Every person that owns a website wants to know how they can improve it. Whether it be getting more traffic, improving their SEO for organic rankings, or just making their website have a better look and feel. Many times when you ask a Phoenix web design company this the answer is very pricey and the things that they tell you are correct. However during times where you don?t have the extra money to invest in your website especially during the holiday season what can be done to improve your website that is in need of updates? This is something as a Phoenix web design team we have pondered and came up with a list of simple updates that can improve the look and feel of your website until you can afford to make the major updates your website is needing.
- File Size ? Make sure that the file sizes for images, videos and other things that need to upload when somebody visits your site are small. This will help your websites load time which is not only important to the site visitor but also to your organic rankings that you should be trying to improve through search engine optimization.
- Consistency ? If your website is not already make your website consistent. Keep the font styles and sizes consistent as well as the Menus. If you have a menu on the right side of your website keep it consistent throughout your website.
- Bad Links and Images ? Make sure your website doesn?t have any broken links or images on your website. Go through your website and fix all the links and images that may be broken. This looks bad to visitors to your website and may make them never comeback.
- Contact Information ? Make all your contact information prominent. There is no bigger frustration when somebody needs to get a hold of you and can?t find your contact information anywhere on your website. This makes potential customer frustrated and not want to do business with you.
- Browser Compatibility ? Make sure your website is compatible in all browsers. There is no way of now what browsers the traffic to your website will be using so you need to make sure your website is working perfectly across all browsers.
- External Links ? Make sure all external links are opening in a new tab. You don?t want people leaving your website as they may not find it again. If an external link opens in a new tab then it keeps your potential customer on your website for later viewing.
