For a remarkable about page, all you need to do is figure out your company's unique identity, and then share it with the world. Easy, right? Of course it's not easy.

But it can be accomplished. In fact, there are some companies out there with remarkable "About Us" pages, and there are elements of them that you can emulate on your own website. By the end of this post, showing off how your company's greatness won't seem like such a challenging feat....

There are two main reasons people utilize the web: to share things and to be informed. Sure, we could pick up a newspaper or switch on the television, but I’d argue that it’s much easier to whip out your phone or laptop to find info. The wonderful thing about the web is that you’re never alone. No matter your interests, there’s probably a group of like-minded individuals who have made your interests available online. The most popular way of doing this is via blogging. With news websites and most blogs, you don’t need a journalism degree, you just need an interest and a passion.

It’s an easy mistake to make.
You slap some words on your About page, wrench them apart, shovel in a bit fluff, a pinch of jargon; and give it no more thought. Because it’s not that important, right?
Not exactly.
You see, this is where so many of us get it wrong, and leak piles of cash in the process. Even though we may pay it less attention, our About page is one of our most visited - which makes it low-hanging fruit, just waiting to be plucked.
By which I mean, if your visitors aren’t captivated, bewitched, mesmerized or just plain hungry-for-more after reading your About page, you can grab yourself a hanky and wave them goodbye.
In other words, you just lost a sale.
Because your About page isn’t just about painstakingly-crafted words that make you look good. Your About page is like speed dating

Minimalist web designs, when properly done, are always a great source of inspiration. It is very interesting to see how designers approach the task of delivering a project in a simple way. Keeping only important elements in the layout and getting rid of things that are not essential. And remember that you can still use colors in a minimalist website, so don’t worry about having to stick to neutral colors. Check out the examples we have here and give a shot to the minimalist approach in your next project....
If you’re looking for examples of niche, it’s difficult to imagine a slimmer area of focus than one page websites. It sounds obvious, but you’re building a site for an audience — so why wouldn’t you consider their experience and ways to communicate with them?
Hope explained that he personally contacted the teams behind the first 500 sites he found to let them know they’d been featured and ask if they thought their work had been presented in the best way possible.
They then visited his site and shared the fact that they’d been featured with their followers on social media, forming the foundation of One Page Love’s own following. When they asked if he could make an award banner for their own sites so they could show thatthey’d been featured, he did it — now they’re passively sending him traffic.
Hope suggested that you focus on your users’ experience – don’t make them jump through hoops to find the content, enter a gallery, or navigate around. Don’t have unnecessary clutter, ugly ads or, as he puts it a “social Christmas tree of sharing buttons” if they don’t add any value. Make it easy for visitors to follow you and subscribe to your site, and try out new features often to see what works best for them...
Online analytics can be fascinating. They can provide insight into the quality of your online content, let you know just how engaged your Twitter followers are or simply provide a timely ego boost. However, in amongst all the good news, bad news and insight, there are certain analytics that rarely change. Wherever you go, from B2B service providers to fashion retailers, the most visited web pages are usually the same. The most visited page on almost every website is the “About” page. No matter what you sell, your website visitors, social media followers and online prospects all want to know about you. More than want to know, they actually expect to get information about you. There are common questions every prospect expects to have answered by your online presence....
In today’s post we’re going to go over 10 websites that have left a lasting impression on their visitors. Now, they are not all business websites – but they are inspirational. On this blog we talk a lot about websites that have effective calls to action, non-cluttered home pages, and trustworthy designs with the intention of showing what techniques help improve conversions. After years of showing our readers examples of what works and what doesn’t, one thing we have noticed is an awful lot of similarity between website designs in the same space. My hunch is that either: 1. After years of people copying each other’s designs, SaaS businesses have determined that this is what a SaaS website should look like.
2. Or, after years of individual A/B testing, this is the winning outcome of what an effective website should look like.
I guess I lean more toward point #1…
But why not make your site unforgettable? [This is a terrific post by @seanvwork. The 11 examples show website design, creativity and usability best practices. Lots of great lessons! ~ Jeff ]
