By Sameep Shah


A website is a positive way to increase your sales, productivity and market value. It doesn't matter the size of your company, it's vital to be able to reach your costumers in a massive way and make it simple to them. There's nothing better than the internet to achieve this.

A website can elevate the prestige of a company and allows your clients to increase the level of trust toward your product and service. All of these can be accomplished if you have a good website.

For a webpage to guarantee quality, profitability and traffic should fulfil some basic requirements to be successful on the web.

- Utility; the content has to be useful. Your site may have everything else but if your content is not useful or related to the whole theme of your site the user will abandon the page within a few seconds of entering and will not visit your webpage again, at least not in some time. Remember, useful information related to your product or theme is rule number one.

- Easy Navigation; if the user gets lost, has trouble understanding what's going on, or is unable to find the information he's looking for in an easy was he will end up leaving the page. Visitors get tired, and there's many other options out there on the whole web that if it's not simple they will just move on to the next page.

- Appearance; appearance of a web page is important. Take into consideration the colors of your company and try to use things you know will work for your potential visitors, for example very strong colors can cause fatigue and rejection to certain people, so be smart when you do this. A good content can look as bad content if your website's appearance is not good.

-Simple Structure; everything has to be clear and concise. Bold the important words and make sure everything is well structured.

-Keep it short and fresh; try to be concise and use relevant information. Don't bore the user with things that are not relevant, use simple words, keep it short and interesting. Update your material, catalogs or whatever you have in your site.

-Relevant texts; the copy has to be clearly composed, the information has to be concise but have to be relevant and explain in few words what you have to say or what you are selling.

- Few clicks; this is fundamental, the quicker and easier the better.

- Avoid bad habits; unnecessary registrations, pop-up windows, obliging to install useless software, links that don't work, content that don't exist, etc. These are the elements that more rejection provoke between users.

-Interaction; this is a social media era and your webpage also has to be interactive. The users don't only demand information, but also the possibility of interacting with your page.

-Information; its imperative you provide your contact information. This will make your company look professional, and the levels of trust of your potential clients increase. It's not the same to offer a contact number than just give an email address.

You should also remember that is vital you measure your results. No need to measure everything but, you'll be able to know what your visitor wants, what users are looking for, and how you can improve your weak points.

These are the basic characteristics every decent and good website should have. The internet can make you reach people all around the globe, expand your brand or your products to places that other way would be impossible, the internet is an amazing tool if you know how to use it in your favor.
