Overcoming The Front Page Hurdle

by Michel Fortin Ph.D.

A web site's front page must captivate its audience and cause them to read further. It must first grab a reader's attention and then lead them to a specific outcome. However, when the mechanics of that very first page are ignored, it often causes visitors to click out of a site from as soon as they arrive.

Although some web sites get a large number of hits, many never seem to produce the anticipated level of response. This article does not focus on traffic-building specifically or on the programming elements of a good first page, but on its content, copy, looks, and consistency that will effectively captivate that traffic's attention. In other words, it is to compel today's leery and undiscerning audience to surf deeper into your site and to ultimately lead them to buy from you, subscribe to your newsletter, tell their friends about it, fill out a form, etc.

Remember that every single day, your customers are bombarded with a continuous flow of information and marketing messages, and that the competition for their attention is exceedingly fierce. Therefore, if your site is but a silent billboard in cyberspace, it won't do you much good. You have to capture their attention so that you not only have them visit deeper into your site and generate a desired outcome (sale, subscription etc.) but also have them visit your site again and again as well as refer your site to others. Here are some basic rules to follow when designing a front page:

Be Focused
Target your market! As the adage goes: "You can not be all things to all people." It's a paradox but you will indeed get more with less. This means focusing on a specific group of visitors. Cater to their unique needs or center your site on a strong, single theme. In other words, focus like a laser on your niche and, consequently, your site will burn into their minds.

J. Nicholas Schmidt of Profit Stream, Inc. (see http://www.profitstream.com), is the master when it comes to the theme store concept. According to Schmidt, sites centered on a very narrow theme or idea will create visitors of greater interest, and especially leads that are much more pre-qualified and apt to buy. Look at it this way: When you narrow down your message and focus on a niche, visitors will be 50% sold the minute they hit your site's first page. Then, it is up to your content (copy, offer, and call-to-action) to take them through the remaining 50%.
