Custom Website Design That Motivates, Converts and Ranks

When creating a website from scratch, it is best to make a custom website outline before you begin the design process.  You must determine 3 things before you begin. Who is your target audience, why should they buy from you and what will your visitors be looking for when they arrive on your web site.  I challenge you to start on a blank sheet of paper and write down these three things.

Knowing your target audience is key, this will help you to figure out what motivates your audience and how to design your website around their specific desires.  If you are selling a service to a successful business audience, maybe low costs aren't needed as a focus. If you are selling ipods to the college student demographic, it is time to take pricing in to consideration.  A successful custom website design is only as successful as the visitor deems it.

Next, you must offer something that sets your company apart when a visitor lands on your web site. With the internet, shopping around is so incredibly simple - so you must set your self apart. Unfortunately offering free shipping is no longer the fix-all solution to obtain a visitor's order!  Think of other things you can do to motivate your consumers to purchase. For example, if a customer is buying an Ipod, why not offer $20 in free sound downloads? I am sure you can work out some sort of deal with a music store to get those credits for half or a third of the price!  If you are selling shammies to wash a car, offer your visitors a free car freshener or something like that (this would often times only cost $.50 or so bought in bulk).

Next, you need to find out what a visitor wants to see immediately when they land on your web site. Are they looking to find a specific product fast, and if so - how will you sell that consumer within the next 15 seconds. Literally internet shoppers give about that much time to be sold on a product.  If your visitors are landing on your home page looking for Ipod's, they need to find out instantly that you are offering something special to that visitor, and that is the reason they should buy from you. Don't be afraid to make bold statements that are extremely noticeable to your consumers.

Next lets talk about getting visitor's to your web site and gaining top search engine rankings. This is not an easy task, however there are many things you can do to begin becoming a successful internet entrepreneur.

Google will often times sandbox a new website to the internet and not allow top rankings immediately. So you must figure out a strategy to bring extra visitor's to your web site without organic search rankings.  Try to consider paid advertising through companies like google, yahoo and msn.  Paid advertising campaigns allows you to buy clicks for certain key terms you believe your consumers would be looking for.

You must also implement a search engine optimization strategy to start improving organic search engine results.  Work hard to gain links to your site by exchanging links with other web sites, composing articles for submission and other tactics. You can also get ecommerce web sites in to google shopping and many comparison shopping websites rather easily these days - which can drive business your way.  This takes time and persistance, plan on writing an article every saturday morning talking about your products and linking to your web site. Make sure to include good key words in the article title and description that relate to your web site. Also make sure to include your main key words in the link to your site.

Hopefully this synopsis helped, best of luck with your custom web site design.

why won't my car start?

i have a 1988 gmc vandura. when i get in when it is cold, or sometimes just when it is really humid(but mostly during the winter)i put the key in the ignition(lights and radio come on), but when i turn the key, everything goes blank and i get no noise. it is not trying to turn over at all, just dead silence. i first changed the battery, then the alternator. some guy at autozone said try the nuetral safety switch, but that wasn't it either.i more recently tried the distributor cap and just the other day i changed my starter. it is a custom van, so i am trying to change everything else before i move to wires.i have seen this seems to be fairly common, but the answers are usually way different. so i gues i am asking for a list of things. spark plugs? wires? give em all to me. i need help! i can't afford too many more cab rides to work. thanx.

My first suspicion would be the battery, but you say you changed it, make sure your connections are tight and clean. the alternator would not have anything to do with starting, it just charges the battery once the engine is running. the neutral safety switch could cause that, but probably not. the distributor cap again has nothing to do with the engine not turning over. my next suspicion after the battery would be the starter, you say you changed that already.

Here's what i think is going on, you turn the key and all the lights/ radio etc. go out as normal to send the maximum amount of battery power to the starter, the engine does not turn over though, and the starter does not even click, you are not getting power to the solenoid terminal on the starter (usually purple wire), power to that comes from the ignition switch which is located on top of the steering column and is actuated by a rod coming from the lock cylinder where you put the key in. the ignition switch is either out of adjustment so the plunger in it is not going down all the way and making contact, or more commonly the contact is bad and the ignition switch needs to be replaced. in colder or more humid winter it's worse and may sometimes make contact, but not dependably.
