What makes a great website?
Design
Obviously it goes without saying, ugly design repels people from using your website. Your website design needs to be professional and it needs to fit your brand. Colors, fonts, graphics, and photos must all work together in harmony to bring the best results. Simplicity is also key. You don’t need a highly creative design that wins awards. You need a design that sells your services or products. Hire a professional designer who is interested in your objectives and goals and not just their own.
Development
The way your website is developed has a tremendous impact on ROI. Your site must be up to current web standards and have proper code to function properly. If the development of your website is done by someone who is cheap or inexperienced, there’s a high probability that it will be detrimental to your online presence. Partner with a reputable and proven website developer who keeps up with current technology and standards.
Content
Content strategy should be a huge focus for your business! Google and other search engines place the highest importance on new content whether it’s a blog post, updated pages, videos, audio, or downloadable ebooks. Great content gets people to your website and gets them to link to it … and this is critical for SEO. If you believe a static, online brochure is going to bring you results, then don’t invest in a website. Quality content is the mandatory for positive results.
User Experience
How does your website work for the people who visit your site? Is it easy for them to find your resources or content? Does your website work on desktops and mobile devices? Is your font difficult to read? Can people figure out your menu system? Delivering a great user experience is critical. You can have amazing content or beautiful graphics, but if your visitor gets frustrated trying to use your website, you’ve already lost your investment.
Call to Action
This is the easiest to do, but it’s always the most neglected. If you get people to your website, you need to have a call to action. Get people to sign up for your email newsletter or purchase your product. Ask them to download your book or inquire about your services. If you don’t have a call to action, you will miss out on leads or sales because of it. Ask your visitors to do something that brings you ROI!
Final Thoughts
It’s no longer a question of whether you should have or need a website, but what type of website you will have built for your needs. There are now plenty of options available to a business owner. Unfortunately so many will choose the cheapest or quickest options, over the more expensive and proven solutions. This is why so many websites will fail and never achieve the type of results the business owner expects.

What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy the sincere appreciation I receive from not only my boss, but also the people I work with. A heartfelt “thanks” goes a long way to improving my attitude and productivity.
In terms of the nuts and bolts of my job, it involves dealing with various business, interactions, probing, designing, development, sales and marketing. I’ve always enjoyed puzzles and am always discovering new design features and concept, which only serve to remind me how little I really know about its full capabilities.
We switched to an unlimited pto policy, which takes a bit of getting used to. To me, it seems like I’m never quite sure if it’s okay to take time off. “Unlimited” really means “undefined,” but sounds better.
Okay, ending on a positive note, I'm good at my job and feel positive about my contribution to the business at the highest level.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always had the entrepreneurial mindset, but suddenly when the odds were against me, I knew in my heart it was time. The situation said "No", but my heart and mind said, "YESSSSS!" I have never regretted it.
