Billee – well said. “Have the end in mind” is smart advice. Thank you!

Hi Heather,

You make a great point here and this info couldn’t be more valuable to the blogger.
I think it’s a great idea to have the end on mind before you even create the content.
“The Call To Action”
Thanks,

Nyla-

Great question! My answer – heck yeah! If it fits and flows, that would make a lot of sense.

Another great article with excellent points. Do you think a call to action should also be placed at the end of an about page?

Hehe, Laura, I’m sure your site doesn’t have any dead-end pages. And if it did…I’m sure they’re gone now (and I’ll never tell a soul!)

I usually refrain from commenting on your posts, being the editor of such, but this one simply rocks in its simplicity and immediate do-ability! Think I might just inch on over to my own site now….

Amy – thanks for your feedback. Aren’t SodaStreams great? I love my SodaStream so much that I take it with me when I travel (except on a plane.)

Now if they would only let me help them with their site…..

Excellent points and such a simple thing to implement, sometimes it’s so easy to miss the glaringly obvious. I’ll be going over our websites today looking for dead end pages.

First, I must confess that I have a soda maker from SodaStream. However, I was lured in at the San Diego Fair, not the website.

When it comes to websites, I think that although not every page is a “sales” page, each page should have calls to action and links to related pages.

If you want people to take action, make it easy for them to do it.

As always, great post Heather!
