Long gone are the times when websites were just an online version of your business card, and (or) brochure. Or when one should wait for several minutes for website to load its flash animation \u2013 believe us, those days are long gone: no one will wait more than several seconds (if so) for your site to load. Except if you have an online video game on it. Do you? We thought so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, what does your website need? Here\u2019s a list of five website must-haves:<\/p>\n
Your visitors would probably (hopefully) come from search engines or social media channels, so it\u2019s not likely that the homepage would be the very first page they\u2019ll see. That said, it\u2019s understandable why you shouldn\u2019t focus only on homepage, but on the \u201clook and feel\u201d for every different page style you have (homepage, category page, product page, blog archives and single page, and so on).<\/p>\n
Our themes are designed to meet the criteria for user-friendly web design. You can (and should) customize any theme as much as you like, just be sure to keep it easily readable.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t assume that visitors will spend their valuable time trying to figure out where to go next. Make sure that the navigation menus are self-understandable: use common words and phrases.<\/p>\n
Many of our themes support two or three menus, and some are made with only one. We did our best to make navigation clear and organized. Play with menu items, test different word and phrases, and change the item order. Keep one that fits user\u2019s needs best.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t be shy, your customers need to know who you are and what are you doing. Having \u201cAbout us\u201d page is as important as telling your name when meeting someone for the first time. Do you have troubles remembering all those names when you are at the office party or business meeting? So do your visitors \u2013 make \u201cAbout us\u201d remarkable and worth visiting.<\/p>\n
A contact page should allow your visitors to easily make contact with you, via email and telephone. We made that easier for you: every theme on Themes Kingdom has a built-in Contact page, you just need to fill it down with your data.<\/p>\n
Whether you are selling something or informing public about some good cause, you want visitors to do something after they have visited your website. Ask visitors to contact you and learn more about your products. Ask them to join your newsletter mailing list. Call them to do what you want them to do, and be precise about it.<\/p>\n
You will definitely market your business through social media, so be sure to market your social media trough your business page, too.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t matter how well your website is designed, or how clear is the navigation, if visitors don\u2019t have what to do (what to read and to share it on social networks afterward) on your website, they\u2019ll leave, and probably would never come back again.<\/p>\n
