The fundament purpose of your website is to market your products / services and be a centralized resource for your clients and prospects. It is also created to serve as your virtual sales team and administrative assistant.
Let’s start with your website design and layout. It should be clean, simple and loads quickly. It should also be eye-catching with a well-defined color scheme, layout design and professional looking graphics. If you chose to use the WordPress Publishing Platform, then it may be much easier to find a theme/template that you can use for a professional look and feel.
In addition to a great design and layout, your Navigation Menu must be easy to use and flow from page to page. Depending on the theme that I’m using, I’ll use a navigation menu bar near the top of the page and another down the left or right side. This makes it easier for your visitors to move through your website.
