Keep Your Condo Website Popular And Confirm It Works Smoothly

By Cindy Lin


Wouldn't it be great if some sort of brilliant 'web guru' would simply show up on your doorstep and explain the insider do's and dont's of running a successful condominium information site? We can't really do that, but we have something better. We've gathered the advice of a number of people running successful websites right now that you can learn from.

Follow your competitors. Whether it be on competing sites, through articles or even sites such as LinkedIn. It is important to know who your competitors are so that you can stay on top. For example, if you run an entertainment site, you want to keep abreast of other sites and what they post to increase their page views. If they have a LinkedIn site, follow their LinkedIn page to find out who they are hiring and what updates they have.

Even the most beautiful pages will be ignored if they are slow to load. Keeping pages shorter will assist load time and advance the user experience. Breaking up large pieces of content over two or three pages is a great idea.

You won't be able to please everyone with your site, so don't try. What you should focus on is catering to your target audience, and keeping the experience most appealing to them so they will return. Make sure to research other sites with similar goals as yours so you're sure to include everything your guest will expect to see, giving them a comfortable, fulfilling environment in which to carry out their business.

Demonstrate your credentials to establish authority in your niche. Don't be shy about posting any accolades, awards, or other credits to your name. People want to know that they person they are dealing with is well qualified in whatever field is at hand.

Email lists are an asset to every condominium information site because it's a way in getting in direct contact with your users. Try to entice them into giving you their email by filling out contact forms in exchange for free content. This could be in the form of a free eBook or webinar, which could even impress your visitors with your cleverness.

Adding a socialization facility to your condominium information site will make it more appealing. You can allow socializing in various ways such as allowing users to share their identity, personal information, pictures, opinions, etc. This could make your website addicting and users would be revisiting your site frequently. Adding a social networking opportunity on your site is wise since people tend to use websites more for socialization.

Ever since the iPhone became a huge hit, apps have also. iPhone is arguably the most popular smartphone around, which have also made the use of apps that much more popular. By creating an iPhone app, you can use the people relying heavily on apps to consume their content to your advantage. If you can display the content of your condominium information site on peoples' iPhones, it will not only get your current readers the comfort to read your work on their iPhones, but you could draw in new readers to do that also.
