Getting your website ready for DesignCon
A simple plan around the dates of DesignCon. Adjust it to your team and your products.
-
Step 1
8 weeks before
Open your website on a phone as a visitor would and note what is slow or unclear. List what you will show at DesignCon in the Electronics & Electrical sector and check that each item has its own page.
-
Step 2
4 weeks before
Describe each offer in plain words: who it is for, what problem it solves and how a visitor gets in touch. Add the languages your visitors read and a QR code that leads to a page made for DesignCon.
-
Step 3
Fair week
Test your contact form and the e-mail it sends on a phone. Capture every contact at the stand with one method and note what each visitor asked for.
-
Step 4
2 weeks after
Reply to every contact from DesignCon within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.
What an electronics and electrical website should show
Engineers and buyers look for clear specifications, certifications and ordering terms they can check quickly, both before they visit a stand and when they return to follow up.
Product pages with datasheets
Give each component family its own product page with datasheets as downloadable PDFs, so engineers can check specifications and certifications such as CE and RoHS before they visit your stand.
Test on mobile
Test your product and datasheet pages on a mid-range phone over a weak connection, because buyers will open them at your stand while talking to you.
Multilingual ordering details
Offer your pages in the languages of your distributors and OEM buyers, and state ordering details such as minimum quantities, lead times and sample requests clearly in each language.
Fair QR code and follow-up
Print a QR code on your stand that leads to a page made for the fair, then scan each visitor's business card and note the product they asked about, and write to them within a week.
