Business Improvement and Social media

I selected this article from Curatti written by Helen Miller because it shows you how to boost your brand with a stand-out website.

Branding and website development and design are not the same thing.

Promote Your Brand with a Strong Website

You can take your business image to a new level with the right design and content strategies. I agree that it's not just one method that will make this successful.

Miller provides examples and advice on establishing a brand identity that gets seen.

Here's what caught my attention:

• If your website is outdated there are new templates you can try in WordPress. Use a new design to help tell your brand story and establish your brand name.

• Before telling the story of your company find out first what your core values are, the strengths of your skills, what you want to be known for, the personality of your brand, and how you will stand out from the rest in your industry.

• Optimize your LinkedIn profile to make it more professional. Use a custom headline with a clear summary of what you have to offer your prospects.

Three ways you can improve your website design

Top Reasons to Update a Website

Every second a new website is born on the Internet. I agree that knowing what needs to be fixed is the first step to rebuilding a presence that your visitors will love.

Nair goes over the what to look for when assessing your business's most important online real estate.

Here's what caught my attention:

• If your traffic is declining this could be due to an outdated design. If it was created years ago it can appear to be sloppy and won't get the attention it deserves.

• We are well into the mobile purchase age, and this means all websites should be responsive or fall behind. It's important to be recognized on all devices.

• The general rule of thumb is for a website to load in two seconds or less. Anything longer than this can turn a visitor away quickly. One of the top culprits are images that are not optimized properly.
