Make your website work for you! It's generally understood that a website is an important piece of your business arsenal. It's a website after all. However, many businesses are still not getting the most out of their website. If you're not using your website as an effective sales tool - then it's time to make some changes and start driving traffic (and revenue) your way.

If you're planning on building a website, the first thing to do is take time out of your busy schedule and brainstorm all of the ways that you can make your website work for you. If you already have a website, spend some time doing a deep dive on your layout and content. Exercise that brain and get creative.

Will you have an online store? Will you offer a blog where customers and prospects can leave comments and ask questions? These are just two examples of things that could be on the list - the key is to think about all of the ways that your website could be used as a tool for building your business.

Make a list of all website features that you could use to your advantage. Be creative and think outside the box! Don't limit yourself by thinking "I need to have a website so it has to look like every other website." You do NOT  have to have a website that looks like every other website.

What are your website visitors looking for? What kind of website is going to keep them interested and coming back for more? You are going to have to do a little market research here. Don't just rely on your customers and website visitors - talk to friends, the people who work at the grocery store. Ask everyone that you can how they feel about website and what they are looking for.

Once you have your brainstorming list of website features - you can start to prioritize which website features you want to work on first. It's not a good idea to try and tackle them all at once. Start with one website feature and get your site working for you as quickly as possible.

No Limits!

There are no limitations on what you can accomplish with your website, but you have to take specific steps in order for it to function as the powerful sales tool that it should be.

Once you've spent some time thinking about all of the ways that your website could work for you, it's time to put action behind those thoughts.

Once you've made a list of all the ways that your website could work for you, get to work implementing those ideas!

You might need some website design help if you're feeling overwhelmed by all of this website talk. There are plenty of web designers out there who will be happy to help, so don't hesitate to ask for what you need.

Take some time to make sure that the website is easy to navigate from top to bottom, and that it offers ease of use in each section that it contains.  Don't just think about the website as a whole - think about each individual page, and how you can make these pages work for you.

Think of your website like a tool chest that you've stocked with all of the tools that you could need to get ahead in business. The website is only going to work if it's being used properly. You have to use those website tools if you want them to work!

If your website is getting a lot of traffic but not very many sales, then it might simply be time to add some website content that is designed specifically to convert visitors into paying customers.

Nobody wants to go through a website and feel like they have to work just to find information. Nobody is going to buy your product if they feel like you've made it difficult for them, so focus on making it as easy as possible for website visitors to find exactly what they are looking for.

Remember the goal is to make your website work for you.
