1. About Us Introduction: and our Borders pages one of the most important pages of our website. Look at this page as an opportunity to create a Venice about you in your brand. In the section I show you some best practices to create in a bar this page. Then I'll show you how I create in a bodice page to my website. So let's get started. My visitors are trying to determine if they can trust me, so they want a peek behind the curtain and see if my companies, the one they would like to do business with they seek answers to questions like, Is this a small company or a big company? Is that a public are private are a family owned business? How long has it been in business? Who is the main face of the company and who are the team members? Rate is a company based What makes this company special? What are the core values of the business, and why should I buy from this company? If I can answer these questions within this about us page, that would be great. Remember this. This is one place where I can sing my own praises no hard and fast rules. If I'm a sole proprietor, are a small business owner. I'll say a little bit about my background. Share my pictures with my family. How I founded the business in the rial inspiration behind the business. What are my credentials? Mission, vision and core values of my company, My unique selling proposition, how I conduct Business Day today and some testimonials from my customers. If it's a medium to large size business, I would share a BART the origin and drove to the company D members and their credentials, Mission, vision and values of the company company's unique selling proposition. How the company conducts Business Day Today and some testimonials from customers Been riding my AB artist page. I don't want to say the same thing that appear on my home beach. Ah, long detail Historical summary will board my readers. I also don't want to sound like I'm boasting. As in most cases, the best answer is to find the middle ground much like a resume. I would use it to land a job, offer a straightforward presentation, other facts and figures of wide super letters and pushy, which, for example, I'll explain why people should do business with me. What benefits can my products provide that my prospects will value? If I can't really quantify those benefits, I would do it. Saying my product increases productivity by 20% is lot more persuasive than simply saying it improves for activity. I would tell my customers what problems I saw. I would describe my capabilities and why I'm uniquely qualified to offer the service other product I sell. I would state how many years I've been in business and the expedience and what my key people bring to my business. I also mentioned some of the milestones in my company's history. If it's a long standing one by providing information about my background, I should be able to demonstrate visitors that I understand what they are seeking, and I'm able to offer an excellent solution. This page must inspire trust because, without trust, I'll never get the prospect that reach for swallowed. Also, I would design the page for my audience. I just visualize them clearly in my mind. Then I write to them one on one, as if I'm talking to him or her directly. Whether it's a new mom are an I D professional are a senior citizen. Each of the about audience require a different approach. I talked to their language on this page. I mean, I relate to them and address their specific needs in a language they can easily understand . I would happen to their emotions to make the copy powerful. When I talk to them, I'm a highlight. Some of my strong point, like my credentials, are my communications are testimonials or whatever. Most importantly, I get personal, be friendly and right like I'm docking a friend out of white carpet Jardins on mumble jumble. Words out can weigh my passion and let my personality shine there. I'll be sincere in expressing my values and philosophies. If I do that, I'll be seen as a professional, though I'm very casual while writing a copy at the same time. I would be very humble while doing all this. I will also let my audience know about some of my one liabilities because that's an additional strength for me, as it will show that I am a human being like them. Otherwise, I would use suburbs with bullet points, a lot of colorful images, social proof like testimonials and the like. Now let's see some examples. The first example is mas dot com. This is the about US page of mas dot com. It is an image with the headline. They have given it in five different categories. They tell their story here how they evolved as a company from the year they were found. It's given in the fall off Infographic and with an acronym, they tell their core values. They published the photos of the team members, then the job postings here. Then they contact us. Page is a part of their body. Speech on next example is hubs bar dot com. It's an inbound marketing software company. They call their about us page as our story. They tell their story in the mission, etcetera with a few slight images. Then they have a video, all about the importance of inbound marketing. They talk about how the founders, Bryant and Damage met with each other. What is common between them and how they started the company again, with a few slider images they talk about helps part culture. Then they talk about their free cr Um, all in one, marketing software and sales stewed that customers testifying these tools on next example, is yellow leaf hammocks dot com on their about US page. They have a nice G a of image with a headline. Then they talk about the motto. How they have business model works. They talk about how they partnered with the local community, the make the product and improve their lives, and how they contribute to the economic and social development, their vacation inspiration dean and values and about their awesome hammocks. And finally there called to actions I've noticed many companies don't publish in a bar speech, But in my view, I would only look at this as an opportunity to connect with customers at a deep emotional level. It presents that human face and touch of for business that's very important for a longstanding connection. This will create loyal customers, so don't miss out. Go ahead and create this page. Show your friendly face on it. Show your team. Show that you care about your customer and the deepest needs and watch and, most importantly, walk the talk. Deliver what you say. Here you start seeing positive result. Sure, so let me jump straight in and creating a bodice page for my website. I'll tell my personal and brand story here since my website is his small business website and I'm the only one who's running it out. Create the space to suit this, so let's get started. 2.
