But, it is always a good idea to tell who you are, what you do and why. Not just for the sake of introductions but also to remind yourself where you are coming from and what really matters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #2 \u2013 YourAbout Web Page is an Afterthought<\/strong><br \/>\nYour About Page is something that should be there from the very beginning, not after you get everything going and in the end go \u201coh by the way, this is who we are\u201d. Take this opportunity to connect with your customers and tell them your story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #3 \u2013 YourAbout Web Page is Buried or Disguised<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is nothing more frustrating than navigating a website to find such basic information about a company. Nobody has got time to spend digging through your site to find out about you. The About Page should be very clear and easy to find, addressing basic curiosities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #4 \u2013 YourAbout Web Page is Too Long &amp; Impractical<\/strong><br \/>\nYour About Page should be smart and concise. Not a prehistoric history of how you began, a detailed bio of your founders and customer reviews etc. Keep it simple and don\u2019t overload it with information or make it too long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #5 \u2013 YourAbout Web Page is a Video<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile some people may like it, most people just lack the patience to sit through a 5-6 minute long video loaded with sounds and infographics, introducing your company and brand. Don\u2019t make knowing about you a task for your visitors and instead provide answers to basic questions on your About page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #6 \u2013 Too Stiff. Too Concise.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile being concise is a good thing, being too much of it is bad. Choose enough words and right ones that will resonate with your customers. Be honest and compelling about who you are but don\u2019t be too stiff about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #7 \u2013 Not Showcasing Your Products or Services<a href=\"http:\/\/win2wininc.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/about-page-image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-10158\" src=\"http:\/\/win2wininc.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/about-page-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/win2wininc.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/about-page-image.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/win2wininc.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/about-page-image-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/win2wininc.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/about-page-image-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>Customers don\u2019t need an extensive backstory about what you do or why you are so great. The need a basic idea of what you offer and how you will be creating value for them. Don\u2019t assume customers know what you are offering rather let them know straight up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #8 \u2013 Using Too Many Jargons<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t overload your About Web Page with industry jargons and insider lingo. You must come across as friendly and relatable, explaining about yourself in layman terms. Being professional does not have to mean throwing around big fancy words.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #9 \u2013 Being Too Clever<\/strong><br \/>\nThinking out-of-the-box is great, but don\u2019t try to be so clever that you are miles away from the box altogether. It may reflect poorly on you as vanity or trying way too hard to get attention. Be creative but stick to being easy-to-understand as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mistake #10 \u2013 Thinking YourAbout Web Page is About You<\/strong><br \/>\nYour About Page should be relatable and give a sense of being there to serve. Not as an advertisement of how awesome your company is. Be humble in your words and allow your customers to resonate with your story.<br \/>\nLet us know what you think in the comments below.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed our article on&nbsp;10 Reasons Your Company\u2019s About Page Is Still Not Working.
