It’s really amazing to know all of the different ways your website can be modified and that each modification can seriously affect your desirability. I am a long time fan of Glenn Livingston Phd/Internet Marketer, who said most people don’t think about the fact they could be “unselling” their customers. It’s so true! Thanks for this write up.

Most people think theri site is awesome no matter what…big mistake. You are marketing to an audience! You have to give them what THEY want. I can’t tell you haow many times I have gotten into it with clients that think they know how a site is supposed to look to get them more customers. It’s like they don’t get it. Its all about the customer, not the bosses ego. They all find out the hard way!

Normally these are people whose ggrandpappy started the biz and handed them the keys so they could run it straight into the ditch.

Thanks for this. People need to see it!!

Thanks for your contribution here: really enjoyed reading it.

Good points. People have notoriously short attention spans and won’t put up with slow. They will move on to other things that are important. You have to be careful about this if you have a blog or website. Cheers.

Many of us are guilty of closing a website when it take a lot of time loading or buffering. Well, I won’t deny it, I’m of those people. It is also necessary to consider the design of your website. Mind if I add this , choose the appropriate colors that is pleasant to the eyes of the readers. Anyway, great article Jerod. 🙂

In reply to John.

I completely agree. If people don’t go to your site due to speed, you are missing out on potential money you could be making.

It’s crazy how important speed is.

In my experience with niche websites, the main 2 factors affecting bounce rate are speed and design with too much ads (before any content). Honestly, speed thing can be solved by reducing a number of images on the website or with hosting solutions. The main problem is the positioning of your ads. If they are shown on the website before any content or useful information, then readers will leave it immediately at a first glance. That is why Google added this element to its algorithm some times ago.

Very wise advice.

There have been numerous times when I stop at a website and look at the typography they are using and clicked back with disgust.

It really surprises me when I see people’s choices for the typography they use. I don’t think it’s a hard decision to make, but people seem to have difficulty with it.

In relation to site loading time, I completely agree. I recently had some website loading issues, and I immediately dealt with the situation because I know that if I go on a site that takes longer than a couple seconds to load, there’s no way I’m going to read what’s on the website.

Lovely post.

Very true about the cost-ineffectiveness, as well as major safety concerns over time. Not only will braking be less efficient, but the wear on the insides of the hubs will make quick stops much less quick…
