Amen sister! I tell clients that all the time. You are so on point with this post. The old adage is true #PrettyIsAsPrettyDoes because, if it doesnt make $ it doesnt make sense;)

Thanks for your feedback, Ladies!  Having a visually appealing site is important to make a good first impression and engage; however, it is not what makes people buy your products and services.  You need to clearly and concisely let them know what problem you can solve for them, why they should choose you over your competitors and invite them to take the next step.

I have always loved the subject header of this discussion - it reminds me of an article I recently shared on SistaSense entitled - Creating a Web Business: The One Thing that Matters More than Looks (read here). Newbie entrepreneurs need to understand they are in business to make money not to feel good about developing a pretty website - the heart of really making money online is having quality products to sell and knowing how to marketing/sell them.

Thanks for the blog.  Valuable content is key to blogging success.  I recently heard someone recommend visiting your own website or blog as if you were a visitor (and not the site owner).  Doing so may help to lower your defenses and allow you to experience what visitors do when they visit your site for the first time.  Having repeat visitors can be a sign of a good website as well.  Check your website stats to what percentage of people bookmark your site or come in directly thru the URL (a sign they may have remembered or bookmarked your website).

 

Best!
