How To Create A High Converting Sales Page

Posted on September 17th, 2007 in Web Design, Internet Marketing by fox

Computer technology has changed the way the business was done10 years back. Today through internet you can approach your prospective customer worldwide sitting at your office or even from your home. Today most of selling and buying activities are performed over internet in a virtual environment. Now the obvious pertinent question which comes to your mind is how you convince your customers to buy your products or services! The most effective way of doing this is through an attractive website. But just giving your company’s profile and product description in simple text not only makes your website unattractive but also makes your customers feel low about your company. Hence, use of sales graphics does wonder in turning a dull website to an attractive one. Use of sales graphics increases the traffic to your website and also ranking in the search engine. High ranking ensures that more prospective buyers visit the website and sales graphics ensures that most of the prospective buyers convert to actual buyers. In today’s busy world your customers do not have time to go through your sales page by reading each sentence. Instead they prefer to give a look at the sales graphics and make a buying decision. With the help of professionally created sales graphics the conversion rate goes high resulting in higher sales and higher profit.

Mini-sites graphics are considered one of the most effective marketing tools in a virtual environment. Mini-site is a single page sales letter often used to close the deal. Mini-site takes you to the order form for finally placing the order to your company. Unlike your website which has several pages mini-site has only one page. Thus it is sometimes difficult to make it optimized for search engines within this limited scope. But it is possible with a little bit of HTML coding. In the headline of the mini-site you should include the keyword and the content with high keywords density. Professionally designed mini-site graphics should be placed appropriately to make it look attractive and increase the traffic to your page. A partner site can be created in a different domain with a link to the original which should have content and graphics related to the keywords. All these mini-site graphics make your sales page an user friendly site which the buyers would love to access.

Digital publication is becoming increasing popular in this technology age. Electronic book or e-book is now considered to be the most powerful marketing tool by many companies. E-book graphics are therefore used to make it look attractive and professional. These e-book graphics do not occupy much memory space and can be easily downloaded from the internet to a pen drive or burn a CD so that they can be carried like a conventional book for subsequent offline use. You can make a collection of related documents to create a library of e-book graphics. Attractive e-book graphics help the readers to navigate easily. Unlike physical books or photographs, e-book graphics are dynamic and self explanatory, does not occupy a physical space and does not get torn and wear out over the years.

Newbie Asks “I need help building a website For My Business”

Posted on September 6th, 2007 in Web Design by fox

There are a few things to consider when building a website for a business.

1. Are you selling products? If so you may require a shopping cart to be set up. Nearly all web hosting companies provide one and it can be set up via the admin panel (CPanel) on your hosting account.
2. Are you selling products that will be downloadable? If so you need to ensure that your monthly bandwidth quota will be sufficient to cover visitors browsing your site and downloading products. And you will want to ensure your download links are protected.
3. Design. You can either download free templates or paid templates from the web and edit them yourself using software such as NVU (free) or Dreamweaver (costs). These programs are known as WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get. Which means you don’t have to know HTML. You simply edit almost as if you were creating a word document. As you type and insert pictures and links the software automatically inserts code.

A lot of your website creation depends on your type of business and your budget.

If you’re not comfortable putting it together yourself and you can afford to invest some money, then I recommend outsourcing the work. You can do this through rentacoder.com or getafreelancer.com. You will need to work out what you want done.

Do you want a logo to be designed?
Will you supply a template? (I’d supply one as it will reduce your costs)
So in hiring someone you may want them to use the template you provide and set up your shopping cart, add your products, write descriptions for your products.

Do a Yahoo search for “free CSS templates” CSS is important - it means Cascading Style Sheet and it is a script that accompanies your website to manage the style and layout of your site pages.  A good source of free CSS templates is “freeCSStemplates.org”

Then check out similar jobs on rentacoder or getafreelancer to see what the going rates are. When choosing an outsource check their reviews! Ask for examples of their work and make sure they understand exactly what you want from them. Ensure they have HTML, Web Design, PHP, Perl, and maybe even JavaScript experience.

Good luck with your site.
