Ever see on television or maybe read about people who will put on a fat suit to make themselves look obese? They were trying to find out what people with that problem were experiencing on a day to day basis.
Needless to say, it was pretty blatant as to how others viewed them. Usually the person doing this was a fairly attractive woman. I remember hearing of this one person who did it was eating a donut somewhere and people were looking at them in disgust!
The same thing applies to all else in life. Maybe it is a family pet or a persons yard. If something or someone looks good, people respond positively to it or them.
Probably not as good an analogy as I was hoping for but, this applies to the internet and your web site as well!
If you have a web site and are trying to attract leads for your business opportunity or home based business, you really must have a good looking web site...one that attracts!
I am no expert in web design. In fact, when it comes to color schemes or placing images on my site, I struggle a lot. What I do know though is what I like. We all have different likes and opinions differ. Making eye candy with your web site though that can please the largest part of your audience is what matters. I think everyone knows content should be of great quality but what really attracts visitors and keeps them on your web site?
It is the visual part of the experience!
Like I said, I am no expert but recently I have seen many grey dark themes on web sites related to SEO (search engine optimization) and network marketing. These things have dark pages with white lettering which is not so great for reading. I do not get it or these sites. It sometimes makes me think of haunted houses.
They might work for certain topics however, SEO and network marketing are not one of them.
Sometimes you will see sites that are "all over the place"! All kinds of colors, images, and ads with possibly a flash header and a ton of flash banners. The compilation of it all makes the site overwhelming or confusing.
It is just my own opinion but I noticed that there are certain sites I like being on. They all shared these details:
White page (where your content is at) with black lettering.
A good looking header that fits the theme. Flash is good if done right.
A good color scheme. There are places on the web that you can find by typing in "web site color schemes" and they provide color wheels that show which colors go with each other.
Sidebars are not completely loaded down and the colors blend in with each other. I am even talking about those flash banners. If you have them or have created them, why place them all next to each other with colors that clash.
Stay away from too much red. Those sites freak me out for some reason.
Video is good! Audio is as well.
Obviously, there are other things involved such as SEO optimization or making your site easy to get around but all in all, you do want your site to look good. As a matter of fact, looks help SEO because some of Googles' algorithms are specific to the stickiness of your visitors in how long do they stay.
Making your site attractive is very important to long term success.
