Update your Website regularly:

A failing with many web sites is that they are not kept up to date. You should edit your site frequently to add or remove information, products or pictures. Tell the world about a new special deal on a product. Visitors are more likely to keep on coming back if they see something new every time! Here are some changes you should do:

  • Change the designs or the colours but you must ensure that you retain your identity brand.
  • Update your products and prices
  • Scrolling text. Use moving messages catch the attention of the visitor and use it to announce news.
  • Audio message - include an audio message to announce news.
  • News - ensure that you keep your news up to date. Provide interesting news to your Visitors.


Make your Website interesting to your Visitors:

Your primary objective with your website is to attract and retain visitors, both new prospective customers and existing customers. You want to convert the prospects into actual customers and you need to retain existing customers. You can become a reference point or 'portal' to extend the length of time that visitors are on your site so that you can also gain revenues by selling advertising or sponsorship on your site. Interesting features for your website include:

Relevant articles - If you are a lawyer specialising in Employment law then have some articles on some of the regulations, health & safety requirements, etc. Become known as a reference site on those specialist topics. Not only will it attract and retain visitors but it will also show you to be an industry expert.

Forums or newsgroups - Initiate some forums or newsgroups so that your customers and prospects can communicate amongst themselves. Many companies use forums for support and it is very often the case that members answer each others' queries.

Industry news - Include some relevant industry news.

Links to other sites - provide links to other sites that are of interest, in the case of the lawyer they would like to relevant government sites, Health and Safety information, etc.

Prize Draws and Competitions - you could run a competition and have a form on your website for the entries to be emailed to you.
