Well, I’ve come to find out that simple, minimalistic sites work much better these days. I guess people got bored of pretentious graphics and shiny pages and wanna go back to the simplicity the web once offered.

Content is king of course but overwhelming websites send people away these days nonetheless.

Too many ads, too many media will do the trick too.

Just keep it simple and provide your visitors with quality. It should be enough.

Too much video or audio. Audio that switches on automatically annoys everyone! Using video sparingly like we have done on our cleaning business consulting website really adds value and keeps people on your website, but do not over do it. Here is an example of good use of video - http://www.start-cleaning-business.com/about-our-ebooks2.html

Gail, how about introducing an interactive design tool on your site, similar to what Sears or Home Depot do on their sites? This would enable your site visitors to play around with different designs prior to talking ‘live’ with you, thus perhaps making your initial discussions more productive?

Or, you could introduce an “Ask the Designer” or “Ask the Expert” section on your site. This has the duel benefit of enabling engagement while also reinforcing your identity as an expert.

Another idea would be to enable your site visitors to upload scanned drawings through your site. You could promise them a high-level quick assessment within 48 hours or something along those lines.

You could also offer a 5-10 page Guide, downloadable from your site, helping first timers learn the steps in designing a new home. Require that they complete a form with their contact information, so that you can follow up with them.

Hope that this ideas are helpful.

Tom, thanks for giving me something more to think about. without a full staff to keep everything running I sometimes feel as if I flutter from project to project and need to be reminded to slow down in order to catch up.

I have been giving thought to your comments on “empowering your site visitors to get involved in the design process. This jump starts their imagination, hopes and dreams.”

This is easy to do in a one on one basis with a client in person or even on the phone, they make a suggestion we draw and show their ideas either in person or via pdf files, but I’m racking my head trying to come up with a website layout process “to introduce engagement into our website — especially around empowering our site visitors to get involved in the design process”.

Any additional ideas would be greatly appreciated. As it is I spend un-told hours trying to “viral” market, just to keep our name in the fore front, but I have to say the hours are numerous and I can see why you would need an employee just for that, unless of course my approach is all wrong.
