11 Ways to Deter Traffic from Your Website
Why Web Users Are So Impatient
Imagine watching a Toronto Raptors game where the fastest player, T.J. Ford, charges down the court with such speed that he loses control, accidentally flings a pass over a teammate's head, and ends up in the lap of a spectator. This scenario, while entertaining, demonstrates why speed without direction can be detrimental?"not only in sports but also in web design.
Slow Down Your Visitors
Website visitors often browse like Ford?"fast and sometimes out of control, eager to find what they need as quickly as possible. However, the goal should not be to speed up their experience, but to slow them down enough to engage with your content.
Many believe that short attention spans are to blame, but the real issue is websites wasting users' time. If your site delivers a meaningful message, visitors will take the time to absorb it.
Catering to the Right Audience
You won't satisfy those who refuse to wait more than eight seconds for a page to load, so don't design your site for them. Focus on those who are genuinely interested and willing to spend a bit of time to understand your offerings.
The Real Reason for Impatience
Many websites prioritize company objectives over audience needs, prompting visitors to leave prematurely. Here's how to avoid making these common mistakes:
1. Overwhelming Visitors with Options
Too many choices lead to decision paralysis. Focus on guiding visitors towards your core message rather than presenting a long list of everything you offer.
2. Bombarding with Excess Information
Too much information can be as confusing as too many choices. Provide relevant details that assist in decision-making rather than overwhelming users.
3. Sharing Non-relevant Content
Ensure all content serves your primary purpose: communicating your marketing message effectively. If it doesn't, remove it.
4. Adding Unnecessary Distractions
Avoid third-party ads and superfluous content that distracts from your site's purpose. Keep users focused on the information they need.
5. Raising Red Flags
Lack of contact information can deter trust. Build a relationship with your audience by being transparent and accessible.
6. Creating Decision Fatigue
Don't overwhelm visitors with decisions. Simplify the process by providing clear, concise choices.
7. Setting Stumbling Blocks
Avoid unnecessary hurdles, such as hiding prices or presenting complex legal jargon, which can frustrate users.
8. Requiring Intrusive Forms
Special offers shouldn't come with strings attached that demand extensive surveys or questionnaires.
9. Designing Incoherent Layouts
An aesthetically pleasing and well-organized design improves user experience, guiding visitors easily to relevant information.
10. Giving Confusing Instructions
Ensure clarity in how your product works or how to complete a purchase. Confusion leads to frustration and exits.
11. Providing Reasons to Leave
Avoid offering irrelevant links or endorsing other sites. Focus on keeping visitors engaged with your content.
By addressing these points, you can create a website that retains visitors and fosters meaningful interactions rather than driving them away.
