Websites are like silverware drawers. They start out the vision of order, with special compartments for everything. Then a grapefruit spoon gets mixed in with the soup spoons. Someone tosses in a ladle because they can’t figure out where else it should go. Toast crumbs accumulate at the bottom. Before long, what was a bounty of neatness can become a chaotic mess just from day to day living.
It’s understandable, because websites are always growing and changing. Nevertheless, it helps to take a periodic assessment to figure out what should go where, and if it’s operating at optimum capacity.
Here are a few things you can check right now:
- Is your name clearly identified on your homepage? Make sure it appears on internal pages too.
- Are your organization’s colors consistently used? It’s a good idea to limit your colors to two.
- Are there broken links? If so, fix them right away!
While that’s a good start, you should do a complete website assessment and do it regularly. Lucky for you, we’re here to help.
This month, as part of Talance’s year-long 10th anniversary celebration, we’re performing free website analyses to determine how you can improve the performance of your website. The analysis includes a review of design, user-friendliness, search engine visibility and how popular it is in social media. We’ll deliver you a handy report you can keep and refer to while you make updates.
