By Sameep Shah


You have an amazing product and you know it's the best out there; the best quality, the best price, the best in everything, the only thing missing is an awesome webpage that gets a lot of traffic and attention for you to be successful.

A website can elevate the prestige of a company and allows your clients to increase the level of trust toward your product and service. All of these can be accomplished if you have a good website.

For a webpage to guarantee quality, profitability and traffic should fulfil some basic requirements to be successful on the web.

-User friendly; you have to make sure you have an easy to use and navigate webpage. Everything has to be understandable and simple. Make everything as obvious as possible, make your visitors enjoy the visit and stay. If everything is complicated they will just get bored and leave, no one wants to spend a lot of time trying to decipher how to navigate through a page. Make it easy for them.

- Easy Navigation; if the user gets lost, has trouble understanding what's going on, or is unable to find the information he's looking for in an easy was he will end up leaving the page. Visitors get tired, and there's many other options out there on the whole web that if it's not simple they will just move on to the next page.

-Quality in the design; first it has to look totally professional, with a neat design and logo. The colors have to match your company, if your website's potential visitors are teens and young people try to use hip and trendy colors that get this audience attention. You can have amazing content, the best articles or sell the best product in the market but if your design does not make the user want to stay and look through your page, you won't be able to sell anything.

-Possibility to Interact; when you have a website that gives this option then people get interested, this is totally beneficial for you because it will increase visits and traffic.

-Keep it short and fresh; try to be concise and use relevant information. Don't bore the user with things that are not relevant, use simple words, keep it short and interesting. Update your material, catalogs or whatever you have in your site.

-Relevant texts; the copy has to be clearly composed, the information has to be concise but have to be relevant and explain in few words what you have to say or what you are selling.

-Few clicks; don't condense your page, just a few clicks to make it as quick and easy as possible.

- Avoid bad habits; unnecessary registrations, pop-up windows, obliging to install useless software, links that don't work, content that don't exist, etc. These are the elements that more rejection provoke between users.

-Good links; make sure all the links you have in your webpage work correctly. Avoid pop-up windows and registration forms that are not needed, visitors complain about these things frequently, whenever the user is asked to register without necessity then he will rather abandon the page and look for other options.

-Simplicity; the format and different styles of all the elements centralized in one file, so the user only has to read it once.

You should also remember that is vital you measure your results. No need to measure everything but, you'll be able to know what your visitor wants, what users are looking for, and how you can improve your weak points.

These are the basic characteristics every decent and good website should have. The internet can make you reach people all around the globe, expand your brand or your products to places that other way would be impossible, the internet is an amazing tool if you know how to use it in your favor.
