Unless your website is easy to navigate around and find information on, you may be left with confused visitors not interested in buying from you.

If you are in the process of designing or re-building your site, following these basic steps will greatly enhance your website usability.

One Page One Purpose

You’re not publishing a book so you don’t have to worry about using extra paper! It’s therefore better to create extra pages than to cram information on one page.

Keep every page unique to a sole purpose – this will help to create clarity for the reader and if all the pages are indexed on a well-designed menu then the relevant information will be easy to find; there’s nothing worse than having to scroll through irrelevant information to find what you need.

Also keep reader options on any given page to a minimum – too much choice

  1. First let me thank you chris on the post it was simple yet to the point. I have been working on the same thing which you outlined in this post that is one post one purpose and its slightly increasing conversions on my blog. And i get a lot of comments on my blog than usual.

  2. Sometimes, interactivity and movement dictate the success of your website. I also find compartmentalizing all the tags, categories and titles fun - it's like organizing your own virtual library.
