About Build A Better Business Website

You've seen the sites out there that are such an unattractive, confusing mess that they make surfers dizzy and click away within the first 3 seconds, and you know you don't want to be like them!

Comment by Maria Horn on May 3, 2009 at 9:12am: Hi Greg, Looked at your page as requested, what happened to the 3rd line of your heading, maybe you need smaller font or larger banner. Also balance the Tab entries (on Black) a little more. Other than that I like the background colour, the text is optimized for easy reading. The blue is a little to blue for me but that is my taste, don't let that put you of.

Comment by Greg Bright on May 2, 2009 at 6:11pm: Hi Andrea. I just updated my website designer referral page. I really appreciate all of your comments. Please see the new page at http://www.get-top-ranking-on-search-engines.com/web-designer-reviews.htm - Let me know what you think. Thanks

Actually, you probably have, but I am always listed as MKWeb. I even run my own events at giveawayforyou.com

Comment by Joseph Anderson on February 26, 2009 at 4:11am

Hey Mark Hultgren :-)
I seen your comment concerning how you buy attention using free gifts and reports here and on your blog about building a list in which I agree.
However, I have never seen you in any of the giveaways http://www.freegiftsgiveaway.com
that cater to that exact thing.

Whats up with that?

Do you knwo something that I do not concerning this matter or avenue for list building?

Joe :-)

Comment by Mark Hultgren on February 24, 2009 at 8:53am: Well, I essentially 'BUY' their attention through free gifts and reports. I give my visitors some good reports on topics they are looking for to show them I know what I am talking about. Plus since most of my sites are blogs, they have the opportunity to add their own comments and I even include a form where they can ask me questions on some of the blogs. Start them talking by asking them to post their comments. Even if it is a review of what you are giving them for free.

Comment by Andrea of Internet-Creatives.com on February 24, 2009 at 8:34am: Mark H., I think that's a great summary of the 4 key steps to creating a fantastic customer experience. But what's the best way to get started on step number 1, "building trust and rapport" on your website?

What do potential clients need to see on your home page that will make them stop in their tracks and say "yeah, I feel comfortable with this company. I think I'll check out the rest of their site..."

Thoughts anyone?

Comment by Mark Hultgren on February 24, 2009 at 7:02am: Thank you for the invitation,
I believe that the first part of creating that experience is building trust and rapport with your clients. Service comes in second and then the products and 'after the sale' followup.

Comment by Andrea of Internet-Creatives.com on February 24, 2009 at 2:50am: Welcome, everyone, to the 'Build A Better Business Website' group.

It's a great place to learn how to start creating an online experience that will persuade your clients to do the decent thing and pull out their wallets!
