Most business owners are going to want to find a website that brings them a lot of traffic. What they don't know is that having a lot of visitors to their site doesn't mean that they are going to get the visitors to buy anything from them. You may be surprised to find that web design is difficult because there are so many different opinions about what you should and shouldn't do to have your business succeed. If you want to get your website designed to close sales and not just bring in a lot of traffic, here is what you need to look for.

When figuring out what results you want you are going to ask yourself what the goal of your website is. It may be to make a profit by selling things, you may want to get people aware of your business or you may even just want to make money by selling advertising space to others. When you know what your goals are, you are going to be able to design your website more accurately to get what you want.

Next, you are going to want to talk to a web designer. Only those who are sure that they know how best to design websites are going to want to do the web design themselves. A professional is going to be able to get a clean layout and edit the copy so that it gets picked up by the search engine bots and ranked higher in the results. Also, don't forget about search engine optimization at this point when designing your web site.

The third thing to do in getting a result oriented website is to keep it clean and simple. By keeping everything as simple and as orderly as possible, you are going to be able to change your website often. A website that changes often is going to look like it is active to the search engine bots, which means that it's not just going to look like an abandoned website and go down in the search rankings over time.

The final thing you want to do is to make sure that you track your results. If you are after results and you change your existing website, you should be able to see the results within a couple of months. If you don't see the results, make sure that you go and do some more changes and keep tweaking your website until it's perfect. Eventually you will get there.

When making or fixing your website, you are going to want to design it for results, not just traffic. You could have a lot of people coming to your website, but if they only stay for a couple seconds, it's not going to do much good for your business. Getting the results that you want is going to boost your business and put it in a good position for expanding. - 16747
