| As important as the design and the way a websites | | | | are giving me somewhere else then I am going to go |
| work, another important issue can actually have | | | | there. If visitors leave then they do not get a chance |
| negative results on not only your customers but your | | | | to view your products, but, more importantly they |
| business. Site speed is a very important topic and | | | | will not purchase your products! |
| should not be overlooked when having your website | | | | Site speed can and will lead to either more sales or |
| designed or re-designed. It can actually directly hurt | | | | less sales. Which one it is will determine how |
| your sales and cut into your profits as people do not | | | | successful your website will be but also how long it |
| have the time to sit there and wait for your website | | | | will be around. Also you have to monitor competitors |
| to load. This is something that good sites take | | | | sites to see what their loads time are and try to |
| advantage of only having very small load times and | | | | match them. Start giving their customers a reason to |
| bad sites seem to ignore(because they seem to | | | | come to your website. Combine quick load times with |
| overlook download time without even thinking of site | | | | great products as well as great prices and your sales |
| optimization). | | | | will start to sky rocket. |
| If it takes forever to get into your website as well | | | | Remember to stay away from heavy graphical sites |
| as click through it(meaning it takes forever to load | | | | and try to use more text for area(html text not |
| each page) then people are going to leave your site. | | | | graphic text that is). This will improve performance |
| Remember this. Just think if it takes you 20 minutes | | | | but also will increase the click through rate of people |
| to walk to a grocery store or 5 minutes to walk to | | | | viewing your website. The more pages they view |
| the local market(where you can get everything you | | | | the better your sales will be. Save your visitors alot |
| need) why would you walk that extra 15 minutes? | | | | of download time and this will give them a reason to |
| Simple, you just wouldn't walk that extra 15 minutes | | | | visit your website, look around and will help increase |
| and this is true for a website. If I can get what you | | | | your sales! |
