Design
Your Home Page
to Motivate Prospective Buyers
to Explore Your Web Site
Generally
you get only one chance to grab your visitors¹ attention. Use these
four easy steps to compel prospective buyers to explore your web site.
Step
1. Headline
Start
your home page with a compelling, benefit-oriented headline, followed
by a subheadline.
Example:
- Enhance Your
Competitive Edge With a Professionally-Designed Web Site! Five
Star Web Design uses design techniques that persuade people to
click on your links, spend more time on your site, and order your
products and services.
Step
2. Description of your Web site
Describe
your Web site's content in one to three sentences. Target your audience.
Tell what you can do for your visitors, what problem you can solve
for them, what solutions you provide, and what your qualifications
are.
Example:
- Five Star
specializes in designing custom Web sites for small- to medium-sized
companies at competitive rates. A graphic designer and business
owner for twenty years, Leva Duell specializes in designing professional,
easy-to-read and navigate, fast-loading Web sites that build trust
and generate sales.
Step
3. Provide Links
- Provide links
that give visitors an overview of your site's content.
- Turn your
links into headlines. Include action words and benefits to invite
and motivate people to go deeper into your site.
- Write several
headlines with different hot buttons to motivate a larger number
of visitors.
- Link to a
testimonial page. Providing testimonials from customers or authorities
in your field is a powerful way to convey the benefits you offer.
- Provide a
link to your sales letter, catalog and order form.
Examples:
Step
4. Capture your visitors' email
- Getting your
visitors' email address and building email lists of your prospects
should be one of the main goals of your Web site.
- Few people
will buy from your Web site on first contact. Generate leads with
your Web site, stay in touch by email, and turn your visitors
into customers. Send regular email to establish trust, provide
additional information and value, offer additional products and
services, get visitors to return to your site, and increase sales.
- Offer something
valuable to get your visitors' email address such as a free special
report, newsletter, evaluation, consultation, discount, or special
offer.
- Keep the
sign-up form brief. Ask for their email address and name. Ask
for their address and telephone number if you're planning to follow
up by mail or phone.
Examples:
- Yes! Send
me your FREE Web marketing ebook!
- Click here
to receive a FREE "online marketing" seminar by email.
- Enter your
email address here and we'll keep you posted about new Web design
and marketing resources.
More
tips to make your home page effective and keep visitors at your site
- Keep your
home page short. Visitors should be able to see the important
information on your home page without scrolling down.
- Make your
home page fast loading. If people have to wait to view your home
page, they will leave and go to another Web site. Avoid large
graphics, flashing animation, audio, and other technical features
on that slow your page down.
- Make it easy
and logical for visitors to get to the information they want.
- Make it easy
to contact you. Provide your phone number, email address and Web
address.
Let's recap
how to motivate your prospects to explore your web site: Target
your ideal prospects, grab their attention with benefit-oriented
headline and links, and tell them what you can do for them. Don't
forget to capture their email address and stay in touch by email
to turn your visitors into customers!

you are not experienced with web design, a professional designer
