In the real world, you warmly greet any visitors that arrive at your businesses premises or speak to you on the phone asking about your products and services. You go out of your way to make them feel welcome. In fact you will work quite hard to make sure that you get that sale and they leave feeling happy with their decision.

On the Internet it is very different. Visitors arrive at your site without you even knowing about it.

Left to their own devices, they decide whether or not to make a purchase. If they buy from you, congratulations, you have made a sale. However you haven’t had to work for the sale and you certainly don’t meet them.

It is hardly surprising therefore for some business owners to take their online customers for granted. In fact is easy to forget that they are real people.

This is a mistake. In fact, you should be working even harder to get the sales online and never take your customers for granted.

Your clients have more choice than ever and can choose to spend their hard-earned money with whichever company they think will provide not only the best deal, but also buying experience.

If you can tailor your site to make your visitor feel valued and important and take the time to understand them and consciously try to solve their problems you will get many more sales and build a strong following of loyal customers.

This article will show you how. Here is a list of 10 things that your customers wish you knew about them:

Top 20 Website Do's and Don'ts

See FULL PDF REPORT HERE:- https://www.quintanet.com/top-20-website-dos-and-donts/

A website is the most important marketing tool for your business. Fortunately it is much easier to establish a web presence than it used to be.

A few years back, many smaller businesses were put off from setting up a website because it was too technical (and expensive), and once a website was created, they were at the mercy of their tech guy because he was the only one that could make changes or updates to the site.

Things have changed. Creating websites are much more straightforward these days, and because of the way that they are built, anybody with even the most basic tech knowledge can make changes and additions to a website in a matter of minutes.

What Kind of Site is Best for Your Business?
While you could run an online business using nothing but social media, having a website is such an essential starting point.

The aim of all your online marketing such as social media activities, is to drive people to your website. Your website is the hub of all your online marketing activities. Not only do you direct people to your website, but you also use your website as a springboard to all of your other online activities on the Internet, such as your company blog and social media.

The other point of your website is to sell your products and services. Once you have gone to the trouble of getting people to your site, you want to sell your products and services. Make your website your online point of sale.

But what kind of website would be best for your business? Your market, your business and its needs will determine what kind of website you will need. Some options include:

A brochure website: Websites used to be boring. They tended to be static collections of pages that were published online, very much like an online version of a business brochure. Nowadays, visitors expect so much more from our websites than an uploaded brochure page. They expect dynamic, ever-changing content. A brochure site will establish a web presence for you, but it is not going to get you many leads as a dynamic website.

A blog: A blog is really just a special kind of website that you can update yourself, not just posts that are regularly updated, but pages that are more static. This means that you can use blogging software such as Wordpress as a content management system (CMS) to build an entire website such as About Us, FAQ’s, Products and Contact pages. Many people to save time are now embedding their Facebook Live Feed into the website so latest offers and information can be published on both (and even Instagram) at the same time.
This helps to keep viewers on your site.

An e-commerce site: This is a website that is set up to sell products and take payments online. It is no longer necessary to invest a small fortune in creating bespoke e-commerce sites with your own shopping cart function coded from scratch. There are lots of e-commerce software options that you can use on your site, and most CMS have ecommerce plugins available. Accepting payments is so much easier too. It is now acceptable for any business to use PayPal to take payments on their website without looking unprofessional. Most global businesses accept PayPal payments. You can even sell your products through an eBay or Amazon store that you link to from your website.

Why a website is essential for business

As we stressed earlier, a website is the most important marketing tool for your business. An online presence is a minimum requirement if you want to present a professional image, reach new customers and increase profits. A website:

• Is a ‘store window’ that works for you 24 hours a day.
• Enables you to reach a global market.
• Promotes your products and services
• Gives your credibility
• Offers online support to your customers (which can save you time).
• Provides a way for people to contact you.

Your clients and customers expect you to be online. How many times have people asked your for your website address, or said that they will Google you? If you are not online, your business does not exist and they will go to your competition who does have a website instead. ***Read the FULL PDF Report here***:- https://www.quintanet.com/top-20-website-dos-and-donts/

Is your business or website GDPR compliant.
GDPR is a new EU regulation (on May 25th 2018) which in simple terms means that any data you may keep on any customer in future, you must keep secure and responsible records which your clients can demand to see at any time. Unfortunately this even means mobile phone records as well. If you have a website, you will need a separate privacy policy page informing your clients of how you use data and cookies.
The fines for non compliance are eye watering but EU will not be able to check everyone yet...probably at first, only where there has been specific complaints.
If you need any advice on GDPR or need your website upgrading, please contact us...no obligation.
