COMMON MARKETING MISTAKES |
| |
 EVERY WEBPAGE IS A POTENTIAL LANDING PAGE. This means that individual pages should be designed to be effective at getting surfers to do what you would like. When people search the web they are generally looking for a very specific answer to a problem they have to solve, so from a business standpoint, it is an opportunity to solve their problem and make a sale. A sincere business does not monkey with peoples time nor patience. Given that attention spans on webpages is fleeting as a shooting star, respect your enterprise and the potential customer with the best information design practices.
