The Importance of a Sales-Focused Website

A website should function as a sales pitch, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. When people visit a website, they should become increasingly excited about buying the product as they scroll down. Many websites fail to effectively sell because they prioritize showcasing information or the story of the company instead of focusing on the sales pitch. The header of the website is crucial and should answer three key questions: what do you do, how does it make my life better, and how do I get it? The header should also include an image that depicts the desired outcome after using the product.
