Creating a Website: Quality or Quantity? It's a well known fact that website visitors will decide whether or not they like your website within 15 seconds of opening the page. This doesn't leave you much time to convince them to stay. What will convince them is the layout of your page. Headlines, graphics and a professional style. Does your website make a good first impression? Once they have decided to stay, how easy does your site make it for the customer to find out about your product? Is the content appropriate for your audience? Is your website functioning properly? Are your links working? If you find it hard to check for and fix broken links, a good piece of free software to use is the REL Link Checker Lite, which you can download from http://www.relsoftware.com/. It is also a good idea to find out what your visitors think of your site - what they like, what they don't like. You can work on these areas, increasing your chance of repeat business! A good website is a mix of great design and excellent content. Having both of these factors taken care of will ensure visitors are going to be attracted to your site and will return in the future.
