4 Steps to a Better Home Page

We all know that a strong website is one of the key components of a valuable online marketing campaign. What we tend to forget though is the important role the site\’s home page has to its overall success. If your home page isn\’t making the impact you were expecting it may be time to reexamine its effectiveness.

To increase the quality of your home page, follow these four steps:
Step 1. Centered Purpose
The first step in making sure your home page is the best it can be is to examine its overall theme. How centered is the page on the purpose of the website? Find the central focus of your site to determine the structure and message of the home page.

Step 2. Appealing Layout
An appealing layout will attract others to your site and make them more likely to stay on it for longer. While there are many options for layouts, there are a few key features that are relevant to any type of format you choose. They include: clutter-free pages, easy navigation, varying fonts highlighting main points, and a stellar color scheme.

Step 3. Capture the Money Shot
What is the one thing on your home page that makes it stand out from the rest? That attention-grabber is your money shot and, if your site is lacking one, than you may loosing many of the precious visitors that land on your home page. A good quote, a memorable tag line, or a great photo can all make the page more appealing.

Step 4. Decrease Load Time
Finally, it is important to look at the logistical side of the equation. Slow loading speed can be a killer for any site looking to improve their bounce rate numbers. Even if your site loads at a fairly decent speed, a quicker time can only make your home page more effective.

Assisting your business in increasing the success of the website, Grand Marketing Solutions can help decrease your load times, craft an appealing layout, and make your site easier to navigate. Our team of developers offers a wide range of services all designed to make your company enjoy more traffic online.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
