Ha! If it were only that easy! The Web is the one sales environment where the customer has total empowerment. They have all the resources (i.e., your competitors) just a mouse-click away.
Not only are you in competition with the millions of other Web sites owners who sell the same product/service as you, but you are also competing for users' time and attention. While search engine optimization and submission can bring you the traffic you need, only you can ensure that visitors will stay on your site by giving them a reason to want to stay. That is where Web site usability comes in.
What is Web site usability?
The International Standards Organization (ISO) defines Web site usability as the "effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which a specified set of users can achieve a specified set of tasks in a particular environment." In simpler terms, usability is how efficiently and effectively users can accomplish what they are trying to do when they visit your Web site.
Now that you have an understanding of usability, we'll explain the basics of what a Web site should include to make the most of the user experience:
Content is king
Let's face it, people visit Web sites for content -- they want information. Sure, it helps if your site is visibly appealing as well. But, without the right content, the results of the user experience can be fatal to your business. They simply won't come back.
Here are a few tips to remember in regards to content:
1. Be concise. Research shows that reading from a computer screen is about 25% slower than reading from paper or other print medium. To that end, you will want to edit your writing to say the exact same thing in half the words it would take if you were writing on paper. Also, think back to the last time you came to one of those really long-winded Web sites where the content may have been great, but you still had to scroll and scroll and scroll to get to the end. It can be a nuisance. So, keep your pages short.
2. Make your content scannable. When people use the Internet, they are looking at mass amounts of information. Help them get to the core of what they want by using bulleted items, short paragraphs, and subheadings to make it easier for them to find what they are looking for.

In part 1 you saw the root causes of disharmony in teams. In this part, you will find some simple in-house steps that you can use to build the coherence of your team, increasing motivation and productivity, whilst making your job easier! Value the staff in your department or management group. Treat them with respect and communicate with them.Value through actionValuing your staff through action is much more effective than just telling them. One Boss I knew used to gather staff together at key times during the year, which was about the only time he saw most people. He gave a little pep-talk about how hard things would be and how we needed to pull together and generally finished telling staff how 'sincerely I value your contribution'. If you have to tell people much you value their contribution, then they tend to believe that you don't. If they can SEE that you value their contribution, they know. That’s Human nature. Do make sure tha

A desk name plate furnishes a professional appearance to any place of work. It perks up the desk and workplace setting. Desk name plates are customized or personalized, so that the customer can choose his own design and description. Desk name plates vary from one customer to another not only in name, designation, logo and address, but also in design and texture. The text of a desk name plate could vary from one line to three lines. Lines may include only the customer’s name, or everything from the customer’s name, designation, and his company’s name and logo. In some cases desk name plates also contain different floral designs. A desk name plate is useful not only for offices, businesses, and stores, but also for houses of worship and wherever else it is considered necessary.Marble, wood, metal and plastic are some of the various raw materials for desk name plates. Marble and wood can be engraved, whereas metal as well as synthetic name pla

Do you want to not be actively participating in day-to-day marketing activities?Do you want your target market to come to your web site and subscribe to your newsletter?Do you want qualified buyers to come to your web site, buy your product and download it, all without any involvement from you?One of the important building blocks of creating passive income streams is to have a web site that can do as much as possible for your web site visitors, before you get involved. For example:- If someone wants to become your business coaching client, they should be able to fill out a questionnaire with information about their business, their goals, their budget, etc. This way, the client will be pre-qualified online, instead of you spending time on pre-qualification. Pre-qualification is a good process to automate, as answering a questionnaire can be done easily online.- When someone wants to buy your ebook or special repor
2. Make your content scannable. When people use the Internet, they are looking at mass amounts of information. Help them get to the core of what they want by using bulleted items, short paragraphs, and subheadings to make it easier for them to find what they are looking for.
3. Write without error. There is no excuse -- absolutely none -- for poor grammar, typographical errors, and misspellings. If you own a computer, you have access to spell-checking and grammar-checking technologies. Use them. These small details will reflect upon your site. If you don't convey professionalism on your own business, how will you be conveyed to potential clients? Can they trust you with theirs? Before uploading any new content, proofread it. Then, turn it over to someone else for their input.
4. Write as if you were a Public Relations pro. Granted, many of us aren't PR exec's, but you should know how to market your business. Use the lingo that is most appropriate for your business. While you want to provide information, your main goal is still one thing: to sell. So, write to sell.
5. Maximize your keywords. As part of the search engine optimization process, you went to great lengths to select keywords and phrases that are most appropriate for your business. Be sure to use them whenever possible (without being overtly redundant) in your content.
6. Refresh, refresh, refresh. Web sites should be updated on a regular basis -- don't let them go stale. Add new products/services, update users with new information and tools, do what you can to change your content and keep users coming back for more.
7. Know your audience. Since most audiences vary in terms of experience level with both your product/service and their experience level with the internet, you will want to simplify things more than ever. You don't want to talk to yourself - make sure potential clients understand your product/service. The best way to do this is to create content that is informative, yet easy to understand for even the newest of the newbies.
Web site design
Secondary to content is the actual design of your Web site. While the user comes to your site specifically for information, they also will want to enter an area that is easy to use and visually appealing. Here are some usability tips regarding Web site design:
