Research
tells us that most people who enter a web site will decide within
two minutes whether to stay put and read on, or turn their attention
elsewhere. It also tells us that a site’s ability to generate
customer enquiry is directly linked to how effectively it is able
to capture the imagination and actually stimulate and sustain a
viewer’s interest.
Here, the
quality of the visual and copy content has become all important
in maximising a site’s
‘holding power’ and sheer potency as a sales and brand
building tool.
Gone are
the days, when web users will pore over pages of uninspiring
pictures; blandly written copy riddled with spelling and grammatical
errors; or simplistic bullet points that explain nothing. They’re
not only bored by it, they object to it.
No longer can you expect to captivate
them with a site that stops at being easy-to-access, use and navigate.
These are givens they can now find virtually anywhere.
Put simply,
unless you excite them, they’ll switch you off like a proverbial
light bulb.
Today,
they are ‘turned
on’ by intelligent and compelling communication. Intriguing
and cleverly crafted headlines that invite readership. Aspirational
imagery that supports the story. Selling propositions they haven’t
seen a million times before. Substance that differentiates your
product offering from competitors. And clean,uncluttered page layouts
that don’t have them wondering where to look first.
Embrace this approach to
building your web site and your business will never suffer from
A.D.D. again.
