Ultimately, users visit your website for its content. Everything else is just the backdrop.
Website Design & SEO is All About the Benjamins
“We have a website, but we don’t get leads from it.” This is a common complaint we hear from businesses. If you’re experiencing the same issue, it means your website is not functioning. You either need a new website or a web design makeover. Your online presence is all about the Benjamins. If your website can’t convert visitors into paying customers, it’s simply a waste of space. You would be better served by a single-page website with the contact information of a top performing salesperson.
Your website should be like a Venus Flytrap or a Pitcher Plant, attracting prospects with digital pheromones and trapping them. Right behind partnership networks and in-person conferences, your website is the most important tool for attracting and converting leads that are either marketing-qualified or sales-qualified. The ROI on website design is directly related to the number of leads it generates for your business.

Persuasive Website Design: Getting Agreement
Most websites talk about how great their solutions are or how expert their staff is—right on the home page. This is not convincing content. To get agreement with your prospects, you start with a premise, then build an argument with illustrations, social proofing testimonials, and finally a conclusion (call to action).
The key to effective pages is following this outline:
- Introduction: Grab the reader’s attention by highlighting a problem or need that the product or service can solve.
- Value proposition: Present the main benefit or unique selling point of the product or service in a clear and compelling way.
- Features and benefits: Provide evidence to support your value proposition, outlining the specific features and benefits of your product or service.
- Objections and rebuttals: Address any common objections or concerns that customers may have and provide persuasive counterarguments.
- Testimonials: Include customer testimonials, reviews, or social proof to show that others have had a positive experience with your product or service.
- Call to action: Close your piece with a strong call to action that encourages the reader to take action.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Getting Found

SEO optimization includes:

- Optimizing page loading speed
- Adding appropriate schema markup, alt tags, and other metadata
- Creating a mobile-friendly design
- Generating compelling content
- Designing internal links and other cross-links between pages
- Using a secure HTTPS connection
