Businesses use their websites to generate leads, and in today’s world this has become the most effective form of communication. More and more business owners do not take advantage of using the internet and having a website. Often, small, newer businesses survive on referrals solely; however having a strong marketable website is critical to generating and communicating with customers.
When building your website to better customer communication, it is a good idea to consider the following:
• Having a call to action with a contact form; some type of communication even if it is dealing with live chat.
• Will the site just be a brochure site, with information about your products and services?
• Will your site be more interactive with regularly updated information and communication with customers?
• Will you sell your products and services through the website?
• What is your long-term goal for the site?
• It is a good idea to hold a workshop with customers and colleagues to find out what they want your website to do.
• In planning a site you need to know what sort of information the customer wants, what product information they want, if an online shopping feature is popular, and how the customer likes to interact with you, the business owner.

A good website needs to have a dynamic design in order to communicate with customers. The design needs to be appealing to the eye. It also needs to be user-friendly and over-all mobile friendly. It should captivate the user so they want to stay on the website longer, thus making the bounce rate decrease, which is extremely important for the website’s credibility.
In addition, a good website should have interesting and relevant content. What are readers interested in? What grips about the business grips the reader? A blog is a great way to add interest to the business, and interactive blogs are great because they allow for comments which are a great place to start a conversation to start about the business. Likewise, inbound marketing, such as guest blogging is extremely useful as it adds variety to the webpage.
Communication is key when it comes to a business, and in the modern world, the best way to communicate is through an exciting and intelligent website packed with knowledgeable and viable content. The more educated web content that is displayed on the website the better. In order for a business of any size to be successful, a business should invest in a website rich in inbound marketing, blogs, and web content.
