Posted on by DESMOND K

If you carry out a Net search for designer spectacles, how much time do you figure you might spend searching? Just like many other internet shoppers, we would likely be prepared to browse a few web pages but may only be inclined to spend a few seconds on each page.

The truth is, a landing page has only 10 to 15 seconds to draw a visitor’s attention before the store visitor is lost forever. Love it or hate it, this is the frenetic pace most of us live with these days. Hence, it is important to design your landing page to be as “sticky” as possible.

Appropriate Ecommerce Templates Can Boost Your Web Store’s Earnings?

Posted on by DESMOND K

Has it ever occurred to you why your web store’s bounce rate is so high despite having the best offers online?

The problem could possibly lie in your ecommerce template. Many web store owners do not place enough emphasis on ecommerce templates. They do not recognize that ecommerce templates play a key part in getting a visitor to make a purchase. In all truth there is a science to this. The combination of colors, fonts and placement of elements plays a part in transforming a mere visitor into an individual who would spend money on your products. Obviously, that is exactly what each and every web store owner wants.

First impressions are crucial to drawing a visitor’s curiosity. A site has maybe only 10 seconds to achieve this. Every component on the page has to work perfectly in tandem to make this happen. Every feature on the page has a purpose. Nothing should be there simply for aesthetic purposes alone. If a component isn’t playing a part in helping you close a sale then it should be regarded as a waste of both your time and your customers’.

So how exactly does a store owner pull off such a feat? (more…)

Posted on by DESMOND K

Congratulations! You’ve managed to get visitors to your store. But what’s next?

Obviously,  getting them to buy something would be at the top of the list but there are many factors that need to be put into play before this can happen.

First impressions are important; a typical site visitor has a ‘fickle’ mindset and will decide if a site is worth his time in less than 10 seconds. If a visitor is turned off by a certain component of the landing page, the color for example, then the next course of action for the visitor would be hitting the ‘x’ button at the top right hand corner of the page. So roughly it would take less than a second to lose a potential customer.

So what do colors have to do with the “stickiness” of a site? Keep reading to find out… (more…)
