So how do you create an engaging “About Us” page that gets across your Aha! moment?
Your about page should show you and your company as genuine, approachable, and head and shoulders above your competitors. Below we are going to outline what the best about us pages have so you can achieve it for yourself.
Step 1 – decide what you want the person to achieve when they are on your about us page eg, contact you, look at your products or services.
Step 2.– Establish your mission statement. A good mission statement is clear and concise statement about why your business exists. Here you need to state the goal of your company, and what a client or customer will feel after they have used your product or service.
Step 3 – Outline the company story. Every business was started on an “aha!” moment when they noticed that the marketing was lacking something you could offer. Below outline your “aha!” moment, any milestones you have had along the way, and reveal how your business
Step 4 – Tell your audience who you serve and where you operate.
Step 5 – Describe your values. Your prospective buyers are human beings and want to be treated as such. Tell them what your culture is like and what you stand for.
Below are some examples of About Us pages that we believe stand out above the rest.
Marc Ensign
Marc Ensign has nailed the balance between being friendly and someone who takes his work seriously. He has shown that he has identified the gap in the market for his service whilst speaking in a language that will help his target audience resonate with their own feelings and objections.
Joe Payton
This about us page is about fun whilst also about getting across the fact that he is an awesome illustrator.
Anton & Irene
Anton and Irene’s about us page manages to get a lot of information over to the viewer in a very querky way. It is engaging and interactive.
Lateral
Lateral Is a design and development studio. They have taken a large team and made their about us team page really interactive and fun. Not only are all their staff posed in a way that says a lot about their personality they have made the whole teams faces move with the mouse scroll.
Humaan
Probably one of our favorites here at Pink Elephant just wish we had the guts to be so brave. Humaan really showcase the teams personality as well as each individual the use of GIFs images of each individual team member to show more of their own personality.
