The Top 5 Elements Every Website Should Have In today’s digital world, small businesses thrive on having a website that stands out and adequately represents their brand to potential and established customers. Your online presence not only makes your brand identifiable but separates you from the competition. What exactly will help you achieve a successful website? Here are the top 5 elements every website should have: A Professionally Designed Logo: Your logo is your brand’s identity and what will grab your customer’s attention. It’s essential to have a logo that is easy to read, memorable, and well designed. Keep in mind when choosing the theme and colors of your logo that your website should match. A Custom Domain Name: We recommend getting a domain name that matches your business’s brand for your website. A custom domain will help boost your SEO, make your website credible, and make it easy for customers to find your website online. Lead Generating Option: New customers need to stay in the loop regarding your small business, whether it’s for general updates or upcoming promotions. Adding a pop-up sign-up form to your website can help you build up your contacts organically and keep lifelong, happy customers. Quality Content: The content written for your website should have a purpose, be unique, and have a writing style that appeals to your target audience. A great place to start is researching your direct competitors and coming up with ways your business is different and why your customers should choose you! Contact Information: Being accessible to your customers and providing direct contact information like a phone number, email address, or a contact form on your website is a must. Providing outstanding customer service helps build trust and brand loyalty with your customers. Does your website have these elements? Is there anything we haven't listed you think should be represented? Let us know below!

@SDInspector I apologize the previous response you received was not what you were looking for. A great way to get started with getting new contacts is adding a sign up form to your website and Facebook page. If you would like to further brainstorm with a professional, you can sign up for a consultation with any of our professional services that are available. The first step is deciding how much work you want or rather do not want to do. A Marketing Advisor can certainly speak to you regarding growing your list and attracting new prospects by walking you through the steps they recommend. If you are looking for someone to do the work of growing your list for you, then either the Personal Marketer or Full Service would be a good fit for you. All services provide a consultation to speak with an expert and go over your goals. I hope this helps, thank you!

@ChristineT090 Thank you for your response! At this time our Website Builder does not have a true "Under Construction Page" option. There are some workarounds you can try in the meantime! These solutions include: -Deleting all of the additional pages (outside of home page) under your "Navigation Management." -Deleting all sections on the site besides the "Header" section. -Disabling all additional fields on the right hand side of the editor (Logo, Call-To-Action Button, Subtitle, etc.). -Changing text on site to "Under Construction." I hope one of these workarounds help. If you need any assistance with accomplishing any of these workarounds, feel free to contact our Website Support team!

If you would prefer your content to be written for you, our Full Service would be the best option for you. Both services start out with a consultation call to make sure the service is a good fit for you. After that, you can decide how you would like to continue conversing, whether that is through phone calls or emails. You can find the cost to both services by clicking here and you can sign up for a consultation with an expert! Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a wonderful day!

@KristiM5 Great, I'm glad to hear your video thumbnail now works! If any other issues come up, definitely don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Enjoy your Monday!

Taryn_L · ‎02-19-2018

@KristiM5 Thank you for reaching out to the Community. That is a great question! I'm sorry to hear your video thumbnail is not populating as it should be, but I do have a work around for you. Instead of copying the full URL at the top of the page, click where it says Share at the bottom right corner below your video, and copy the short URL link. Usually when you add that to your email, the thumbnail will generate for you. If that does not work for you, please email us at social_support(at)constantcontact(dot)com with your username, the email campaign name, the Youtube video URL, and a reference to this post and I would be happy to take a look into this!
