Does your Website need a Winter Website Workout

Woman running over a bridge to get her FREE Website Workout

It’s the new year. Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? Was one of them to go to the gym to get fitter and lose that Christmas podge?

Well, your website is not dissimilar. Over the years that you’ve had it, it’s hopefully been updated, edited, had new content added and irrelevant content removed. But is it still contiguous?

When was the last time you went through it,

  • Page by page
  • Link by Link to make sure everything is still working
  • Word by Word to ensure all your words still send the right message
  • Image by image to make sure your pictures are fresh, relevant and up to date.
  • To check that the navigation doesn’t take a visitor to the wrong page – or even worse, a 404 Error Page
  • To ensure that all pages load in under 3 seconds
  • Checking that your Shopping Cart (if you have one) still works
  • That your shopping cart is easy and logical to use. Ask someone unfamiliar with your site to make a trial purchase and ask for their feedback.
  • Ensure that the whole transaction process still functions as designed
  • And that your site is super easy to use on a small (mobile phone) screen

Oh, and the SEO is still top-notch, you’re using the right keywords, your Header Tags are using relevant Key Words, your Meta Title and Meta Descriptions are the right length and not duplicated, that your images have SEO relevant file names, all images have Alt-Tags and all images are of an appropriate size. That your content has keywords featured in the top one or two paragraphs but that keywords are not overly repeated. That nothing’s been missed, no stone left unturned, and your links to your Social Media profiles still work.

It’s so easy to take these things for granted, to trust that your developer has done their job but such complacency could lead to a decline in your business because you’ll never find out until it’s too late. Nobody will tell you if they encounter a problem, they’ll just go to their search engine of choice, probably Google, and look for somebody else to service their need.
