Your homepage is the most important part of your website. This is the place where every one of your users or customers will visit, allowing you to capture their attention in under 10 seconds. With the following tips, you can ensure that your website’s homepage is effective, functional, and informational.
Tip #1- Choose a layout that is clutter-free and easy to navigate, avoiding using too many images and icons, long texts and banners.
Tip #2- Use high quality photos on your landing page, avoiding using too many, or low quality photos, which will give your website an unprofessional appearance.
Tip #3- Implement call to action buttons. Make these buttons tempting to click by ensuring these buttons do not contain more than four words and avoid improper placement of your call to action button, which can cause it be unseen.
Tip #4- Ensure your text is simple and up-to-date and avoid too much text, which will turn off and tune out your users.
Tip #5- Be sure to include your contact information, allowing you to be easily found. Also, avoid making this necessary information hard to find, ensuring your business information is located in the same place on all of your pages.
Tip #6- Consult with a professional to ensure your homepage is not only effective, but easy to navigate. A professional designer can help you to ensure you are attracting your users, as well as creating a customized homepage for your business.
