10 tips to increase your online credibility
You want your customers to know that you understand them, that you have the knowledge and experience to help them fulfill their needs. If your web site is the first interaction customers have with your business then their perception is completely based on your web site. So, how do you make sure your web site increases your credibility?
1. Have your site professionally designed
Research has proven that customers are more likely to believe web sites that looked professionally designed to the subject matter.
2. Put the information that's most important up front
Anticipate their needs and help them by addressing how you may be of assistance and why they should trust you.
3. Organize your site in a way that makes sense
Guide them through the information-gathering and decision-making that they may typically have in buying your product/service.
4. Make it easy for your customers to navigate
If they have to guess what to do next, they'll probably get frustrated and move on.
5. Avoid the industry jargon
Customers will feel more comfortable with your business if you speak their language. If there are terms that you have to use, try to explain them in everyday language.

6. Eliminate spelling and grammatical errors
