Your site is your shop window, it should look professional, <span id=\"spans0e0\" class=\"sac\">trustworthy<\/span>, and answer every question people have about your product. So here are some tips for website design for startups.<\/p>\n<h2>Here Are 10 Tips Every <span id=\"spans0e0\" class=\"sac\">Startups, Website<\/span> Design Should Have.<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Be Clear About What Your Website Offers.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen a potential customer visits your website they should know in seconds what <span id=\"spans0e0\" class=\"sac\">your<\/span> site offers. Even now there <span id=\"spans0e1\" class=\"sac\">is<\/span> <span id=\"spans0e2\" class=\"sac\">a website<\/span> that I visit and I don&#8217;t know what they offer don&#8217;t make the same mistake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nurture The Clients You Have.<\/strong><br \/>\nBeing a start up you may not have many clients, <span id=\"spans0e0\" class=\"sac\">it&#8217;s<\/span> tough getting that first one we\u2019ve all been there. Once you do get one nurture them. Add a written\/video review from them to your website, have a news page where you can add what you did to improve their business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offer A Free Sample Or A Demonstration Through Your Website.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you can <span id=\"spans0e0\" class=\"sac\">add<\/span> a free sample of your product, this is a great way of trust in your new business. If you <span id=\"spans0e1\" class=\"sac\">can&#8217;t<\/span> offer something free show examples of your work from other customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make It Easy To Buy Or Sign Up.<\/strong><br \/>\nHave a simple buy now or sign up process. Be clear on cost include things like VAT, <span id=\"spans0e0\" class=\"sac\">postage, etc.<\/span> up front, many <span id=\"spans0e1\" class=\"sac\">people, including<\/span> myself hate it when you go through a full buying process and money for extra are added to the cost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stand Out.<\/strong><br \/>\nBe different from your competitors, build a \u201cBrand\u201d that fits with you. Carry that brand across all your business. Standing out on the internet means potential clients will seek you out. Never just follow what everyone else is doing. Build a business that is different.<\/p>\n<h3>Build A Business That Is Different.<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Be A Real Person.<\/strong><br \/>\nInclude a profile of yourself and your key staff on the website. People like to deal with a real person don\u2019t be a faceless brand. One advantage a small business has over large one is you can create a relationship with your clients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design Your Website For Your Customers Not Yourself.<\/strong><br \/>\nNever design a website how you like it, design it how your customers like it they&#8217;re the people who are going to be using the site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get Your Message Out There.<\/strong><br \/>\nStart website SEO and social media marketing from day one. Have a presence on all big social networks you can later concentrate on a few that have worked well for you. Also start link building and creating great content from day one of the site going live \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gikmedia.com\/blog\/index.php\/5-tips-on-using-social-media-websites-to-get-more-followers\">Read more on Social Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep An Eye On The Internet.<\/strong><br \/>\nKeep up to date with what\u2019s happening on the internet, if you don\u2019t have the time make sure you web designer does. There are always new things being developed and these could help you promote and improve your website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have A Long Term Plan.<\/strong><br \/>\nPlan what you want to do with you website in the coming months and years and test and measure to see what does and doesn\u2019t work. Use analytic software on your website, to make sure you are achieving your goals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wdfscon\">\n<h2>Concluding Website Design For Startups.<\/h2>\n<p>Creating a great website design for startups that gets you new clients is a long process.
