Inspire Action

You get 8 seconds to help someone understand who you are and what you do.

Sounds like a crazy internet challenge, but the reality is that you attempt to complete this challenge every time someone new lands on your website. (Studies have determined this is the average time it takes for people to decide if they will stay on a website or not)

Are you making the most of those 8 seconds? If you succeed and persuade them to stay longer, is your website able to engage them and inspire them to act?

Your website must be an intentional experience, specifically crafted to help your audience engage quickly while providing the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of who you are and the work you do.

Creating Audience Focused Websites

While your website can be full of information about you, how that information is organized and delivered on your website needs to be carefully chosen and crafted with your specific audience in mind.

We will create a website that will inspire your audience to act by starting with the right questions:

R
Who is your audience?
R
What do you want your audience to do?
R
What questions does your audience need answered before they can act?

Engaging your audience quickly is important, but that doesn’t mean your site will be light on information.

 

Your website is the best place to integrate your brand message with compelling visual media that leads your audience on a journey to discover the deeper parts of who you are, what you do, and how you do it.

 

At each step your audience will understand a simple part of your brand and be interested in discovering more.

Potential Pitfalls Preventing Action

R
Confusion – Confusion kills curiosity. If your message is unclear or your website offers too much information too quickly your audience will become confused and leave.

R
Lack of depth – When your audience comes to your website looking for additional information and doesn’t find what they want, they are unlikely to take action.

Ultimately, while your website is about you, the message on the site needs to resonate with your audience, people outside your organization.

Understanding who your donors are, what they believe, what information they want, and what language resonates with them are important factors in how we design your website.
