Or why you need to research and profile your website visitors and how to do it.
(Don't worry, it's not complicated)
Creating profiles of your customers helps you understand their needs

  • Internet savvy but poor eyesight, relies on clear directions on websites
  • Likes Google and BBC, finds them easy to use
  • Is very careful online, likes to be reassured
A customer focused website is the start of a successful website
  • 26 / F / Household Duties

Use the information you've gathered to devise different "customer journeys"
These journeys are how you expect people to use your website based on the profiles you've created
