Although most Internet marketing websites are fairly cut and dry, there are some nitty-gritty little specifics that you should pay some attention to, based on your target demographic.
For example, Google Chrome has a feature that allows pages to be translated to the “native” language of the browser. Even if your website business is in Houston, Texas, if your target demographic is Chinese, and has their web browsers set to Chinese as the default language, your page might wind up looking one of those older dubbed Kung-Fu/Ninja movies. You know the type—with the awful voice overs that you know have nothing to do with the scene. Your website appearance could be the visual version of a badly-dubbed Kung-Fu/Ninja movie, if you’re not careful about your audience.
While language is something you want to make sure your page addresses, another important piece to consider is the visual appeal. The web design may look like gold in Google Chrome, but might wind up having strange symbols and extra code pop up in an older version of Internet Explorer.
When analyzing your target demographic, be sure to gather as much information about the people who are loyal to your online business, and plan your web design accordingly. Do they require, for example, larger fonts, more contrast to see your products or services easily? What types of browsers are they using, and what Internet speed do they have. Yes, some people still use dial-up, does your page load well for a dial-up user?
You can find most of this information in a traditional analytics page like Google Analytics, or whatever website analytics software you use. Once you know the type of user you are working with, you can build a great website business to fit their needs.
