Here are some key factors to consider when crafting your website content:
Strong Message
Your website content should have a clear and concise message that effectively communicates your brand’s values, mission, and goals. A strong message helps build trust and credibility with your audience.
Audience Understanding
Understanding your target audience is crucial to creating content that resonates with them. Conduct research and gather data about your audience’s demographics, interests, and pain points to tailor your message to their needs.
User Experience
Your website’s user experience should be smooth and intuitive. Ensure that your content is easy to navigate and visually appealing to keep users engaged.
Unique and Relevant
Your website content should be unique and relevant to your audience. Use storytelling techniques to make your content more interesting and memorable.
Read Beth’s about page and see what you think. After reading that, no doubt any website visitor looking for and IBS specialist wouldn’t hesitate to book in immediately.
As practitioners, sharing that kind of personal info can put us on doggy ground. Some of us won’t want to share too much personal information (for personal reasons and it’s advised by your profession that you don’t). Find your unique way around this. A dry and bland ‘about page’ with only your credential, might not entice the website reader enough to call you!
Tone of Voice
Your tone of voice should be consistent with your brand’s personality and values. Choose a tone that resonates with your audience and use it consistently throughout your content. As a wellbeing practitioner, your ‘voice’ really wants to ring in your potential clients ears.
Formatting and visuals to keep pages engaging
This page you’re reading, although it has headings and broken up paragraphs, it’s a great example of a page that is NOT engaging.
Format your content in a way that makes it easy to read and digest. Use headings, bullet points, and visuals like images and videos to break up large blocks of text and keep users engaged.
