Create a successful homepage
Are you finding that visitors are not looking deeper into your blog or website? Is your homepage too complex? Help is at hand. In this video we will discover what makes a successful home page.
Good example of a home page
A screen shot of thoushallblog.com
This blog has all the important features at the top of the page including:
- Big RSS button
- Most popular posts
- Reasons to subscribe
To summarise look at methods on how you can improve your blog by using headlines, big RSS buttons to grab blog readers attention. If you ever get stuck for ideas on how to grab people’s attention. Look at a magazine or newspaper as the media are masters of grabbing our attention.
Damn! I keep seeing this awesomely beautiful design everyday.
And it bores me so.
Hey, it’s mine…LOL. Where did you get the inspiration to use ‘thou shall blog’ anyway?
Yes, first impression counts, especially so if you’ve only got 10 seconds to impress.
Thanks, James. Appreciate it anyhow.

Hi Yan,
It is how to the information is displayed. Having a big RSS button, including your top information at the top of the site.
Design helps but it is the ease of use and navigation that is very important.

Hey Dollar Dude,
This is a logical approach to web design.
The information needs to be made clear.

Hi James,
I see that you liked to make more videos. What camera did you use? Are you using a Mino? I like the video, by the way, what did you think about my new home page? besides the few errors that you already know, lol.
I really want to know your opinion. Did you think the site it is slow?
I also have think in removing the 125 ad from money makers and hostings and use only text links, I think this can help to increase the loading speed.
Any more of your suggestions on how to improve my homepage appearance?
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Luis,
The camera is a standard Sony DV camera, nothing expensive it cost about £100 thats $200.
You can use a video camera feature on the digital camera.
Your site loads fine, from where I am. The banners shouldn’t be in the top fold of the site. Unless they are paying you more for the ads closer to the top.
Have your important messages above the fold.But promote your blog first before anyone else.
For a more detailed review, aim to win the 30 minute consultation and I’ll tell you more.
