How To Get An Incomplete Site Finished

If you've been left with an unfinished website or web marketing project, you're not alone. It's estimated that at least half the website projects started never reach completion. And even those that do get hosted are often only partly finished. If you've got an uncompleted job, I'll get your website or project restarted and finished quickly. Then you'll finally be able to start moving toward the goals that led you to start up in the first place. Below you'll find brief descriptions of the more common stages where web projects are abandoned. In each case, I address why it's important to complete the stage and offer links to more information...

Website Design and Graphics

A poorly designed website is bad for business. It pays to finish the job right - even if that means a complete redesign. Website design impacts how your visitors think about you and your products. Do you look professional? Are you user-friendly? Is your navigation clear and helpful? A good design can go a long way toward earning a respected position in the mind of visitors.

Copywriting and Content Creation

Although it should be done early in the process, copy and content are often left to the last. Many unfinished website projects end up with little or nothing written at all! Your sales copy will turn traffic into conversions. It's critical that you have good copy on your site. Content is equally important though for different reasons. Content gets indexed by the search engines, so it's important that it be organized and written to work well with your primary search phrases.

Site Optimizing and Promotion

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) must be completed or you'll get few visitors to your site, if any. SEO helps to get the pages of your site indexed by the search engines for the terms you want to be found for. Your site and each page need to work in concert to provide the search engines with the tags and phrases key to your success. Once optimized, your site needs to be promoted. By becoming more visible, you'll be more likely to earn links from respected sites in your field. Those links relate directly to your importance in the search engine results pages.

Search Advertising and Analytics

Paid search engine advertising will give you the quickest source of traffic. With engines like Google, you can literally get visitors to your site from you ads in just minutes after set up. But cost-effective advertising requires good copywriting, keyword research, and management. If you have an unmanaged ad program or you don't have an ad program at all, it's important to get one started.

Analytics are the measurements of success. By setting up analytics for your site, you can track what works and what doesn't. It's another area that's often overlooked but one that can prove essential to your success at marketing. Learn how to implement Advertising and Analytics programs here.
