There many reasons why business websites fail to perform
These often include:
1. Undefined website objectives – Every site should have a defined purpose with clear measurable objectives and ‘call to actions’.
2. Unspecified target audience – You need your message to be seen by the right people - prospects, not just anyone. Your site should be designed to appeal to that target audience.
3. Lack of visibility – if your target audience can’t find you when they search online….
4. Competition – Are they doing things better and so attracting your target audience?
5. Poor site design – Visitors are lazy. If it is hard work for visitors to navigate your site and locate relevant information, they’ll leave quickly.
6. Irrelevant content – Visitors are only interested in content which helps them with their quest. An effective site answers the questions in a visitor's mind.
7. Out of date information - When the content never changes, why will visitors want to return to your site? You need to give them a reason to return.
