So let us crack on and give it a leg up into the modern age.
Instantly improve your website for free
To instantly improve your website, first we need to make one or two assumptions, as set out below:
- You are using a content management system like WordPress or Joomla.
- You have access to edit the content (Editor or above).
- These changes and tweaks will take place inside the area where you would add content.
Please remember that this list is a simple-to-follow guide only. For a detailed analysis that will deliver a comprehensive improvement report, why not try asking me to complete a sample on one of your service or product pages?
Improvements that anyone can do on website content pages
- Add a well-written title that tells everyone what your page is about.
- Make sure every page has a “Contact” link in the menu.
- On the resulting contact page, add your telephone number, email address, and other methods.
- If possible, add your preferred contact methods to a defined area on every page.
- Check your copy and remove any underlined text that is not a link.
- To emphasize points, make your comments strong (or use CSS to define elements consistently).
- Check your navigation. Make sure that your menu items are the same on all pages.
You can make these changes with a little research
- Check that you have uploaded image files that are as small as possible.
- Use this free image optimiser to shrink them online if you need to.
- To optimise via a WordPress plugin, why not try this free one?
- Tweak your content and add only relevant functions.
- Update your plugins to the latest version.
Carry out these updates with your webmaster.
- Make sure your pages are fast-loading. Learn why this is important.
- If you have a large website, construct a site map. Your visitors will thank you.
- Check and submit a sitemap to Google and Bing.
- Audit your layout to determine your preferred scheme and add it to every page.
- Always look at ways you can improve your website; they are always growing, and so are your users.
*I have no affiliation with these tools
That’s my list, and as you can see, when you look to improve your website, you can achieve this easily if you set your mind to it.
You note that I have not added too much about the design aspect, as this is mainly subjective.
An excellent design for one may be awful for another.
