Is it to show customers who your team is, to put a 'face'\u009d to the company? Or do you talk about the history of your company? Maybe it\u2019s a recruiting tool?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About pages can serve a variety of purposes. The key to making them successful, though, is knowing what that purpose is, and designing the page to address that purpose specifically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your\u00a0About page is the perfect place to encourage people to work with you, or to work for you. Below are some best practices to follow when designing your About page to achieve either of those goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1. Tell your story<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your About page is your opportunity\u00a0to make a personal connection with prospective customers. Explain why it is that you do what you do. Are you passionate about improving your industry, your product, the world? Reveal your passion, and people will want to work with you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nick Braun, founder and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petinsurancequotes.com\/about\">Pet Insurance Quotes<\/a>, took\u00a0this one step further by helping potential clients imagine themselves in his shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Braun&#8217;s About page includes the key elements of any successful About page: contact information, trust-building industry badges of approval, and clear\u00a0CTAs. What makes this page stand out\u00a0is Braun&#8217;s personal dog rescue story. He and his wife fell instantly in love with their new pup Beau, and started exploring insurance options so they could keep him happy\u00a0and healthy for as long as possible. It was during this time that Braun realized how difficult it was to compare pet insurance providers, which gave\u00a0him the idea to start the website. Braun\u2019s site aims to help other pet parents avoid headache and heartache.<\/p>\n<p>'There is nothing fancy about it, but what it does that most other About pages don&#8217;t is provide a story about why we&#8217;re in business. I always find it frustrating when I can&#8217;t get any sense of who the company is,'\u009d said Braun. 'We decided to share my story as a pet parent to provide context and help connect with our audience.'\u009d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12230 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetInsuranceQuotes.com_-e1473800274999.png\" alt=\"About PetInsuranceQuotes.com\" width=\"1039\" height=\"1160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetInsuranceQuotes.com_-e1473800274999.png 1039w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetInsuranceQuotes.com_-e1473800274999-269x300.png 269w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetInsuranceQuotes.com_-e1473800274999-768x857.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetInsuranceQuotes.com_-e1473800274999-917x1024.png 917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1039px) 100vw, 1039px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Establish credibility<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris Brantner recognized the sales opportunity an About page presents. Rather than offering another boring 'About Me'\u009d story on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cutcabletoday.com\/about\/\">CutCableToday.com<\/a>, he designed a page to encourage customers to take action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The page begins\u00a0with a trust-building banner. 'It validates the site as an expert source in the industry by showing where the site has gained national media coverage,'\u009d said Brantner. Once he\u2019s established trust, Brantner\u00a0keeps things fun and conversational, allowing his personality to shine. 'It&#8217;s a great branding piece that allows people to get to know the site mascot, and the guy behind him (me).'\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Brantner understands that when people come to an About page, they\u2019re already at a place where they&#8217;re interested in the product, and what they\u2019re looking for at this point is reassurance that this is the kind of person they want to work with. After building trust and rapport with potential customers in the previous sections of the page, the page ends with a contact form. 'It drives people to action by convincing them to click internal links that will push them into the funnel, or at last resort, email asking for help to keep the conversation going.'\u009d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12231 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-CutCableToday-e1473800396184.png\" alt=\"About CutCableToday\" width=\"1215\" height=\"848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-CutCableToday-e1473800396184.png 1215w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-CutCableToday-e1473800396184-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-CutCableToday-e1473800396184-768x536.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-CutCableToday-e1473800396184-1024x715.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1215px) 100vw, 1215px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Feature your customers<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As they say, the proof is in the pudding. There\u2019s a reason why online reviews and customer testimonials are so popular'\u00a6 they work. User your\u00a0About page to show off\u00a0your portfolio of work and share how happy your customers are. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pet Checkers is a UK-based company that connects pet owners with pet care professionals when they go on holiday. As any pet owner can relate, it&#8217;s nerve-wracking to leave your pet in the hands of a stranger. Not only do you want to know that they will be safe, you want to know that they will be cared for lovingly. Building that sense of trust is\u00a0a tall order for any pet care company, but Pet Checkers found a clever solution to this challenge in the design of their About page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owner Ben Doyle explained, 'We worked really hard to make the page look as welcoming and as personal as possible. All of the images we used on the page (and the site) are of actual pets we look after, so our clients can see that we make a fuss of their pets on the site. We also introduce our staff members to make the readers feel like they\u2019re getting to know us before any contact even takes place.'\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does it work? You bet. 'The click through rate from this page to the contact page is the highest of any page on the site,'\u009d shared Doyle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetCheckers.jpg\" alt=\"About Pet Checkers\" width=\"1804\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetCheckers.jpg 1804w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetCheckers-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetCheckers-768x408.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/About-PetCheckers-1024x544.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1804px) 100vw, 1804px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Introduce the team<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introducing your team is especially important if you\u2019re a company where individual staff will be working closely and for prolonged times with clients. If this is the kind of business you\u2019re in, be it a law firm, a design agency, or something else, hiding your team away can be a kiss of death. Make your team accessible through your website so your customers know they can expect openness and transparency in your working relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One company that took\u00a0a clever\u00a0twist on this approach is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tunnelbear.com\/about\">TunnelBear<\/a>. Their mascot is a grizzly bear, so rather than displaying normal photos of their team, they created grizzly-inspired illustrations that reflect their unique personalities. The effect is endearing and makes you want to work with such a fun group of people. Accordingly, they end with a recruiting call-out and link to their jobs page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-13-at-4.04.13-PM.png\" alt=\"About TunnelBear\" width=\"1370\" height=\"765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-13-at-4.04.13-PM.png 1370w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-13-at-4.04.13-PM-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-13-at-4.04.13-PM-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-13-at-4.04.13-PM-1024x572.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1370px) 100vw, 1370px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5.\u00a0Showcase your work<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to toot our own horn, but we&#8217;re pretty proud of our own About page here at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/about\">HostGator<\/a>.
