How to boost your conversion rates on your website?

So you have a website but nobody is contacting you or you are not making any leads or sales? Well in this blog post we will learn the best ways to increase your conversion rates and get more sales and leads online.

 

1. Call to Actions (CTA's)

Call to actions are one of the most important parts to your website. They tell the user where to click to complete certain actions. You need to ensure these stand out from the rest of the page. Make them clear, bold and colourful. Also it is important to use the correct wording when creating call to actions.

Here is a list of words which help you get better conversions:

  1. Get a demo
  2. Contact Us
  3. Free Trial
  4. Learn More
  5. Join Free
  6. Shop Now

The list is endless but you need to make sure you are consistent with these across the site and make less important CTA's less intrusive to the more Important. For Example Learn More could be in a lighter shade whereas the Contact Us could be bright and bold to stand out more.

2. Clear, to the point headings

Your visitors want to know exactly what you do as soon as they enter your site. By making sure your headers and images at the top of your pages say exactly what the page is about whilst also being encouraging with your wording. As you can see from our website above we explain that this page is about "Responsive Website Design to grow your business online". Then as they scroll down you learn more and more.

 

3. Navigation

You need to narrow your navigation down to ensure you are only showing the most important pages. Later on, you can use CTA's to other pages or use dropdowns for sections with a lot of sub-pages. Overall, you need to make it very easy for users to come to your site and access the important information that they need. Playing around with this and working with a designer could help increase conversions substantially.

 

4. Speed Optimization

When visitors come to your website, they have a few seconds before they decide to stay or leave. Now if your website is slow to load you are increasing the chances for the user to click off, as humans, we are a very impatient bunch. Now by making sure you are speeding up your pages and running speed test audits monthly you can increase your bounce rate and in turn bring in more sales. Learn More
