You may think that having a website that brings in a lot of traffic is always going to be the best bet. What you don't realize is that just because you have a lot of traffic to your site doesn't mean that you are going to be able to get those people to buy anything. Plus, getting a great website is difficult because everyone has different opinions on what is going to work best (and what is not going to work at all). You should be looking for a website that is designed to get results, not just bring in a lot of people to your site.

The first thing to do is to write down the answer to the question "what results do you want?". For example, you may want more traffic, to get people to buy your product, to get your company's name out there or to make money through selling advertising on your site. Once you know what you want, you are going to be best able to design your website to achieve these goals.

After you know what you want, you want to take these goals to a web designer. Sure, if you are absolutely certain that you know what you are doing you can design your website yourself. Having a professional do it is going to make sure that you get the results that you are looking for and is going to help you to gain rankings in the search engine results faster. You definitely don't want to ignore search engine optimization at this point.

Remember that you don't need a lot of bells and whistles to have a great site. A simple website means that you are going to be able to change it without help whenever you want to. It's important to periodically change your website because a website that sits stagnant for too long is going to start losing rankings on the search engine results page.

Finally, make sure to keep track of your results. When you incorporate some of these smart web design tips, you should start to see results after a couple of months. If you find that you don't notice any improvements, try a couple more changes until things start to improve. Don't worry; soon you are going to have a great website.

When you are planning how your website should be, remember that you should plan it to get results, not just people to click on it. Sure, web traffic is important, but if the majority of surfers only stay for a couple of seconds, it isn't going to matter too much that you have a lot of them coming. By focusing on results, you are going to boost your profits and allow your business to grow. - 2364
