Make your site more attractive by using Wordpress Plugins

Long back I came across a saying that of all the five senses that the human being uses, the sense of sight and visuals is the most appealing. Think about it! When you go into a book shop the first thing that draws you to a book is the cover design and the colours. Similarly, when you are out shopping for a car or even clothes, the first thing that you notice is the overall looks and appeal. Actually, come to think of it isn’t it the same logic that applies in the case of humans as well?

By now you all must have got the hint that looks and appeals are something that play an important role in becoming the deciding factor for most of us. If we look at the most recent trends and buying habits of consumers, one more reality is that most of the buying these days happens in the virtual world of the world wide web. Which is why one of the major advertising strategies for most products and services is via the medium of a perfectly designed webpage hosted on the Automattic’s splendid creation of Wordpress.

“That which is visible is the only thing that sells. In an era where this holds so very true, it is hard to imagine things being any different from this obvious. Looks, appeal and attractiveness are some of the things that people look for almost instantly. If you have a product and a service that is worthy, then the final thrust can be given with the help of Wordpress and its user-friendly plug-ins.” -- Expert at GoAssignmentHelp

Go Pro-Social with Social Warfare: Let’s face it, an online portal and page get the final mileage with more people sharing, liking or commenting on the pages. These days it is simply not enough to just create a page and leave it at that. You need to make sure that there is enough activity that keeps your page active because the more active your page is the more people will subscribe, like and share the content. If your Wordpress page needs more people to flock it, well Social Warfare is the plug-in that you absolutely need to use.

Chronosoly Effective Calendar Events: If your business is the kind that holds events and needs more people to be witness to it, then it is natural for you to need a calendar display on your Wordpress page so that you can keep your audience informed. A normal and simple calendar is today an eyesore which is why even your calendar events need to be quirky and creative. Worry no more, because, with the help of Chronosoly, this demand can be quickly resolved.

Grid Videos with Video Grid: In the era of digitization and visual statics, it is going to be a complete negative if your page does not carry a few videos. Since the visual sense is the most enhancing, customers enjoy visiting portals that can engage them and keep them glued. One way of doing this on your Wordpress page is by using the Video Grid plug-in, which allows you to upload videos and even edit them as per your likes. So go ahead and give your audience that visual treat of the videos.

Add more Swift with the Swifty Bar: So, you have won the first battle by drawing the customer to your Wordpress page. The next step is to make sure that you give them everything that they expect and that too at an arms reach, or in this case at a clicks reach. If a customer is viewing a certain blog or video, you need to have some option of maneuvering to the next page on your page. That’s where Swifty Bar comes to your rescue. A small and tidy tab at the bottom of your page which interactively lets the audience shift through pages that will let them know more about you and your work. The best part is that it is a small plug-in which won’t take up much space and will make sure that your page is still smooth and easy to operate and work on. Make sure you add the swift factor with the help of Swifty Bar.

Box it Right with Page Box: Digital presence on a single platform is sadly not enough in today’s day and age. With tones of social media platforms available today you absolutely need to make your presence felt at as many platforms as possible. When people come to your Wordpress page it will be handy if you have a section which gives them the link to your Facebook page. After all, let’s get real and know that millions of users start and end their day with Facebook. You can do this the smart way by using the Page Box plug-in.

Smush it but don’t Mush it with WP Smush: Getting back to the point of engaging the audience with eye appeal, comes another important tip. No web page will look good without the use of attractive and appealing images. Having said that there is also this growing concern that using too many images makes the website heavy and increases the latency time. This, in turn, goes on to hamper the user experience. The safe way to go about this is by using the plug-in WP Smush, which almost instantly optimizes the images and makes it usable for your page. Rather than choosing not to use any images at all, why not use the WP Smush to compress the images and still give your page the wow factor.
