3 Easy Ways to Make Your Website More Interactive

You have a website, it’s been there for a long time, you get visitors but that’s pretty much it? read on:

So many businesses build a website, only to have it sit there like a brochure, it does not seem to do anything for your business… before we get into a depressing spree, relax, you are not alone and relax, there are simple ways to start getting people to interact with your brand through your website.  Here are some simple ideas you could put to practice virtually in a week’s time if not less:

Add a Contact Us Form

You have no idea how motivating it is to get that email notification from your website telling you that Ahmed, Ali, John or Mireille just left their details for you to contact them.  No I am not talking about a contact us page with your contact information.  I am talking about a form that asks the visitor to fill in some basic details (note basic details, don’t scare them off asking them to give you too much information, they won’t do it!).  No matter what your website technology, your agency, your web developer, or your IT should be able to have a contact us form with email auto-responder up and running in no time for you.

Add Facebook Like or Google +1 Buttons

These are “social sharing” buttons, if your visitors like what they read on your website, make it easy for them to share your content with their own social network, it would increase traffic on your website and makes your website more “modern” and above all, more interactive.  With most Internet users now part of a generation who grew up on Atari (yours truly), Sega, Gameboy, XBox, the Wii, or Playstation, make it fun, they’ll love it.

Add Your Twitter or Blog Feeds

Very cool and easy way to add “freshness” to your website, these increase readership and time spent on your site, and a nice tool to attract attention.  Again this is something your agency or others can easily implement.
