Here are two things to think about as a new website owner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, when online visitors want to get in touch with you, the first thing they will do is locate your website and click on your contact page. Next, it only takes 2.6 seconds<\/a> for a user\u2019s eyes to land on the area of a website that most influences their first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means if you want to impress the people that are looking to get in touch with you, you have to create a contact page that will rock their world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may seem like creating an outstanding contact page is a no-brainer, but you\u2019d be surprised at how many people forget to leave out critical contact information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, 51% of people<\/a> think “thorough contact information” is the most important element missing from many company websites. Not to mention, when you leave out vital contact information, you lose your visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to research, 44% of website visitors will exit a company’s website if there’s no contact information or phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post will outline how to create a contact page that will draw your users in and give them the information they seek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I Really Need a Contact Page for My Website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes! It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a blogger, a small business owner, an agency owner, or if you are using your website as a portfolio. Your users need a clear-cut way to find your contact information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skeptical? Keep in mind that it only takes about 50 milliseconds<\/a> (that\u2019s 0.05 seconds) for visitors to form an opinion about your website that determines whether they\u2019ll stay or leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone clicks through to your site looking for contact information, they aren\u2019t going to stick around for a wild goose chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have approximately .05 seconds to show them where your contact information is, or you might lose them. This means it\u2019s best to follow standard practice and provide a contact page with a quickly visible link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Goes on a Website Contact Page?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If 51% of people think websites don\u2019t contain thorough enough contact information, it\u2019s important to know what 'thorough enough contact information'\u009d means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s state the obvious first. The most important thing your contact page needs is a header explaining users are on the contact page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can be straightforward and write 'contact page,'\u009d or get more creative with something your users will find self-explanatory, yet amusing. Try: 'Let\u2019s connect,'\u009d 'say hello,'\u009d 'get in touch,'\u009d or something to that effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you need to list all the information for how they can contact you, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
