So, if they click on about us, it should go to a page that provides information about your company. If they click on contact, it should go to a page with your number and email address. The most important page is the home page because it is the first page anybody sees when they go to your website. Keep it basic – nobody wants to see lots of complicated graphics and images – and make sure it is free of adverts – customers want to find out about you – they don’t want to be sold things. In simple terms, make sure the content you provide on the page is simple and necessary. It’s a good idea to use the latest, up-to-datesoftware when designing your website as it needs to be reliable – hopefully, it will have to withstand a lot of online traffic.
