A website is one of the most powerful marketing tools a company can have. The key to producing results with a website is to USE IT. So how can you use your website; transforming it into a prospect producing, sales driven marketing machine?

The best way to attract prospects and drive sales and service through a website is to keep cms-wysiwygit updated. There are the obvious items, which include updating service and products as they change, updating employees as they come and go and updating website images (especially on the homepage) for a change of scenery. Content management systems (CMS) make website updates incredibly easy and user friendly. Text and images on a website can be swapped out in a matter of minutes with this powerful tool. Today, we rarely build a site without a CMS because our web design clients want the ease of updating the website themselves.

One area that is often forgotten on a website (which is often the most important) is the blog. Blogs serve multiple purposes. The first is to keep customers and prospects updated on your company, on your industry and to provide education to the consumer. If a website never changes or has new content, why would a user return? Think about the perception of your company a prospect will have if they see your last blog article was posted 2 years ago.

The second purpose of a blog is to gain organic search engine optimization (SEO). At JM, blog-categories-tagswe utilize WordPress for our CMS, which includes blog integration. The WordPress system is not only easy to update, but is also equipped with powerful SEO tools for success in the search engines. When posting a blog you can integrate search keywords into the posts, categories and tags to create a more powerful keyword presence. The key to this is posting consistently!

If you are not able to manage your own website content, you are missing out of a powerful marketing tool. If you can update your website, but do not have the time, we would highly encourage you to hire someone to update it for you. At JM we offer blog writing services, website copywriting services and SEO packages for both local Omaha businesses and national companies to help keep your website updated and search engine friendly.

With an ever-increasing amount of competition, for many businesses, the Internet is a difficult place to stand out from the crowd. Whether you’re business is a local Omaha company or nation-wide, competition in the search engines can be tough to overcome. What will cause a customer to give their businesses to your company over your competitor? There are several key items to implement into your website can in order to give prospects a compelling reason to believe your company is the best.

One of the first items on the list should be, of course, a beautiful and functional website design. Your website should depict the same atmosphere as an inviting and friendly storefront. With less than 30 seconds to capture a user’s attention, inviting graphics, quality images and a clear call to action on your website can invite users to learn a bit more about your product, services and people.

The most powerful way to gain prospects’ business is through providing a dramatic difference. Through design and content, show what sets your company’s services and products apart from your competition. Often, a company’s dramatic difference is its people. By showcasing a talented and dedicated staff with a prominent mission statement and values they all adhere to – your website has a greater potential of reaching your target.

Giving users a compelling reason to believe your company is the right choice is a key component in turning prospects into customers on the web. So, first things first – upgrade your website design to reflect a welcoming store front. Then, partner a great website design with showcasing your dramatic differences and you may see real success in a competitive online marketplace.

At JM, we often design and build websites for local Omaha companies who have a great product and staff, but have no photos of projects, services or staff for a website. Today, I’m going to talk to you about making a website personal.

Small businesses, especially in this economy, need to set themselves apart from their competition. With Internet ranking Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as one of the highest forms of gathering prospects, the importance of a personalized website is vital to a business’ prospect building and overall survival.

The first step is, of course, an overall website design that accurately reflects a company’s atmosphere and culture. We help our customers accomplish this through a thorough process of interviewing our clients and getting to know their company and future goals.

After the design is done, it’s time to plug in quality content (which we’ve already discussed here) and personalized images. High quality images of a business location, products, finished work and employees are important in building rapport online. The web design style lends itself to large images and minimal content. A picture is worth a thousand words and a good quality image speaks volumes about attention to detail.

At JM, we often run into this comment from business owners: “I don’t want my picture on about-pagethe website.” Did you know that the “About”/”Our Staff” pages are the most visited pages on a majority of our websites? People want to see who they are doing business with, read about their credentials and family. Many business owners don’t think prospects care – but they do! Analytics don’t lie, and ours tell us that people care.

We do, also, realize that you may not have the equipment to take beautiful photos or the gift to write detailed and personal biographies about your employees. But we do! If you don’t feel as though your website is personal enough, let us help you change your online image.
