How to Build a Better Contact Page

When people want to contact a company, they often turn to its website contact page for answers. They expect to be presented the opportunity to reach an actual person at the business in some sort of meaningful way. Sometimes though they are left disappointed.

Every good contact page should build two things between the customer visiting and the company: confidence and trust. Confidence that the company values individual customer needs and trust that their questions or concerns will be addressed. Put quite simply if you fail to respond to a customer’s need, you have more than likely lost their business as well.

Keep these tips in mind when creating your website’s contact page:

– Contact forms should be easy to fill out and submit. Include fewer form fields but make sure to ask the right specific questions to be able to prepare the follow-up with them. Do not make them complete a profile unless absolutely necessary.

– Include a map so visitors can use an app such as Google Maps to locate where you are.

– List your phone number so those that need immediate answers can reach you. Also, include business hours so they know before they call whether or not someone is there to answer the phone.

– Design for mobile to make the contact page easy to use whichever way your visitors choose to access it. Keep forms simple to fill out eliminating the unnecessary.

– Link to your FAQ’s page. Many questions customers have are ones you have come across before. Including a link to your FAQ’s page can be a great way to give them the answers they need right away.

When designing your contact page, make sure it fits with the rest of your website. Again you want to build confidence and trust with them; using a sterile, generic page is a missed opportunity to build on the brand message. For help in creating a better contact page consider partnering with the team at GMS. We help customers throughout the Chicago area design the professional website they need to grow their business and brand.

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.
