20 excellent contact pages | Webdesigner Depot

From www.webdesignerdepot.com - March 27, 2013 7:02 AM

...For some, this is that last page on the site map where you just throw a bunch of information. You can leave it up to the person to decide how they want to contact you and what they want to contact you about. For others, this is the last attempt to get your potential customer to give you their business. The contact page is much more important than many give it credit. Many basic websites just throw some numbers and e-mails up and move along. But in most cases, this is the page your customer sees before they decide they want you on their project. Or before they decide they want to visit you to purchase your product. It’s extremely important to make sure your contact page delivers in the best way possible. It can be a tricky thing to handle, so today, we’ve gathered 20 sites with great contact pages and forms to give you a bit of a creative boost....

CRO: How to Convert Visitors from Your About Page - Dukeo

From dukeo.com - May 11, 2013 2:07 AM

Many bloggers only set up an About page as an afterthought. Someone said, “Hey! You need an About page” so they create one and add a few lines about their blog, their reason for blogging and what they like to do when they’re not blogging. But if you understand the mindset of the visitor who looks for your About page you’ll see it deserves much more attention.

Unless you’re sharing that specific link, very few of your visitors will land on your About page when they come to your blog. Most will either land on an individual post or your homepage. After reading your post, and maybe checking out a few more, your visitor might be so impressed that he decides to check out your About page. So it’s important to understand that visitors who go to your About page are already sold on your blog, otherwise they wouldn’t take the time to try to learn more about you – they’d just leave your blog....

Why Usability & Usefulness Are Cool Again | Rohit Barghava

From www.rohitbhargava.com - September 23, 2012 11:18 PM

...Jakob Nielsen was a household name in web development teams – and "Information Architect" and "Usability Expert" were considered careers for the future. Then one day usability started to fade into the background. It became more of an afterthought. When is the last time you saw any job with "usability" in the title on any sort of list of jobs for the future?

The irony is that usability never became less important – it was just that marketing people moved on to promoting sexier things … like social media and focused on buzzwords like "engagement" and creating "conversations." The after effect of this focus is still evident all around us:

United Airlines has a website that is a towering monument to what happens when no one listens to the usability experts. Tasks are impossible to complete without too many clicks, the interface is completely non-intuitive, and your logged in profile is inconveniently forgotten before any transaction....
