6 best practices for B2B sites

1. Mix Gated and Non-Gated Content.

  • Quality content is key to make visitors more sticky.
  • By the visitor giving up something (maybe email, comments, etc.) they can have access to more information.
  • Don't forget to still implement idea of "try before you buy" by tantalizing them with a taste of what could be if they just provide some information, comments, etc..

2. Track Everything.

  • Know where your traffic comes, what visitors are doing on your website, and who they are.
  • In our case, track who comments, how good their comments are, etc.

3. Make It Easy to Make a Sale.

  • Make it easy for visitors to speak with someone, make comments, and share with others.

4. Be Bold in Visuals and Copy.

  • Use "big, bold visuals that bring your brand to life."
    • What are good visuals for our purposes?
  • Also make sure to lead with your value (headlines for each page instead of descriptions).

5. Go Mobile.

  • Work across all platforms and devices.
  • Create an app for our project.

6. Let Your Clients Tell Your Story.

  • Client testimonials and case studies.
  • Show how website has helped others in the past (i.e. well-edited websites before and after).
  • Make sure to highlight good testimonials by making them front and center.
