What is the purpose of the site?

There is a famous saying by Chanakya once “ Bahu Gun Hitaye Bahu Gun Sukhyae” The actual meaning of this phrase is that the more the information of your website help your people to solve their problem in life through your business model the more your business will get the positive exposure.

Now let’s see, the technical details you need to follow in order to get your website more appealing towards your target audience.

· Choosing a domain:-

You can produce most revolutionary product but if your website address is jumbled up with symbols and letters then people will not recognize it. So, to stay in the people’s minds for longer duration you need to have a simple and easy website address to enter. Now if the website is for any company or brand then you must put the name of the brand or the company in the website address.


Another important point here is that the age of the domain name if you have an older domain name then you can get the SEO benefit out of it. The main reason behind this is you will get the readymade traffic for your new website. You will get the advantage of using preexisting traffic, better Alexa ranking and back links.

· NAP Signature:-

The contact information of your business must be presented clearly on your website so that the communication process between your clients becomes easier and smoother. The NAP here stands for your Name, Address and Phone number must be clearly stated where ever your website is visible on any platform to prove the authenticity of your business.

This includes websites, directories, social media and other places.

You need to show your visitor that you possess the experience and expertise which can be beneficial to them.

The content of your website must be clear and precise so that it may help your viewers to understand the message of the brand in a clear manner. Over expressive technical jargons may reduce the readability of the website.

· Avoid too many videos and flash music on your website:-

If your website has too many unnecessary videos, flash music, and unwanted data’s then it may decrease the loading speed of your website. You must get rid of the facts if these elements are in auto play mode and can increase the bounce rate of your website to a great extent.


You must avoid using bright colors on your website background, and on the other places of your website. This can disrupt the core message of the website. Professional and simple themes can easily enhance the quality of your website.

From the year of 2014 over a quarter of website browsing is done from the mobiles. So, a responsive mobile website is very important to build the awareness of your brand to a greater extent.

This is something I haven’t managed yet. The connection between the product which is advertised and the website Theme.
I’m not talking about just adding a couple of images of the product, but about the website structure.
I chose the Theme of mine based on how I could display the informations I wanted to offer in the clearest possible way, but I admit, the structure and outlook of the website isn’t in any way related to its content
Could you make a couple of examples?
 
· Show off your expertise:-
This includes adding testimonials, services related blogs, can educate your clients and gives them an impression that your website will help them in fulfilling their requirement.
I think the best way to gain trust in your expertise consists in some form of Comments Section, under the single products for example, or under each News page, where you can interact publicly with your prospects.
A blog is probably the best way to achieve this
 
If you are going to write in English make sure the grammar is correct.
That is my #1 turnoff -- and I don't buy.
For any major commitment B2B type proposal.
Inexpensive one time purchases --maybe. Design templates as an example ...

It's not that people are not intelligent -- it's that they are not paying attention to details and cheaping out on their web copy. "What sort of businessmen are these" is the first thing that comes to my mind. When people are confident in a proposal/product they make sure they get it right ;)
 
· Clear and precise content:
The content of your website must be clear and precise so that it may help your viewers to understand the message of the brand in a clear manner. Over expressive technical jargons may reduce the readability of the website.
Although using technical jargons can be a way to show your expertise and to address prospects who possess already a basic knowledge about the product...
 
If you are going to write in English make sure the grammar is correct.
True
Sometimes we no native English speakers don't assess the right way how trust-losing a bad English is for native English speaking people.
For us, grammar mistakes are not that bad, because, in some way, we recognise ourselves in them, it's our English after all...
 
When dealing with acronyms always state the full text definition.
ABC (About Babylon College) <<< I have adopted this format but the reverse is also commonly used.
After stating the acronym in full, it is understood by all and can be back-referenced by those unfamiliar with the acronym.
 
When dealing with acronyms always state the full text definition.
Agree
It's most annoying finding an unknown acronym to me, so first, I have to guess from the context, what could it mean... that copy&past into google, shift, get the results, it means several things, trying to find out the most probable meaning, realising that none of the listed meaning is suitable, cursing, going back to the article...
 
Information is never used plural in English -- that's a dead giveaway ;)
I am just saying if you want to market a B2B product in English speaking countries; US, GB, CA, NZ, AU; we pay close attention to those things when accessing the proposition -- when real money is involved: like a SaaS or software.

I am very forgiving of software in github that is open source -- I understand that many talented developers are not native English speakers.
