Short Tip: Web site design

Don't load your web site with a lot of high tech clutter.

Your visitors may miss your whole sales message.

Haven't you ever visited a web site which had graphic ads, text scrolling and flashing words all crammed together?

If you have, it was likely you found it confusing and hard on the eyes and you just said forget it.

The Essentials of a Shopping Web SIte

The basic essentials of any web site are as follows:
  • Simplicity - easy navigation
  • No gizmos - just highly usable sites
  • Great service and information
  • Clearly posted privacy and security policies
  • Provide an opportunity for long term relationships
  • Accessibility to a variety of items on a regular basis at one particular place (especially for a shopping site)
To sum it all up, surfers just want web sites that will make their lives easier.

And...,

They want customer-focused service...

...with a smile!

Now, I don't think this is an unreasonable request, for any type of sites as a matter of fact.
