If you're reading this, your website is not working for you. This is an especially bad thing if your website is getting a fair amount of visitors and still are not accomplishing your goals. Perhaps you have a great website and nobody can find it. Whatever the case, there are three important steps you must take in order to make your website work for you:
1) Define what you want your website to accomplish.
2) Define several obvious reasons that your website is not accomplishing this already
3) Take action and make noise.
Spend 10 minutes a day one of these three steps and your website will be much better in no time. Defining what you want your website to accomplish may seem like an obvious thing to do and yet is often overlooked. The design of a website that simply feeds users articles should be very different than a website that is a search engine, for example. You need to build your website from the ground up with its main function in mind. Do not think about what your website looks like before thinking about how it accomplishes your goals. Do not design your website to look good, design it to attract the people who you are after. Figure out your website's obvious shortcomings. There are usually pretty obvious reasons why a website is not accomplishing what it is intended to accomplish. If your website is focused enough on its purpose then you must reconsider its functional design. But if your website has no traffic, then you cannot expect any amount of design to help. Knowing where to focus your efforts will save you time and money. Plus, if you intend to hire web designers, you will be confident when they ask you to identify the purpose of your site - something that will in turn save you time and money.
These three basic steps are seemingly common-sense but yet many designers often make things far more complicated than they have to be. By spending time on each step there is no doubt that you will see great improvements with your websites overall performance. And by focusing your efforts on the fundamentals of web design you will find that you are making much better decisions with your time and that your 10 minutes a day are more productive than ever before.
