The Key to a Perfect Website (Will Laurenson and Jason Barnard)

January 27, 2023

Will Laurenson talks with Jason Barnard about the key to a perfect website.

Will Laurenson is a customer experience optimisation consultant helping ecommerce brands optimise their customer journeys for conversion and customer value. If you're looking for a better ROI for your marketing spend and higher Customer Lifetime Value, you can connect with him on LinkedIn or Twitter. Will also hosts the Customers Who Click podcast, a weekly interview with leading marketers from across the industry.

Websites play an important role in sales, and when you design a website, you probably first think about what will appeal to your customers. But what if you got that wrong and should focus on how the website works for customers and how it answers their questions and concerns about your products or services, as well as your business. What should you do to achieve a high conversion rate?

In this interesting episode, Will Laurenson explains how to tailor the customer experience to increase a website's conversion rate. He also addresses the impact that text, images, and videos have on the customer experience on the website. In addition, he suggests some top-notch tools you can use to track and analyse your customers' actions while using your website, as well as the main barriers to conversion and how to overcome them.

As always, the show ends with passing the baton…Will passes the virtual baton to next week’s super awesome guest Gert Mellak.
