clients enjoy going to websites because they go there on
their own terms and they can browse it at their leisure
without feeling as if they have someone looking over their
shoulder.
Here are some ways to make your website user friendly, and
one of your biggest lead generators.
1. Keep it simple
Make sure that the website is easy to navigate and people
can find what they are looking for quickly and easily.
2. Don't blind your customers
Don't use a lot of flashing lights or color schemes that
can be painful to view, or else you may find that your
customers close the window before they have a chance to see
what you have to offer.
3. Offer advice or tips
It's always a good idea to offer visitors something free,
like tips or advice. Make sure that the advice and tips are
pertinent to your business.
4. Encourage feedback
Have a guest book or a forum that people can go to and leave
feedback with suggestions or comments about your website.
Even if they aren't things that you want to hear, any
feedback is valuable.
Follow up on the feedback and thank them for taking the
time to leave it.
All of the above tips put the customer first and show that
you care about what they think. When visitors know that you
are putting them first, they are more likely to become a
customer and encourage others to do the same.
Please leave your comment, everyone learns from them.

Thank you Giovanna,
That can be the point that will make or break you, if the client does not stay on your website because it is not user friendly. If things do not work or it is hard to navigate the site they are not going to be there to buy the products that you have as well.

Hello Peter,
You might get comments from both sides of the coin. Another blog that we looked at had comments that told the host that he should ware a suit and tie to look more like a business person and others said NO YOU SHOULD NOT WARE A SUIT AND TIE. Sometimes you can get it from both sides. You will have to choose.
