How to Make a Home Page Better
I looked at the home page and immediately saw that the design and content was simply too busy
with no focus.
The company provided a number of services that although
related, were distinctly different.
Some companies have so much to sell and so many
stakeholders to please that a description and link to everything is somehow
crammed onto the home page.
This can be very unattractive and a turn-off to your
visitor
Rather, design the optimum home page by determining three or four general overall
categories and have an attractive box with a brief description and link to
another page. This sub-page can then introduce the category with appropriate
sub-links.
It may be hard to tell a department head that, no, there
won’t be a unique button to his page on the home page. But stick to your guns.
It will do him and your whole company good.
Easy Web Tip #46: You can make your home page better by keeping it clean and uncluttered. That way visitors can quickly find their unique areas of interest.
