Todd Herman's Internet Business Info & Tips Blog

What can keep the visitors to your website coming back to the site again and again? This indeed is an intriguing problem. We need to think from the perspective of the visitor and see from the visitor’s point of view as to what he or she is looking for in the website. Let’s try and analysis these common issues and their possible solutions.

1.Regularly Updated Content
It is easily the most important factor. The latest up to date content; Think for example a simple website of a web designing company. Now suppose they have a price list for a few services on the website which was changed last week. But the website still does not have the latest list. A prospective client visits the website and decides to buy a service; However when he later on comes to know that the price is different. He may either be put off by the company’s unprofessional behaviour or would from the next time simply call rather than visiting the website. If the genre which your website addresses does not require the content to be updated then you may want to focus on making the content better than your competition. The information on your website should be the latest and the most updated one.

2.Neat Layout
A neat layout or a good presentation of the content that you have created adds further value to your content. A simple and aesthetic layout always scores more. Classifying information into logical sections and then presenting it to the user has its advantages.

3.Usability
Good Navigation, clear Texts and pleasing colors are a few things that make your site more ‘user-friendly’. Good and understandable navigation is a must for every website. It is always a good idea to think what matters to your visitors the most and place that information right on the front page. Just like most of the travel websites have a form to book a ticket right on the front page. The main idea is to think from the visitor’s perspective.

4.Value Added Services
These features can make the difference between two very similar websites. G-mail is probably an illustration of this. It also provided email facilities to its clients and so did others like Yahoo or Hotmail but just because it made the whole user experience so simple and had some cool value added services like embedded chats, it has become more popular.

The crux of the story is simple. Plan your website well; Get into the visitors shoes and think what can keep bringing you to the site again and again. Keep a constant check on your competition and always try and think ahead of them.
