Make a List

Whether we do them or not, we love lists! Lists make information more easily digestible. Be careful not to make a long list, because visitors only have about 8 seconds of attention to dedicate to finding the information they need. List headlines let the readers know how much information to expect. It also shows that they can get their information right now without much reading.

We want to show readers that we are not just a company, but a group of people working to help them. Let your visitors know that you connect with them, thus beginning the process of building long lasting customer relationships.
