Call to action
A true Call to action should provide some kind of value to your customers. A simple button saying “Customize your Order” OR “Get in Touch” are generic example of Call to Action. You should put Call to Action on each page of your website, this will prompt your website users to get in touch or at least make it easy for them to contact you.
Call to action is a great way to generate free sales database, for example “Subscribe to our Newsletter”, “Get free Website Review” are commonly used call to action triggers.

Use HTML
It can be fancy to use different and more special fonts in an image, but we strongly advise you to place your text in HTML. This is important for SEO, because texts in images can't be read by search engines.

17. Make your website spam proof
Any new website will be bombarded by spammers through contact form, enquiry form or any other forms on the website. To overcome spamming you can put capta code(random numbers or letters) in your forms. If you think your website visitors might get annoyed if they are asked to fill captcha code then you can avoid spamming through coding. Coders put a hidden filed in the coding which is not visible to the users, only robots can see them. If this field is filled then you know it’s a robot trying to spam and your system will not the details to you thus saving your time.
