Web Design, increase your usability

It is easy to make a dorky web page. It’s also easy to make a very nice, clean, professional-looking web page even if you don’t have much design experience. Often the difference, even for beginning designers, is simply a matter of eliminating certain features that are guaranteed to make a page look amateurish. I’ve been going through the list of things that people – designers and non-designers – from around the country have cited as the things that make the difference between a well-designed and a poorly designed web page.

Here’s a list of ten additional design elements that will increase the usability of virtually all sites:

  1. Place your name and logo on every page and make the logo a link to the home page (except on the home page itself, where the logo should not be a link: never have a link that points right back to the current page).
  2. Provide search if the site has more than 100 pages.
  3. Write straightforward and simple headlines and page titles that clearly explain what the page is about and that will make sense when read out-of-context in a search engine results listing.
  4. Structure the page to facilitate scanning and help users ignore large chunks of the page in a single glance: for example, use grouping and subheadings to break a long list into several smaller units.
  5. Instead of cramming everything about a product or topic into a single, infinite page, use hypertext to structure the content space into a starting page that provides an overview and several secondary pages that each focus on a specific topic. The goal is to allow users to avoid wasting time on those subtopics that don’t concern them.
  6. Use product photos, but avoid cluttered and bloated product family pages with lots of photos. Instead have a small photo on each of the individual product pages and link the photo to one or more bigger ones that show as much detail as users need. This varies depending on type of product. Some products may even need zoomable or rotatable photos, but reserve all such advanced features for the secondary pages. The primary product page must be fast and should be limited to a thumbnail shot.
  7. Use relevance-enhanced image reduction when preparing small photos and images: instead of simply resizing the original image to a tiny and unreadable thumbnail, zoom in on the most relevant detail and use a combination of cropping and resizing.
  8. Use link titles to provide users with a preview of where each link will take them, before they have clicked on it.
  9. Ensure that all important pages are accessible for users with disabilities, especially blind users.
  10. Do the same as everybody else: if most big websites do something in a certain way, then follow along since users will expect things to work the same on your site. Remember Jakob’s Law of the Web User Experience: users spend most of their time on other sites, so that’s where they form their expectations for how the Web works.

In multilevel marketing regardless of the company you might be with the ONLY means to success is through duplication. Without duplication you cannot grow a prosperous downline and earn constant residual income every single month.

Duplication is where you find a business builder and train them to do something comparable to what you are executing to accomplish the identical results. Please note carefully, I did not say train them to do what you are doing to achieve success, but whatever it takes to reach the identical results or the identical target.

Say as an illustration your compensation plan necessitates you to develop 20 distributors wide on your first level so that you will have plenty of people to cooperate with and that it can be profitable sufficiently to make the downline financially rewarding. When it comes to achieving duplication over achieving is definitely far better, safer and a great deal more profitable. Over accomplishing is additionally more stable on a month to month time frame.

Trying to keep in mind that dreamers will get into your home business opportunity, work hard and duplicate, and complainers do nothing at all and thus get absolutely nothing you will need to find the dreamers in your downline. When you find a person that gets it, and realizes that they could be something other than their current circumstances requires that you will need to teach them three things. These three items are going to be more than enough and they will drive duplication and expansion indefinitely.

  1. Determine what you want and why you want it, and then make sure that you are sure you really do want it.
  2. Decide what you will be willing to give up too get it.
  3. Allocate 5 to 10 hours per week to work and set a date to achieve the goal.

Once you have done this, you can make clear that with your company, the compensation plan rewards a sense of balance between retail sales and new distributor sponsoring growth so that although they are looking for distributors they should find 10 retail customers and service them each month.

Duplication is very simple if people have a work plan of 5 to 10 hours weekly, goal and an plan of action. Focusing on locating the 20 distributors and servicing 10 retail customers a month will force network marketing duplication that nobody can stop.
