Give Your Pages an Obvious Name

by Tambako the Jaguar

Time for a rant about websites that use cute or unusual page naming conventions.  You know the ones – instead of “Contact” or “Contact Us” they say “Start a Conversation”,  ”How Can We Help” or some other verbiage which makes me stop and think.

This is a bad thing.  Unless I have a very good reason, I won’t stop and think.  Instead of trying to decipher what you mean I’ve already moved on to your competitor who has a clearly labelled Support page instead of your cutesy “Let’s Figure This Out”.

These are the page I expect to easily find on a website:

• Contact
• Support
• About

At the very minimum, if you have these pages, don’t conceal them with silly names.  Don’t make me work.  Make me a client.

jQuery(‘.nrelate_default’).removeClass(‘nrelate_default’);

/* <![CDATA[ */
nRelate.domain = "www.sophrosynelife.com";
var entity_decoded_nr_mp_url = jQuery('‘).html(“http://api.nrelate.com/mpw_wp/0.51.4/?tag=nrelate_popular&domain=www.sophrosynelife.com&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sophrosynelife.com%2F2013%2F01%2Fgive-your-pages-an-obvious-name%2F&nr_div_number=2&maxageposts=5256000&increment=0”).text();
nRelate.getNrelatePosts(entity_decoded_nr_mp_url);
/* ]]> */
