- Are your contact forms working? If you have noticed customer enquiries or sign-ups lacking lately, then it’s possible that your contact forms are broken. Investigate immediately and ensure that any process where a customer needs to act or share is simple and swift.
- Is there anything affecting the speed? If you have bad service storage or numerous high-quality images, then loading times are going to be long and frustrating. Try cutting metadata and reviewing your codebase. Even if your website is visually appealing, customers will not wait.
- Is your website secure? Cyber attacks not only destroy the hard work you have put into the website, it also puts your employee’s and customers’ data at risk. Always obtain a SSL certificate and If you think you have been hacked, get in touch with us and we can help.
- Do you have concise and consistent copy? Video is getting more popular but that doesn’t mean copy is redundant just yet. It’s always worth taking the time to write engaging and enticing content that skillfully demonstrates your business’s USP. Also, don’t forget SEO is key and always worth the investment.
- How is the navigation? Clear and informative signposts are essential, as is a tidy and orderly homepage. Any click-throughs and menu options need to be easy for the user otherwise you are going to have an ongoing problem.
