Create an About Page
Many people who design a website forget to create an "about" page. Forgetting to create this page can be one of the worst things you can do. You won't be able to retain many visitors to your site if they can't figure out what your site is about. Rather than explaining your page on several different pages throughout your site, consolidate everything that your page has to offer and mention it on your about page.

It's best not to go into great detail on this particular page. A brief mention of who you are, what your website is for, and what you are offering is usually quite sufficient. Your visitors will find it much easier to get an idea of your website by reading through your about page overview, making their visit a whole lot easier.
