HOW
do you tell a story that people want to hear?

Big Picture: What a Web Site Does
Big Picture #1:
A Web site must do at least one of two things, but probably both:
• Turn a stranger into a friend, and a friend into a customer.
• Talk in a tone of voice that persuades people to believe the story you’re telling.
Big Picture #2:
A Web site can cause only four things to happen in the moments after someone sees it:
• She clicks and goes somewhere else you want her to go.
• She clicks and gives you permission to follow up by email or phone.
• She clicks and buys something.
• She tells a friend, either by clicking or by blogging or phoning or talking.
That’s it.
If your site is attempting to do more than this, you’re wasting time and money and,
more important, focus.
In this guide, we’ll start with Big Picture #1, because it’s first.

Why Bother?
Guy goes on a sales call. After a while, the purchasing agent says, “Are you trying to sell
me something?”
The salesman hesitates, then stammers, “Well, no, of course not… I’m just trying to
talk with you….”
Understandably, the purchasing agent is incensed. “If you’re not here to sell me something,
get out and stop wasting my time.”
Sometimes it’s hard to embrace the fact that, yes, you are trying to sell something. It
might be a product or a service or just an idea. You might be trying to raise money for
your university or help a battered woman find the nearest shelter. But you are trying
to do something with your Web site. If you’re not, get out.
So what are you trying to do? Have you got real clarity among the people on your team?
A Web page isn’t a place the way Starbucks is a place. A Web page is a step in a process.
The steps on the stoop in front of your house understand (if steps understand anything)
that they exist in order to get you up or down. If you asked the architect what any
particular step is for, she wouldn’t hesitate. The answer is obvious. T
he purpose of this
step is to get you to the next step. That’s it.
