Making Your Website A Success - How To Achieve Accountability In Your Web Design, Barnsley Advice From Specialist Enterprise Coaches

One of the biggest issues that we come across when coaching businesses in their online (and offline) marketing is the age old problem of a business website not delivering anything at all in the way of leads, enquiries or sales.

Why does your website not deliver any enuquiries or sales?

Because the website is not designed to achieve the results required.

And moreover, in 90% of cases, the website isn't held accountable for its own success; it looks pretty so it should perform? 'Fraid not.

How To Set Out Your Website Goals & Objectives

Ongoing accountability and measurement of your website's performance is paramount to achieving long-term success online.

However, most people only start worrying about the performance of their website once it has been launched.

Considering a multitude of questions and the answers you'd like before you even start a web design can reap exceptional rewards and avoid many performance pitfalls throughout the life of your website.

Here are a few things to consider:

• What exactly do you want out of your website?
  
  More direct sales? More telephone enquiries? More exposure to your market?
• What is your market?
  
  Sounds simple enough, but get this most basic of information written down somewhere. Why? Well, then you'll be more conscious that, for example, a grungy, black red and pink website will not appeal to a market of accountants...
• What is your capacity to receive the success of your objectives?
  
  This is a key question. If you can only physically answer 10 telephone calls per hour, how would you cope if you started receiving 30?
  
  Additionally, doing a bit of research on the potential traffic your website should generate will allow you to gauge realistically how many enquries you'll receive based on industry standard enquiry levels.
  
  You can then translate that to how many physical enquries you'll convert to sales based on your own measured conversion rate.
  
  For example, you know that you'll sell to 3 out of every 10 people that telephone you, and that 5 out of every 10 visitors to your website will get in touch.
  
  This means 100 visitors = 50 enquiries = 15 sales.
