The opening move for a business to make a great first impression online is through a powerfully designed website. So, whether you are a business owner who is just getting started on your official website, or you are currently updating your site and would like a refresher on general best practices, here are five tips for you to keep in mind:
1 Make your copy prospect-oriented and benefit-driven
When prospects visit your site, they want to know one thing: how your solution or product adds value to their personal lives or their line of work. That said, an objective listing of basic features, however well-written, might not do the trick. Features are only material facts about your product; they are not prospect-oriented information.
Relaying the business or individual benefits along with product features transforms your copy into meaningful inputs for prospects. Say you are creating a website for an event management software. One of the product features is that there are 100+ built-in event layout templates. An event manager visiting the site will be intrigued by the feature when your copy also informs him or her that the digital templates expedite floor plan decisions by cutting back 40% of time spent on manual layout designing, not to mention quicker collaboration through contextual email integrations. It’s always the value outcomes that catch the prospect’s eye.
2 Offer social proof wherever you can
