Visitors don’t read…they SCAN!

What is Website Improvement?

Improving your website means making it more effective at accomplishing goals, whether they are sales or qualified leads. This translates to increasing your return on investment (ROI) and conversion rates. We help your company grow!

Who needs Website Improvement?

Any company with a website that is interested in growing. It doesn’t matter if your website makes oodles of money. This service works to further increase your success.

“68% of the time, users were unable to find specific information on 15 large commercial sites.”
- Jared Spool, User Interface Engineering

We don’t have a website.
Great! Effect Web Agency will build a highly effective website with great potential from the start. See: Create Your Website With Us

Our website doesn’t get much traffic or the right traffic…
Would you consider investing into a marketing effort that has 3-times higher ROI than Pay-Per-Click advertising? See: Search Engine Optimization.

What kind of service is this: one-time? on-going?
While there may be obvious improvements to be made up front, the best results come through our on-going improvement process. Your website needs to grow with your company.

What is the first step?

In order to improve, you must first know your goals and current situation. Different websites have different goals. What are your website’s goals? Let’s get your website on the road to maximum effectiveness before your competitors wise up.

There are two kinds of websites. Yes, exactly two:

The Traditional Website

99% of the websites on the internet fall within this category. If you’ve ever surfed the internet, it’s safe to say you’ve experienced a Traditional Website. They are easy to spot by the hard-to-use interface, unclear goals, or stale content. We’re talking about websites that are missing vital ingredients, like:

• Ingredient A: Goals
• Ingredient B: Proper Marketing, Exposure through search engines
• Ingredient C: Usability, User-Throughput, and Conversion
• Ingredient D: Tracking and Improvement

How are “Traditional Websites” created?

Be careful, it is easy to make this type of website. We’ve listed common causes below. Some of these examples may even sound familiar:

• “My nephew ‘does websites’ on the side”
• Hiring the ‘Reactive’ Web Developer (They do exactly what you tell them)
• Hiring the ‘Local Company’, because they’re local
• Hiring the ‘Cheap Company’, because they’re cheaper
• Hiring the ‘Expensive Company’, because they must be better
• Hiring the Jack-of-all-trades Company that “does Video Production / Print Media / Website Design / etc.”
• “We can do it in-house” or “Our IT guy knows computers…”

Generally, this client ends up with a non-productive website that has cost the company much more than they would have ever spent by doing it right. Anyone can design a website. Yes, it’s true. But the ability to create a website is only one piece of the pie.

The Effective Website

This kind of website gives the user a surprisingly pleasant experience. It’s easy to find what they want. The goals are clear. The text speaks to the user. Expectations are met.

Behind the scenes, the owner knows what is happening, like:

• What users are doing
• From where the users that are converting to leads/sales came
• The conversion rates are in the lead/sales generation process
• How to improve these numbers further

We ask companies, “Do you know how much your website is worth?”. Nine out of ten companies, say “we don’t know”. We want to dispel common misconceptions:

Websites are NOT magic. Websites run on computers. Results ARE quantifiable.

Do you want your money and effort to produce positive results?

So do we. Read on…

Effective websites accomplish goals and return your investment. Your company has goals–whether they are sales, leads, or delivering information. Do you want your website to be effective in reaching those goals?

What is an ‘Effective Website’?

An effective website is a measurable, valuable, and essential asset to your business.

Effective Websites Produce Results.

Do you want your money and effort to produce positive results? So do we.

The Results of an Effective Website:

• High Return on Investment (ROI)
• Elevated Company Image and Industry Authority
• Positive Feedback from all angles.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that your investment is not in vain.
• Customer Loyalty (retail)
• Large Number of Qualified Leads (lead generation)
• Growth
• Satisfaction
• Confidence
• Accomplished Company Goals
• Accomplished Personal Goals

Anyone can make a website, but the ability to create a website is only one piece of the pie.
