Use Colors to Influence Action in Your Website

Use Colors to Influence Action in Your Website

Color plays a critically important subliminal role on your website. For
example, green is often referred to as a "concentration" or "harmony" color.
On long-copy sales pages that feature a lot of text (where website
conversion increases the longer they read), use of a green border,
highlights, or background could be a very good move.

However, take care to note the nuances between meanings in different shades
of the same color. For instance, in some sources, dark green is seen as a
money color, while only the standard Kelly green would be the concentration
color. Sometimes, the effects you want can be interchangeable between color
shades, but not always.

You can use color to your advantage, to make your website visitors feel
energized, relaxed, focused, scared, angry, more prepared to buy - almost
any effect you can think of. The important thing to note when attempting to
increase website conversion in this way, however, is to use colors that
contrast enough to prevent parts of your website from becoming invisible for
color-blind users.

Color blindness is definitely a consideration when using this website
conversion tip. When designing with this disability in mind, you should
avoid green because the most common type of color-blindness (99 percent) is
the red/green deficiency.

Colors. It offers interesting details on how color can influence.

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above
