Recognize WordPress Good Business Websites

Loes Knetsch ©

The word ‘good’ is of course rather vague and subjective. Nevertheless, I will try to give you some sort of definition or requirement list for a good business website.

A business website is good when:

The visitor sees immediately where the site is about
The visitor finds very quickly what he/she is looking for
The visitor is tempted to do something. E.g, search, click, email or buy something
Furthermore, your site should be, of course, trustworthy.
It should have a green padlock in the browser.

Who are you?

It’s very important that you have “an about me” or “an about your company” page. People do like to know who is behind the business you are promoting. Who you are and in which country you live. The internet is a worldwide organization and therefore, this information is crucial to succeeding with your online business.

Where is your website about?

At first entry, it must be perfectly clear where your website is about. What can your visitors expect?

Can they search your website easily?
Is it clear right away?
What do you promote?
Do you have a slogan?
Do you have a logo?

My slogan and logo here say:

Work At Home, The Future Is Yours!

Does your website look trustworthy?

These are all signs of a badly designed website:

Is the website outdated?
Look at the bottom for the copyright date, is this the current year?
Is the website filled with advertising banners?
Do the visitors get bombed by popups?
Do they have loud red flashing ads?
Does the title not fit to the article? (We call that “clickbait” titles)

Good business websites

The images on your website are balanced.
The banners are comfortable.
The information is up-to-date
There are testimonials on the website ( mine are in the footer of this page)

Can you find quickly what you are looking for?

Are there recent posts in the sidebar?
Are there categories?
Is there a search box?

Do you understand why people came to your website?

Are they on your website to inform themselves about the possibilities?
Are they on your website to buy something?
Did they arrive by accident?
Are they on your website to spam you in the comment area?
Which search term is used most frequently?
Check your Google analytics and search console report to find out which search terms are most popular.

Call to action

If you have a business website, you do not just want visitors to come, you like it when they contact you or order something from you. For this, you must seduce your visitor and turn it on to action. So you must have a call to action on every page.

Do you call your visitor to action?
Is it clear to your visitors what to do?
Can they click a “Start here” or a “Create your account today”, or a “Buy this”?

Contact and privacy information

It’s important that you can contact the owner or the company.

Is there an email address or a phone number?
Is there a way to contact the owner?
Can you see in which country the company is located?
When it’s a physical company, is there a road map?
How do they think about your privacy?
Is there a privacy policy attached?
