The Simpler The Better

When designing a website themselves, people often make the error of "more is more", resulting in a crowded, chaotic home page that is just too busy.  When visitors have too many choices and too much to look at, they get overwhelmed and often flee.  It's tempting to want to include everything about your company right there on the home page so nothing is left out and visitors know you can "do it all".  It's better however, to let them discover this by breaking up all that information and putting it on separate pages.  But what if they don't see the information?  How will they know I do everything if I don't list it right there on the first page?!  With clear and easy navigation to your products, services, and "about us" pages, visitors will find all the information they are looking for without it being crammed into your home page.

Blog Posts: Getting it Done

Overwhelmed by the thought of updating a blog on a regular basis? Too busy to have to add another task to your weekly list of work?  Consider the following tips for getting blog posts done:

• Set aside a chunk of time specifically for writing several blog entries.


• Keep them short - you don't have to write a full-length essay here.


• When you have several done and saved, set up your blog to automatically publish one each week and you won't have to think about it for a while.


• Add a reminder to your phone, desktop or tablet when it's time to add more entries so you don't forget.
