Less is More
On your home page, visitors want to know immediately who you are, what you do, how you help them, and why they should choose you.

Keyword Rich

This means using brand-coordinated colour headings that are bolded with a larger font as well as a different font face to help guide your visitor’s eyes down the page.

Use bullet points (but not too many) and call-out boxes to call attention to key points. Add relevant photos and graphics to draw the eye in and add interest. Also make use of white space.
Calls to Action
Every page should be designed and written with a logical call to action you'd like them to take. Aside from having a link or button at the bottom of each page that directs the reader to their next step, here’s some other suggestions:

Offer a free consultation
Feature a coupon or special offer.

If your website isn’t converting visitors into leads or sales, incorporate these tips to help you leverage your website as a powerful way to connect with prospects. Simple tweaks can make a big different in the results you achieve and with conversion.

And if you do have many of these tips in place but your website is still performing poorlyArticle Submission, then it’s time to talk to a website professional who can do a site analysis and uncover other problems you may not be aware are happening.
