14 Fantastic Scrolling Websites That Tell a Story

14 Fantastic Scrolling Websites That Tell a Story | Just Story It | Scoop.it
In the past year or so there has been a trend in web design towards the use of scrolling, which can help to engage visitors and provides a feeling of movement and animation.


Hah -- don't believe the title! What an amazing opportunity (scrolling websites) and what terrible storytelling. Because there was none.  OK -- there was a little. 


The site on Fracking site tells a story. The Bagigia and Apologie sites sort of do, but fall short.


Several other sites are totally slimy because once you get on them, you can't press the back-button to leave. That annoys me to no end!


So where does this leave us?  Please -- don't do what these companies did! If you are going to use a scrolling website, you have a HUGE opportunity to actually share your story using this very cool technique.  


You can share stories about how you got started, what happens with your customers, the future you are creating in the world, and back stories of your staff/product creation process.


Don't bore us with product features like these websites do! Haven't we learned that lesson yet???


Imagine how much money they spent, and wasted! You can do waaaaaayyyyy better than these folks.

I think this is a great article not only for real estate agents, but also for any business.  And I really like the practical advice and examples specifically geared towards real estate professionals!


Here's how any business can use this advice: find out what your customer stories are, and then craft your biz stories to connect with their stories.  CAUTION: don't make up stories. Making up biz stories to hook customers is manipulation.


Instead, craft your authentic business stories. Part of your work is attracting customers who can connect with your stories.  But don't do this blind -- find out as much as you can about the kinds of customers you want to work with and their stories.  There should be natural connections between your stories and theirs. So find them!
