A lot of media criticisms raised corporate website, the majority view that the site features simple, content-poor, thousands of network side, outdated information, etc., these may be common to most small Web site problems. In fact, if you browse a number of corporate website carefully, you will find some of the more interesting, and some websites about the comprehensive nature of the services into web of life, both train schedules, another quiz with prizes, entertainment and so on, the surface to site content is rich enough, yet real and core business-related content has become a supporting role. Into such a corporate website, and at times makes sense to produce a wrong door, do not know the purpose of corporate websites, in addition to show business, "strength", the revealing of the most important information is probably naive.
Users need basic information
After all, a professional corporate website is different from the ICP, or portal, can not and does not need small but complete, each company has its own specific products / services, website content should focus on their core business settings. Corporate website should not be just a decoration the site is the most useful marketing tool. Of course, the only information on the site to meet user needs under the premise of the site's marketing function can really play. What the user needs information?
First of all, this is the site planners to consider, we must first analyze what visitors could then design relevant content targeted, so as to be targeted. In general, business website visitors with a few major categories, namely: direct users, dealers, and equipment and raw materials suppliers, competitors and so on. Two types of visitors before the company's current and potential users, is also the site content should be focused to meet the target. As for the suppliers, except those with B TO B features integrated e-commerce sites, the majority of enterprises based on information released little attention to the site, therefore, not a general corporate Web site's main focus. As for competitors, visitors, their goal is to understand the new trends in your company, or the level of website design, if there is a reference place, which, in publishing the content should be given appropriate "preparedness", rather than competitors rewarding experience.
Since the company's current and potential users of the site's focus is to take care of the object, then we must seriously analyze what information they need. A TV production company as an example, a user / potential user access to a corporate web site there are several general purpose: to see what new products, comparing products of different specifications of performance and price, and other brands of similar products are compared, check local vendors and warranty address, etc., if you can order online, various vendors also want to know and related information such as order form payment methods, delivery times and returned goods policy. Therefore, these elements should be a focus of the site.
Speaking so simple, it seems that the truth is clear, however, many Web content designed to "wander off" phenomenon has always occurred. Even in the more advanced e-commerce has been the United States, corporate website design is also very obvious unreasonable conditions, in India, and perhaps even seem surprising.
