitors and limit sales opportunities. Validated W3C standards compliance assures that you are maximizing all potential returns on your investment with a Miami web design firm.

Secret #6:  Links

A link is a selectable connection between one web page and another. Links are what makes the World Wide Web a web! Both the quantity and quality of links, especially incoming links, can have a significant impact on the search engine rankings, traffic and overall success of a website. The best incoming links to have are those served up in the first 20 positions of search engine results. Other link sources include online directories, reciprocal links or link exchange programs, online media publicity, and links from complementary websites.

Secret #7:  Positioning

Having all the attributes above won’t count for much … unless you combine them with Pervasive Positioning™. The bottom line is this:

  • 99% of Internet surfers use search engines to find what they need online.
