The 4 Personality Types Your Website Needs To Appeal To
This week I want to cover a topic that I’ve seen so many DIYers gloss over. Website Personality Types. Hands up if at some point you have taken a personality test. They are very common in the corporate world. One of the most widely used is the Myers-Briggs test. Failing to understand that potential clients view and consume websites in different ways, means you are missing out on the opportunity to create the best website possible for your business. Remember we all communicate in different ways. Learning more about these personality types will have the potential to send your website into the stratosphere.
