Converting Print Advertising For Use On The Web – A How-To

by: J Hancock

Contrary to the beliefs of some, advertising for web and print are very different. Converting print ads for use on the web is very tricky. What has been very successful on paper may have no impact at all on the screen. When I am asked “How do I convert my print ads to web?” my answer is simple: don’t! Web and print are so vastly different that I believe you should never build your web pages based on a print ad.

There are certain rules that web design must follow that simply don’t apply to print. One of my colleagues, Tim Pattison, broke these rules down very concisely recently:

• Usability
• Browser compatibility
• Designing within the constraints of (X)HTML
• Accessibility

These are the four rules that web design must follow. I will explain these rules in detail later. For now though we need to talk about copywriting. As I said in my last newsletter Web Site Templates and Their Benefits, the most important part of your website is content. Search engines and disabled users don’t care how your site looks. They only care about the information your site presents. The reason I’m coming back to this is to explain that writing web copy is an entirely different ball game from writing print copy. Quite possibly the best resource for writing web copy is the book “Web Copy That Sells” by Maria Veloso. It outlines the differences between the two and gives great techniques to writing for the web. I will be revisiting this topic in my newsletters to come, so make sure you visit often.The four rules exclusive to web design: usability, browser compatibility, design within the constraints of (x)html, and accessibility, are the four horsemen of doom for the uneducated, inexperienced designer. They are some of the most overlooked aspects of web design, and yet some of the most important.

• Usability: Unlike print ads, web sites are interactive. Users must be able to easily find their way around, and they need a clear path to the information they are trying to find. If you are selling a product, there needs to be a clear, concise, distraction free path from the home page all the way to the check out page.
• Browser compatibility: In a perfect world you could design your web site once and it would look perfect and stay perfect in all browsers. Unfortunately, we live in the real world where some browsers support a set of standards and others simply don’t. Actually, the most popular browser in the world has for years lived by their own rules. While MS Internet Explorer still holds the majority of the market share, Mozzilla, Netscape, and Opera have acquired a considerable percentage of the browser market. In fact, it’s high enough of a percentage to make Microsoft revise their plans to release IE 7.0. While competition is healthy, it makes for headaches for web designers. It is not uncommon to have your site looking perfect in one browser only to find that your entire design explodes when viewed with another.
• Designing within the constraints of (x)html: When you lay out a print ad, you place the images where they belong on the page, draw out any shapes, lay out the colors, and place the text. Then you print it out and make copies. Every copy you hand out looks exactly the same, and there’s nothing magic about the way things stay on the page. In web design, everything is held in place by code. You could easily have a four to one ratio of code to content. If you are not familiar with the coding involved in keeping your site looking like it’s supposed to, it can be very frustrating laying out your design.
• Accessibility: Back to our perfect world – not only would browsers be perfect, but all our viewers would look through the same eyes. Unfortunately, some people aren’t blessed with good eyesight or motor skills like you and I. We need to consider that for those who have disabilities, a poorly laid out website can be completely useless. You could ignore that audience, but you would be doing yourself a disservice. And let’s not forget, our biggest and most important group of users is completely blind: search engine spiders. They read your website the same way a blind person does. If the layout of your site isn’t logical, a spider may leave and not bother coming back for a long time.

Considering these things, I think it is always best to design your web site separate from your print advertising. Always write fresh copy for the web, and remember that it’s not enough to write great copy once. You need to update your site regularly to keep the search engines interested.

Bad Web Design: Advertising Mistakes

by: Richard Lowe

Okay, we know we all need to pay the bills. I know that many of us want to
get traffic to our web sites. And some of us just want to make enough money
to pay for our costs so that this thing we love to do is free.

But, come on, that doesn’t mean you should plaster a hundred ads or a dozen
banners on every page of your web site. A banner here and there, a small
button or a few text links is fine, but I’ve seen some web sites that have
dozens and a few that have hundreds of ads on each page! Now this is just
tacky and is virtually guaranteed to get your visitors to hit that handy
back button fast.

One of the worst kinds of web sites, in my opinion, are those that are just
huge advertisements. Especially those that are advertisements for dozens or
even hundreds of other services. People do not surf the web looking for
banners, text links and other advertisements to click on. In fact,
statistically, most people are surfing because they are looking for (a)
information, (b) entertainment, or (c) someone to talk to. Most web surfers
are not looking for something to purchase.

A good web site offers excellent content (which can be graphics, text or
interactive features). Even those sites which sell something also offer
content which is of interest to their visitors. Go take a look at any really
good shopping site and you will see what I mean. Look at Amazon.Com or
Barnes And Noble and you will understand – these sites offer tons of
content. Reviews of their products, consumer comments and large amounts of
data about the items being sold. This is what people want – information.
Some common things on web site that you should never do.

Banner exchanges – It’s real simple – these do not work. Oh, you will get a
click or two, but banner exchanges tend to look tacky, take up valuable
space on your web pages and increase your load time. To make it even worse,
many times you will lose far more traffic than you will gain. Don’t even
bother putting even one of these on your entire web site.

Notices saying "please, pretty please, keep my site free and click on
something". This just makes you look like a rank amateur. In my humble
opinion, it’s very tacky to expect people to click on links just so you can
"keep your site free". Come up with or find a good product or service, and
sell it if you must. Advertising is not in of itself of value – only
products or services have value.

Pornographic ads (unless your site is a pornographic site) – You want to
chase away your visitors fast, then include pornographic ads. Yeah, you
might get a few dollars from them, but you will lose visitors and your site
will not be "family safe", which can be important.

Gambling ads – I understand that these advertisements may be the only things
(besides pornography) that people will click on nowadays, but quite a few
people do not want to be exposed to these things. I believe that these kinds
of advertisements will cause you to loose a large amount of traffic.

Web sites that are just advertisements – I suppose there is a place for
brochures or full site advertisements, but I personally hit the back key as
soon as I run into one of these. I want content. If I wanted this many
advertisements I’d buy a magazine or look in the classified section of the
newspaper.

Any large graphic advertisements. Remember one of the very important things
in web design is load time. Your site must load fast. If you include large
graphic ads you are increase your load times.

Sites which are just lists of pay-surf, MLM or other money making schemes.
There is nothing wrong with include some pay-surf or MLM ads here and there
on your site. Including a section on these programs is also fine. But come
on, please put some real content there also. Otherwise people will hit the
back key fast and never come back.

Brochures – I’ve seen a large number of web sites in my days, and one of the
ones that I click out of the fastest is one that looks like a brochure. It
feels just like someone took the company brochure and converted it to web
format. What on earth makes companies think these are of value to anyone?

Popup Windows – If you do a survey of web surfers, you will find that these
are among the most hated "features" that exist. No one likes pop up windows,
and if your site has too many of them you will loose visitors fast. Oh, you
may get a few more clicks or signups for your newsletter, but the amount of
time your visitors remain on your site will be limited and of less quality.

900 Numbers – Sites which advertise 900 numbers (a) don’t work, and (b)
clutter up the web needlessly. My advice is to find something better to do.
