How Web Design Differs For Sponsored Links Webpages

Posted in Web Development & Design by Click Consult on 26th of September, 2008

With web design and web development you should always consider your internet marketing efforts. While many websites (including those here at Click Consult) are specially designed to achieve good rankings and to get a listings boost from day one, may web designers neglect to remember what makes landing pages for sponsored links work. Such webpages have a clear layout that works time and time again and, in conjunction with the client, a web design team should know where most sponsored links traffic will be directed to and tailor these pages accordingly. The golden rule with these pages is less is more. You need to give people the sales pitch. Make it clear what the page is about with a clear heading in an extra large font, lay out your USPs very clearly, provide a concise call to action and follow that up with whatever action you want from the visitor, whether that be a sale, a completed enquiry form, a brochure download or even a phone call. As with any other part of the website, however, you still need to make these pages look slick, corporate and professional. When a person discovers a website for the first time, the first few seconds are crucial. It must look impressive enough to grab your attention. Anything that looks clunky or basic will never encourage people to stay long, let alone buy anything from the website. Thats not to say that the way a website looks is the only important consideration. Always remember to check spelling punctuation and grammar on every webpage. I cannot tell you how many colourful, modern and fantastic looking websites I have seen that have sentences that dont make sense or words spelt incorrectly because no one has taken the time to proof read the content. They have only been concerned with the appearance of the website.
