4 Ways to Kickstart your Website this Summer

[[R] NuclearGeneral]

1). Make your Articles Beautiful to Read, not Dull.

• Create short and catchy headlines.
• Always write your own unique content. Never directly copy from someone else and claim it as your own.
• Include images that are of high quality. Make sure they are relevant and interesting to your content.
• Finally, feature your most popular/best/recent articles by incorporating a slider into your website.

IPC Slider has impressed and delivered to well over 100+ clients, rising to one of the most popular hooks for a good reason: It makes you and your Articles look fantastic!

2). Change up your theme and make a homepage with Content.

 

• No-one will wants to see the same 'out of the box' design. Purchase a theme that you think will most suit your community.
• Consider "Responsive themes" or "Responsive Hooks" to accommodate your mobile/tablet audience.
• Create a homepage with Content, and utilise Content Layouts to design an effortless page.

Content Layouts will allow you to create the perfect homepage without touching a line of code. Simple yet effective settings to create a three, two, or single column layout in one page only. Its an ideal hook for someone wanting to create an easy, no hassle page.

3). Transform those Bad Topic Titles into a Clickthrough

• On almost any site you will see a 'Recent something' panel. Unless your community are a bunch of copywriters the chances are your Topic Titles are never quite as good as you would like them to be. Could it be effecting how your visitors view and engage with the rest of your site?
• Create a new way of making your Topics more engaging by including images of the topic within the sidebar.

Recent Topics is the perfect solution for any IP Content powered site wanting to feature a list of Recent Topics, with attachments. (It also integrates with the IP Board sidebar)

4). Feature those all important Topics, not just Articles!

• Featuring Topics with a Slider was almost unheard of in the IPS community until recently. The newest addition to the IPC Slider family, is Topic Slider.
• Set a bunch of parameters, and watch your community topics fly into a slider with images, without lifting a finger.
