Web Sites: Put Contact Info on Front Page and Every Page

Number Nine of the Thirteen Top Rules of Marketing according to Bootstrapping Your Business by Greg Gianforte and Marcus Gibson, is "Put Your Best Foot Forward on the Web."

"Put your contact details on the front page on the top left or right, in significantly large type. Don't forget - up to a third of the people surfing the Web are simply looking for a contact phone number."

That's great advice. I also recommend that you provide contact information in your footer - which is on every page.

Can your clients find you?

Great suggestion Sandy. How do we hack the TypePad template to include something in the footer? I don't see a footer on your site, and I can't figure out how to get one on mine either.

Hey Phil,

Thanks for stopping by. TypePad had good instructions in their Knowledge Base. First thing to consider is that you need the PRO level to use advanced templates.

If you want more input, send me an email.

I'll have to work on my footer. It shows up fine in Firefox but not always in Internet Explorer.
