Two Keys to Happy Website Visitors

Posted on December 25, 2016 by DeAnnaDecember 25, 2016


As a website owner you want to make sure your visitors are happy. Happy visitors stay on your website longer. They come back for repeat visits. And of course they buy from your website. When it comes to a website’s structure, there are two elements that can make or break your user experience.

Quick load times

There’s nothing that squashes a visitor’s happiness faster than not being able to load a website page. If the page doesn’t come up quickly, your visitor is gone. We’ve grown accustomed to instant gratification online. If your web page takes longer than a few seconds to load, you may miss out on valuable prospects and visitors. They won’t be happy while they’re waiting for your pages to load.  Read more... (528 words, 1 image, estimated 2:07 mins reading time)

Posted on September 29, 2016 by DeAnnaSeptember 29, 2016

Studying the metrics of what you do is a very important part of having a successful business. Without looking at the numbers you really cannot know exactly why you experienced either success or failure.

You can even assign values to conversions so that Google Analytics tells you what a particular conversion is worth to you without you having to leave the system.  Read more...
